API Seller Console

The Seller Console is your home base on api.market. It is where you connect your API, turn it into a product, set your prices, and track your sales — all from one place.

Seller Console dashboard with the setup checklist

💡 New here? This guide walks you through setup one step at a time. You do not have to finish in one sitting — your progress is saved, so you can pick up where you left off.

🚀 How api.market works

api.market sits between your API and the developers who use it. You publish your API once, and the platform handles the hard parts — sign-up, API keys, billing, rate limits, and routing — so you can focus on building.

api.market takes care of:

• Authentication — customers generate and manage their own API keys

• Billing — invoices, payments, and payouts run through Stripe

• Analytics — usage tracking across every product and customer

• User Portal — a ready-made portal where developers self-serve

• API Proxy — requests are securely routed to your backend

🏢 Step 1 — Create your organization

Your organization is your store on api.market. Every product you sell lives inside it, so you need one before you can import an API.

1. On the Seller Console, click Start next to Create organization — or use + Create Organization in the sidebar.

2. Enter a name for your store (for example, SmartAPI). Keep it under 16 characters.

3. Click Create Organization.

Once created, you land inside your new store. Your organization name shows in the sidebar dropdown, so you can switch stores if you run more than one.

📊 Your Store Overview

Inside your organization, the Overview page is a quick snapshot of how your store is doing:

Card	What it shows
Products	How many API products you have created
Published	Products that are live on the marketplace
Users	Developers who have subscribed
Active subscriptions	Customers currently paying
Total revenue	Your earnings so far
API calls	Total usage across your products

This becomes your day-to-day dashboard once setup is done.

🗺️ Your setup journey

Work through these pages in order. Each one explains a step in detail with screenshots.

1. Importing an API Source — upload your OpenAPI (Swagger) file so api.market knows how to reach your backend.

2. What Is an API Product — turn your source into a listing with a title, description, and the URL customers call.

3. What Are Pricing Plans — decide how customers pay: a monthly subscription or pay-as-you-go.

4. Submitting for Review — send your finished product to the api.market team for approval.

5. Adding Payout Details — add your bank or PayPal details so you get paid.

6. Adding Store Details — name and brand your store so customers recognize you.

💡 Tip: Use the sidebar links under Manage APIs, Sales, and Settings to jump straight to each step.

✅ You are all set

When every step is done, the Seller Console shows "Your store setup is complete."

🎉 Congratulations! Your store is live. Developers can now discover and subscribe to your API.
