Pricing & Discovery¶

App pricing¶

An app has a base price and, optionally, a set of plans.

Field	Notes
Price	0 = free. Free apps install instantly; paid apps go through checkout first.
Currency	Defaults to BDT. Set at creation and not editable afterwards. Stored as a 3-letter code.
Plans	Optional. If you define plans, the base price is only the "starting at" figure shown on the listing.

Plans¶

Each plan has:

Field	Notes
Name	Required — a row without a name is discarded.
Billing period	month, year, lifetime or one_time.
Price	≥ 0.
Trial days	Optional. Only for month and year — there is no renewal to trial against on lifetime or one-time plans, and the field is disabled for them.
Default	Exactly one plan is the default. Selecting another moves the flag.

Access is always granted by an entitlement, never by raw payment state. lifetime and one_time create a perpetual entitlement with no subscription row behind it.

Theme pricing¶

Themes are free or one-time only. There are no theme subscriptions.

The price you enter on the submission form is a proposal. A Bitcommerz super-admin sets or confirms the final market price after approval, and that is what merchants pay. Currency is BDT.

Discovery¶

What merchants can actually search and filter on is short, so use it well:

• Name — the strongest signal. It is permanent once submitted.
• Category — free text on the app form; a required field on themes. Use the closest fit to an existing category rather than inventing one, or your listing will sit in a category of one.
• Description — up to 5000 characters, and the only place to explain what the app does. Lead with the concrete outcome for a merchant.

There is no subtitle field, no search-keyword field, no geographic or sales-channel targeting, and no listing media for apps (no icon upload, no screenshots, no banner). Themes get screenshots, but they are extracted from your package — see Theme Screenshots & Assets.

Revenue share and payouts¶

Developer share	75% of every app and theme sale
Platform fee	25% — hosting, billing, distribution
Buyer-protection hold	7 days before your share is released
Currency	BDT

The split is flat: no tiers, no volume gates. It is resolved and snapshotted onto each transaction at the time of sale, so a later change never rewrites past earnings.

Every sale moves through: pending → settled → held → released, or refunded.

Where you see it¶

Sales & Earnings in the Partner Panel shows:

• Available balance — released, ready to withdraw
• In hold — inside the 7-day window
• Lifetime earned
• Recent sales: date, product, gross, your share, state
• Payouts: date, amount, reference, state (pending / paid)

How you get paid¶

Marketplace payouts are processed manually in this release. The Sales & Earnings page is read-only — there is no payout-request button on it, and there is no published payout schedule, minimum threshold or payout method. A payout appears in the table once the Bitcommerz team has issued it.
