Step 2. Create and configure a product in Vendor Portal

Using Vendor Portal, a vendor creates and distributes its service as a product. A product contains the service description and information on how to provision and sell the service.

To create and configure a product:

1. Get access to Vendor Portal (see Get access to Vendor Portal):
   • If you do not have an account, register on Vendor Portal.
   • If you already have an account, log in with your credentials.
2. Update the vendor profile, select the preferred languages and currencies (see View and update the vendor profile).
3. Create a product (see Create a new product).
4. Configure your product (see Configure your product with the Product Dashboard):
   
   1. Describe the product (see Add product information for the end customers).
   2. Configure the provisioning options (see Add Product provisioning settings).
   3. Create plans, set up the fees (see Add sales information).
   4. Select your distributors (see Add distributors).
5. Send the product to moderation (see Manage your product). After moderation and publication, the product will become available to your distributors.

If you need to change or add information about a published product, update the product (see Update a product) and resend it to moderation. Until publication of the updated product version, the changes do not affect the product version that your distributors sell.

The update may be required, for example, if the base URL for requests to your API service is changed (see Product integration settings) or a new distributor is added to the product distribution network (see Add distributors).
