Sell on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace.
Without the friction.

Alibaba Cloud runs a China domestic marketplace and an international one. Fours covers both from a single integration: listing sync, imported pricing dimensions, automatic entitlements and usage metering.

Both regions, one integration.

China domestic and international are two marketplaces. Connecting once covers them both, and everything after that behaves the same way.

Two marketplaces, one connection.

Alibaba Cloud runs a China domestic marketplace and a separate international one. Rather than standing up an integration for each, Fours covers both regions from a single connection.

Products and pricing arrive together.

Published Alibaba Cloud SaaS products sync into Fours and are managed alongside your other marketplace listings. Pricing dimensions and commit options import straight from the listing, so pricing is never re-keyed between the two.

Entitlements without the reconciliation.

When a buyer subscribes on Alibaba Cloud, the entitlement is created in Fours automatically and follows the subscription lifecycle from there. There is nothing to reconcile by hand between the marketplace and your records.

Usage reported for consumption billing.

Metered usage is reported back to Alibaba Cloud so buyers are billed for consumption through their own Alibaba Cloud accounts, against the pricing dimensions the listing already defines.

Frequently asked questions

From teams adding Alibaba Cloud to a marketplace motion they already run.

Does this cover China and the international marketplace?

Both. Alibaba Cloud runs a China domestic marketplace and a separate international one, and a single Fours integration covers the two.

Which product types are supported?

SaaS products published on Alibaba Cloud. They sync into Fours and are managed alongside your listings on every other marketplace.

How does pricing work?

Pricing dimensions and commit options import straight from the listing, so there is nothing to re-key between the marketplace and Fours.

How are entitlements created?

Automatically. When a buyer subscribes on Alibaba Cloud the entitlement is created in Fours and follows the subscription lifecycle from there, with no manual reconciliation.

How does usage metering work?

Metered usage is reported back to Alibaba Cloud against the imported pricing dimensions, so buyers are billed for consumption through their own Alibaba Cloud accounts.

Does Fours automate co-sell on Alibaba Cloud?

No. Co-sell automation covers the three hyperscalers that run a full co-sell program: AWS, Microsoft and Google Cloud. Alibaba Cloud support covers integration, product sync, pricing dimensions, entitlements and usage metering.
