The full guide

Last verified 2026-10-30

01What it is and who is there

The Atlassian Marketplace sells apps that extend Jira, Confluence and other Atlassian products. Teams and admins search it for add-ons that fill gaps, and many buy through their existing Atlassian billing. Buyer intent is high, but building and listing an app is serious work.

02Cost and what you actually pay for

Atlassian sets the terms for paid apps sold through the marketplace, including its share of revenue. Check Atlassian's current marketplace partner terms before pricing.

03Is it right for you?

It fits tools that extend Jira or Confluence, such as reporting, time tracking or workflow apps. It fits poorly for products outside the Atlassian stack. Expect a large build and review effort.

04Before you start

  • An Atlassian developer account.
  • Read the marketplace partner agreement and app approval guidelines.
  • Decide on the platform (for example Forge or Connect) based on Atlassian's current guidance.
  • Prepare documentation, a support channel and a privacy policy.

05Step-by-step: how to distribute here

  1. Build the app and test it on a development site.
  2. Check it against Atlassian's approval guidelines.
  3. Submit the listing with screenshots, docs and pricing.
  4. Respond to review feedback.
  5. Offer a free trial through the marketplace, if supported.
  6. Support customers quickly; reviews influence ranking.
