Hey community! Our app is transactable, and we currently have two offers live in Marketplace: Saas and MS Teams offers. However, some of our customers find it confusing and aren’t sure which one they should choose. We also always prefer them chosing Saas so we can track everything via Partner center. What’s the recommended way to structure or differentiate the two offers so the choice is clear for customers? For example, should we use different naming, descriptions, or positioning for each offer? Would really appreciate any best practices or examples from others who have faced it!How do you actually unlock growth from Microsoft Teams Marketplace?
Hey folks 👋 Looking for some real-world advice from people who’ve been through this. Context: We’ve been listed as a Microsoft Teams app for several years now. The app is stable, actively used, and well-maintained - but for a long time, Teams Marketplace wasn’t a meaningful acquisition channel for us. Things changed a bit last year. We started seeing organic growth without running any dedicated campaigns, plus more mid-market and enterprise teams installing the app, running trials, and even using it in production. That was encouraging - but it also raised a bigger question. How do you actually systematize this and get real, repeatable benefits from the Teams Marketplace? I know there are Microsoft Partner programs, co-sell motions, marketplace benefits, etc. - but honestly, it’s been very hard to figure out: - where exactly to start - what applies to ISVs building Teams apps - how to apply correctly - and what actually moves the needle vs. what’s just “nice to have” On top of that, it’s unclear how (or if) you can interact directly with the Teams/Marketplace team. From our perspective, this should be a win-win: we invest heavily into the platform, build for Teams users, and want to make that experience better. Questions to the community: If you’re a Teams app developer: what actually worked for you in terms of marketplace growth? Which Partner programs or motions are worth the effort, and which can be safely ignored early on? Is there a realistic way to engage with the Teams Marketplace team (feedback loops, programs, office hours, etc.)? How do you go from “organic installs happen” to a structured channel? Would really appreciate any practical advice, lessons learned, or even “what not to do” stories 🙏 Thanks in advance!🤔Finding alignment with Channel partners as an ISV?
Hi all! We're new to the MS ecosystem. Spent the last 15 years developing products for the Salesforce ecosystem, which is very direct sales heavy. We've launched our app https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/Office365/WA200008222 which is a native and robust integration between Salesforce and Microsoft Teams. We listed just this year in March 2025. We're attending Microsoft Ignite for the first time, and it's clear we need to have a channel partner strategy. Microsoft claims there are over 500k partners - my question to the group (especially ISV partners): how do you find channel partners effectively that align to your product and strategy? Where do we even start? We obviously have an affinity towards partners that serve Saleforce and MS Teams customers.

Hi Community, We are an ISV and publish Apps on AppSource. I’ve always assumed that anyone with a valid email and credit card could purchase a product through AppSource. The requirements on this Microsoft page seem to support that: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/purchase-software-appsource However, I recently discovered that only Microsoft 365 admins can access order details in the Admin Center. For example, clicking on your badge in AppSource, View all orders in Admin Center, redirects you to this link: https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/subscriptions/apps But if your account isn’t an admin, you’ll see this message: Switch to an account that has permission Your account (xxxxxx) doesn’t have permission to view or manage this page in the Microsoft 365 admin center. This is confusing. If any user can initiate a purchase, why can’t they view or manage their orders? And if only admins are meant to complete or manage purchases, why is the checkout process open to all users? Would appreciate any clarification or official guidance on this. Thanks!How we increased trials 200% with Marketplace Rewards

Morning, For our gauge.it Teams app we have implemented AI to allow the feedback generated by employees to be summarised into suggestions for the manager. When we look at the Team's store I would like it to appear in the AI-powered apps - what is the best process for doing this if we are using Azure Open AI, do we need to add anything to the manifest when pushing the update? Thanks Alasdair
