Overview
This document provides information about Description.
Any store can publish its own content on the marketplace or take content from other publishers to offer it in its own catalog. This approach expands the reach of the content and simplifies its commercialization.
Main Actions
-
Publish own content on the marketplace: When a store acts as a Content Provider, it can add its own publications to the marketplace. This allows other stores to take these publications to include them in their catalogs.
-
Take publications from the marketplace: As a store, you can select available publications in the marketplace to add them to your inventory. This allows offering a variety of content to end users.
-
Withdraw own publication from the marketplace: The store that owns the content (publisher) can decide to withdraw its publication from the marketplace. This affects all stores that have taken the publication:
- If the content has been acquired by users: The publication will not be available for new sales, but users who have already purchased it will still have access.
- If the content has not been acquired: It simply becomes unavailable for new sales.
- In all cases: In the control panel, inventory section, the content will be marked as "Withdrawn from Marketplace." If the publication was acquired, the administrator can still access reading statistics.
-
Reincorporate content to the marketplace: The store that owns the content can re-enable a withdrawn publication, allowing other stores to take it again. This action does not reincorporate the content into the catalogs of the stores that had previously taken the publication.
-
Withdraw a marketplace publication from inventory: A store that has taken a publication from the marketplace can decide to withdraw it from its own inventory. This prevents new sales but does not affect users who have already acquired it.
-
Delete the content: The store owner can permanently delete the content, which means all associated metadata is lost and it cannot be reincorporated. In the control panel, the content will be marked as "Deleted" and will not be available for any future action. Stores that took this content from the marketplace are affected in the same way as if it were withdrawn from the marketplace.
