Configure Azure Container offer listing details

  • Artikkeli

This page lets you define the offer details such as offer name, description, links, contacts, logos, and screenshots.

Note

Provide offer listing details in one language only. English isn't required as long as the offer description begins with the phrase, "This application is available only in [non-English language]." It is also acceptable to provide a Useful link URL to offer content in a language other than the one used in the Offer listing content.

Marketplace details

The Name you enter here is shown to customers as the title of the offer. This field is pre-populated with the name you entered for Offer alias when you created the offer, but you can change it. The name:

  • Can include trademark and copyright symbols.
  • Must be 50 characters or less.
  • Can't include emojis.

Provide a short description of your offer for the Search results summary (up to 100 characters). This description might be used in marketplace search results.

Provide a Short description of your offer, up to 256 characters. This will appear in search results and on your offer's details page.

Include one or more of the following items in your description:

  • The value and key benefits of your offer
  • Category and/or industry associations
  • In-app purchase opportunities
  • Any required disclosures

Here are some tips for writing an informative and impactful description:

  • Clearly describe the value of your offer in the first few sentences. Keep in mind that the first few sentences might be displayed in search results.
  • Focus on the value your offer provides. Don't rely on features and functionality to sell your product.
  • Use industry-specific vocabulary and language that describes the benefits of your offer.
  • Use HTML tags to format your description so it's more engaging. For a list of allowed tags, see Supported HTML tags.

Important

If you plan to publish a Kubernetes application-based offer, ensure your offer is categorized correctly and discoverable by customers by adding the term KubernetesApps to your description.

Use HTML tags to format your description so it's more engaging. For a list of allowed tags, see Supported HTML tags.

Enter the web address (URL) of your organization's privacy policy. Ensure your offer complies with privacy laws and regulations. You must also post a valid privacy policy on your website.

Provide supplemental online documents about your offer. You can add up to 25 links. To add a link, select + Add a link and then complete the following fields:

  • Name – Customers will see this on your offer's details page.
  • Link (URL) – Enter a link for customers to view your online document. The link must start with http:// or https://.

Contact information

Provide the name, email, and phone number for a Support contact, Engineering contact, and Cloud Solution Provider Program contact. This information isn't shown to customers, but will be available to Microsoft, and might be provided to CSP partners.

Note

In the phone number field, dashes (-) and other special characters are not permitted. The phone number should only contain numbers and spaces.

In the Support contact section, provide the Support website where Azure Global and Azure Government (if applicable) customers can reach your support team.

Marketplace media

Provide logos and images to use with your offer. All images must be in PNG format. Blurry images will cause your submission to be rejected.

Important

When creating media for your offer, make sure that the assets you create are welcoming and inclusive for all. To learn more about how to create accessible media, see Create accessible media.

Note

If you have an issue uploading files, ensure that your local network doesn't block the https://upload.xboxlive.com service that's used by Partner Center.

Logos

Provide a PNG file for the Large size logo. Partner Center will use this to create other required sizes. You can optionally replace this with a different image later.

These logos are used in different places in the listing:

  • The large logo appears on your offer listing page in Microsoft AppSource.
  • The small logo appears on the Microsoft AppSource main page and search results page.

Follow these guidelines for your logos:

  • The Azure design has a simple color palette. Limit the number of primary and secondary colors on your logo.
  • The theme colors of the portal are white and black. Don't use these colors as the background color for your logo. Use a color that makes your logo prominent in the portal. We recommend simple primary colors.
  • If you use a transparent background, make sure that the logo and text aren't white, black, or blue.
  • The look and feel of your logo should be flat and avoid gradients in the logo or background. Don't place text on the logo, not even your company or brand name.
  • Make sure the logo isn't stretched.

Screenshots

Add at least one (and up to five) screenshots that show how your offer works. All screenshots must be 1280 x 720 pixels and in PNG format. Add a caption for each screenshot.

Videos

Add up to five optional videos that demonstrate your offer. They should be hosted on an external video service. Enter each video's name, web address, and a thumbnail PNG image of the video at 1280 x 720 pixels.
