Overview

Sell is a set of pages for partners and administrators who bring Business Central to customers. It covers becoming a reseller of Business Central Online, selling apps commercially through Marketplace, helping new customers get productive, and tailoring the product to their needs.

The pages fit together along the sales path. Start with the reseller guide for partner enrollment, go-to-market, customer onboarding, and how licensing differs from on-premises. Then use the configuration packages page to speed up standard company setups, and the onboarding experiences page to guide new users. The Marketplace page is for partners who distribute apps, and the customization page covers tailoring the interface and features.
