Сonfiguring CloudBlue Store for Resellers

By default, CloudBlue Store is only available to providers. If you want to make it available to resellers, you need to install an add-on called CloudBlue Store for Resellers. This add-on is not installed by default.

To enable CloudBlue Store for Resellers, complete the following steps:

Go to the UX1 for Provider Panel > CloudBlue Store, locate the CloudBlue Store for Resellers add-on, and click Install Now.
During the installation, specify the following settings:
- Store name. This is displayed in the navigation menus of UX1 Panel for Resellers and in the store's showcase.
- Header image link. This is a link to an image that you want to display in the store's showcase. The image must be publicly accessible. The recommended parameters of the image file: PNG or SVG, 180 by 1200 pixels, 2 megabytes maximum. For Retina displays, 320 by 2400 pixels is recommended.
- Header text. This heading is displayed on the banner in the store's showcase.

Note: CloudBlue Store for Resellers becomes Active automatically after it is installed. If you want to modify any settings such as app Availability, you can pause the store, complete the configuration, and activate it again.

Once the CloudBlue Store for Resellers add-on is installed, you can modify the parameters specified at the installation step on the Settings > General tab. To do this, go to the UX1 for Provider Panel, select the CloudBlue Store for Resellers add-on, and click Manage.

To define whether new applications appear in the store for resellers automatically, set the New Apps parameter to one of the following options:

Not available automatically. Applications will not appear automatically in CloudBlue Store for Resellers unless you set them manually to Available on the Apps tab.

Available automatically. All applications onboarded by the provider will become available for resellers automatically.

On the Apps tab you can view and manage the following settings for available applications:

Availability. This parameter has the following settings:
- Available. If you set New Apps to Not available automatically, applications will be either Available or Not Available depending on what you manually specify for each application.
- Not available. If you set New Apps to Available Automatically, all applications will appear as Available for all your resellers automatically.
Note: You can change the app status at any time. If you set an app to Not available, it will only affect its availability on the store front, it will not remove the app if it has already been installed for your resellers.
Installation. This parameter has the following settings:
- Manual. If you want an application to be installed manually by your resellers, you need to set this parameter to Manual. To install an application, your reseller will need to go to CloudBlue Store, find the application and click Install.
- Auto-Install. If you want an application to be installed automatically for all your existing and new resellers, you need to set this parameter to Auto-Install.
Important: Changing the Installation parameter from Auto-Install to Manual will remove the apps that have already been installed for your resellers.

On the Settings screen you can activate or pause CloudBlue Store for your resellers by choosing from the dropdown list in the top-right corner:

Paused. This will make CloudBlue Store unavailable to all your resellers.

Note: If you pause CloudBlue Store for Resellers, all applications and settings will remain unchanged. This parameter only affects the visibility of CloudBlue Store for your resellers.

Active. This will activate CloudBlue Store for your resellers.

If you want to uninstall the CloudBlue Store for Resellers add-on, go to the UX1 for Provider Panel > CloudBlue Store for Resellers, and click Uninstall.
