This page lets you define the categories used to group your offer on Azure Marketplace, your application version, and the legal contracts that support your offer.

Categories

Select categories and subcategories to place your offer in the appropriate marketplace search areas. Be sure to describe later in the offer description how your offer supports these categories.

Select a Primary category.
To add a second optional category (Secondary), select the +Categories link.
Select up to two subcategories for the Primary and/or Secondary category. If no subcategory is applicable to your offer, select Not applicable. Use Ctrl+click to select a second subcategory.

See the full list of categories and subcategories in Offer Listing Best Practices.

Legal

Under Legal, provide terms and conditions for your offer. You have two options:

Use the standard contract
Use your own terms and conditions

To learn about the standard contract, see Standard Contract for the Microsoft commercial marketplace. You can download the Standard Contract PDF (make sure your pop-up blocker is off).

Use the standard contract

To simplify the procurement process for customers and reduce legal complexity for software vendors, Microsoft offers a standard contract you can use for your offers in the commercial marketplace. When you offer your software under the standard contract, customers only need to read and accept it one time, and you don't have to create custom terms and conditions.

Select the Use the Standard Contract for Microsoft's commercial marketplace check box.
In the Confirmation dialog box, select Accept. Depending on the size of your screen, you might have to scroll up to see it.

Note

After you publish an offer using the Standard Contract for the commercial marketplace, you can't use your own custom terms and conditions. Either offer your solution under the standard contract or under your own terms and conditions.

Select Save draft before continuing to the next tab in the left-nav menu, Offer listing.

Use your own terms and conditions

You can choose to provide your own terms and conditions, instead of the standard contract. Customers must accept these terms before they can try your offer.

Under Legal, clear the Use the Standard Contract for Microsoft's commercial marketplace check box.
In the Terms and conditions box, enter up to 10,000 characters of text.

Note

If you require a longer description, enter a single web address that points to where your terms and conditions can be found. It will be displayed to customers as an active link.
