How to: Add apps in the Microsoft Seller Dashboard

Sign in to the Seller Dashboard with your Microsoft account.

On the apps tab, choose add a new app.

In the NEW APP wizard, on the listing type page, choose the app type that matches your app.

If it’s the first time you have created an app for the store that lists your app type, an agreement will appear. Under marketplace terms and conditions, read the agreement, and if you agree, select the check box, and then choose NEXT.

Note

If you add an app at a later date that will be listed in a different store, you’ll see a different store agreement. If you add an app at a later date that will be listed in the same store, then the same agreement applies. If you agree, you’ll only see the agreement for that store once. After you have added your app, if you want to see a list of accepted agreements, choose the account details tab. Under terms and conditions, you’ll see the list of the agreements you have accepted. To see the details of an agreement, choose the name of the agreement.

On the overview page, do the following:

• Under general info, provide the information, which can include App Title, Version, and Release Date, depending upon your app type.

• Choose a Category.

• Under logo, choose the App Logo tile, and upload your logo.

• Under app package do the following:

• Choose the app package tile, and upload your app.

  If the app type you chose supports OAuth Client IDs, you’ll see the My app is a service and requires server to server authorization option. If your app will use OAuth, select the check box and select the OAuth Client ID that you want your app to use.

• If you have any helpful tips for testing your app, under Testing Notes, provide your testing information.

  If your app calls, supports, contains, or uses cryptography or encryption, select the check box, verify the information, and then choose Yes or No.

• Under trial support, if you offer a trial of your app, select the check box next to My app supports a trial, and select the duration and number of users for your trial.

  Note
  If your app is a mail app, then trials don’t apply.

Choose NEXT.

  Note
  You must submit a privacy policy or a link to a privacy policy in your customized end user license agreement. If you don’t have a customized license agreement, you must submit a privacy policy or a link to a privacy policy to include with the standard end user license agreement provided by the store.
