Becoming an OCI Partner and Publisher

Get started as a publisher on Oracle Marketplace by becoming an OCI partner.

To become a publisher and publish paid package listings on Oracle Marketplace, the publisher’s entity must be domiciled in the United States. This includes being incorporated in the U.S., having an OPN membership tied to that U.S. entity, maintaining a USD bank account, and signing the U.S. Marketplace OCMA agreement. Publishers offering paid listings also need additional iSupplier account setup.

If you are planning to publish non package listings, then The U.S. domicile country restriction does not apply. For more information, contact ocmpartnerships_ww@oracle.com.

The end-to-end partner onboarding process begins with account setup, as described on the Registering as a Marketplace Publisher page, and ends with publishing your first listing on Oracle Marketplace.

Prerequisites

Before you can publish an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure listing, ensure the following prerequisites are completed:

Getting an Oracle SSO account isn't required.

Registering as a Marketplace Publisher

To register as a Marketplace publisher, you must get an oracle account, join Oracle Partner Network, review and accept terms, and create an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account.

To register as a Marketplace publisher, you need to perform the following tasks:

Getting an Oracle Account

Before you can register to be an Oracle Marketplace publisher, you must get an Oracle account if you don’t already have one. You can use your Oracle account credentials (user name and password) to sign in to Oracle online applications, Oracle websites, support, events, communities, and more.

To register for an Oracle account, do the following:

  1. Go to the Oracle Cloud website.
  2. Select View Accounts, and then select Create an Account.
  3. Enter the email address and other details in the appropriate fields. Be sure to complete all the required fields.
  4. Select Create Account. After an account is created, you receive a confirmation email at the email address that you provided.
  5. Follow the instructions in the email to verify the email address.

Joining Oracle Partner Network

Before you can publish apps to Oracle Marketplace, you must register your company as a member of Oracle Partner Network (OPN).

If you already have an OPN membership and aren't sure of your OPN status or company ID, contact Partner Assistance, do the following:

  1. Before you join Oracle Partner Network (OPN), understand the prerequisites and the process. See Things to Know Prior to Joining Oracle Partner Network.
  2. For information about becoming an OPN member, visit the Oracle Partner Network website.

You’ll receive an email confirmation when the OPN team receives your membership application. The OPN team reviews and processes your application. You’ll receive a second email when your membership is approved. Proceed with the remaining steps, only after you receive the OPN membership number.

Reviewing and Accepting Terms

The Oracle Marketplace Publisher Agreement enables you to create and publish free, bring-your-own-license (BYOL), and paid listings on Oracle Marketplace. For paid listings, this agreement enables Oracle to bill the end-customer for their usage of your application.

After you receive the OPN Company ID, you must accept the terms and conditions of the Oracle Marketplace Publisher Agreement.
Note

If you are publishing a paid listing, you must be an entity in the United States.

Refer to the Agreements & Policies repository to view the policies.

You'll receive a welcome email from our Royalty Reporting & Contact Compliance (RR&CC) team (royalty-oci-mp_us@oracle.com).

You'll also receive an email invitation from our Supplier Data Management team (supplier-data-request_ww@oracle.com) to register online as a supplier in the Oracle Supplier Portal Cloud along with a user guide containing all required information and process steps to be followed.

After accepting the terms, register as a supplier. Complete this additional step only if you want to publish paid listings to Oracle Marketplace. This allows Oracle to provide payment under the Oracle Marketplace Publisher Agreement for your customer's use of your application. After you submit the Oracle Marketplace Publisher Agreement, Oracle initiates the registration process for you to become a supplier and get paid. Provide the information requested by Oracle.

If you don't want to publish paid listings to Oracle Marketplace, proceed with the next step as you don't need to register as a supplier.

To register as a supplier, you'll need to provide the following information:

  • Provide your company details including company name, address, tax ID, tax form(s), and bank account details for payments.
  • Assign and provide contact details for two authorized point of contacts from your company.

Once you've completed and submitted your registration, our Supplier Data Management (SDM) and Independent Validation Team (IVT) teams will complete their verification processes, supplier set up will be completed, and you will receive a confirmation email.

Note

Follow the instructions provided and respond to communications in a timely manner to ensure your company is set up accurately and promptly and avoids a delay in the processing of your payments.

If you encounter any issues during the supplier registration process, contact royalty-oci-mp_us@oracle.com.

While you wait for the verification process to complete, you can start creating your listings. You don't have to wait for the confirmation email to create the listing.
