Are you the first one of your company to access the developer platform?
During the sign up on the developer platform you will be required to create a company (name of your company) and then your app (name of the app you want to integrate).
Need an invite to join your company on the developer platform?
Your partner dashboard is the place on Maestrano that acts like a CMS. This is where you can update the content (copy, images, videos, pricing…) for your application page.
> getting access to my partner dashboard
To get access to your partner dashboard on Maestrano, you simply need to create an account on Maestrano. Go on the signup page and follow the process. Once you have confirmed your email, we will manually link your account to your partner dashboard. To request your account to be linked to your partner dashboard, feel free to send us an email on developers@maestrano.com.
Once your account is linked to your partner dashboard, you will see new menus appearing on the left menu on your dashboard. This include:
> myportfolio: this menu displays the list of users of your application via Maestrano
> account: these are the details of your company, including bank details
> API: this is the technical section of the dashboard, that gathers the sandbox and production details
> marketing: this is where you can update the marketing details of your application

You need to ask one of your colleagues that is already set up on the platform to send you an invite. To do so, they need to click on the cog wheel in the left bar and enter your email address. You will receive an invite and will be automatically added to the relevant company.
Starting the marketing listing - Master
The master listing is your default listing. You may be listed on multiple platform thanks to your maestrano integration and you may not want to have to manually copy and paste data (remember, we're not found of copy/pasting data...). Once you have filled your master listing, you will be able to link any other listing to this one. Any update on Master will automatically update the listing that are linked.
You are in charge of keeping the content of your app page up to date. You can do it via the CMS interface on your partner dashboard.
At any time, you can visualize your app page by clicking on the “open my app card” button at the top right corner of the marketing section (indicated in red on the above screenshot).

Managing pricing
Maestrano displays pricing on each application page; this pricing, as stated in the general conditions accepted by each customer, is only indicative. Why? Because you, as an application provider, are in charge of your pricing.
When a user signs up to use your application, they will be redirected to your signup process and will have to chose between the pricing displayed on your website.
To create a new pricing details, simply click on the “+” button on the page.
This will expand a pricing menu. All the information you enter here will be displayed in the pricing section of your app page.
Name will appear in the purple section on the left;
Description is the right section (in the example above, it is the number of simultaneous users);
Display order:
Then you enter the pricing, currency and chose the type of plans you are proposing (per month per user, per hour, per GB, etc.)
If you tick the free trial box, it will indicate on your application that your application is eligible for a free trial. If it is unticked, this information will not be displayed on your application page.
Finally, click on save to record your new pricing.
Once you have saved a pricing, you can still modify the details by clicking on the correct line (name/currency); don’t forget to save any edit you want to do. Once an edit is saved, it is instantly changed on your application page (you may have to clear your cache to make it appear).
Let’s take an example:
Plan A is 12 USD in the US
Plan A is 25 AUD in Australia
Plan A is 10 GBP in the UK
Plan B is 10 AUD in Australia and you do not have specific pricing for anywhere else in the world
You need to create Plan A 3 times in your dashboard, with the same name and description and with a different pricing.
You create plan B only once.
