Become a partner

Partners can share and sell their apps on Atlassian Marketplace, offering various solutions like project management tools, reporting enhancements, themes, templates and much more. There are three types of partners:

  • Marketplace partners: Commercial developers who sell paid apps on the Marketplace. Learn more about the Marketplace Partner Program.
  • Solution Partners: Acting as our channel allies, they sell our products and assist customers with customization or the creation of custom apps.
  • Developers: In-house developers, often within larger organizations, who create customizations primarily for internal use. They have the option to freely release these customizations on the Marketplace or distribute them privately.

Create your partner profile

A partner profile describes the company that "owns" the app. If you're an individual developer without a parent company, then simply create a partner profile using your name (for example, 'Joe Bloggs'). Your user account must be associated with a partner profile before you can modify that partner's app listing.

To create your partner profile on Marketplace:

  1. Create an Atlassian account if you haven't already done so.
  2. Log into the Marketplace using your Atlassian account credentials.
  3. Create your partner account, providing the requested details about your company.

Associate your account with a partner profile

If your account should belong to a particular Marketplace Partner but doesn't, ask somebody on the account to add you.

Here's how they can do this: 

  1. Log in to https://marketplace.atlassian.com/ with your partner account.
  2. Click Manage vendor account from the profile menu in the upper right.
  3. Click Contacts.
  4. Click Add contact.
  5. Enter the email address and click Add.

Note, as a contact, you'll be able to access metrics for Cloud Fortified apps in the developer console.

If there's no other user for your partner profile, then contact the Atlassian Marketplace  and we'll add your information for you.

Adding roles to your contacts

A Marketplace Partner can add contacts to their account, defining who can access specific parts of the app management. An admin can access all app management capabilities, while others have access to specific capabilities, like creating promotions, managing price etc.

When Atlassian reach out to Marketplace Partners, say for processing refunds, or to reach out for security related issues, or to conduct closed beta programs, it's not possible to reach out to all contacts. Therefore you must add roles to your contacts.

Please update the roles whenever there is a change in ownership of a point person, this will help us reach out to the right contact.

How to add roles

  1. Go to Contacts.
  2. Select Manage.
  3. Select an appropriate contact and add a relevant role.
