Create a Dynamics 365 Operations Apps offer

Before you start, create a commercial marketplace account in Partner Center and ensure it is enrolled in the commercial marketplace program.
Before you begin
Before you can publish a Dynamics 365 Operations Apps offer, you must have a commercial marketplace account in Partner Center and ensure your account is enrolled in the commercial marketplace program. See Create a commercial marketplace account in Partner Center and Verify your account information when you enroll in a new Partner Center program.

Create a new offer
Sign in to Partner Center.
On the Home page, select the Marketplace offers tile.
On the Marketplace offers page, select + New offer > Dynamics 365 Operations Apps.
Important
After an offer is published, any edits you make to it in Partner Center appear on Microsoft AppSource only after you republish the offer. Be sure to always republish an offer after changing it.
New offer
Enter an Offer ID. This is a unique identifier for each offer in your account.
- This ID is visible to customers in the web address for the offer and in Azure Resource Manager templates, if applicable.
- Use only lowercase letters and numbers. The ID can include hyphens and underscores, but no spaces, and is limited to 40 characters. For example, if you enter test-offer-1, the offer web address will be
https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/marketplace/../test-offer-1
. - The Offer ID can't be changed after you select Create.
Enter an Offer alias. This is the name used for the offer in Partner Center.
- This name isn't used on AppSource. It is different from the offer name and other values shown to customers.
- This name can't be changed after you select Create.
Associate the new offer with a publisher. A publisher represents an account for your organization. You might have a need to create the offer under a particular publisher. If you don't, you can simply accept the publisher account you're signed in to.
Note
The selected publisher must be enrolled in the Commercial Marketplace program and can't be modified after the offer is created.
Select Create to generate the offer. Partner Center opens the Offer setup page.
Alias
