On the API.market to sell an API it needs to be packaged as a Product.
A Product is composed of:

API Source:
The API Source is the OpenAPI specification that is used to connect your APIs to API.market. API.market acts as an API gateway and makes your API available via a unified API Gateway.
The below diagram explains how API.market works. API.market makes it extremely easy for API developers to discover and integrate your API with a unified API platform.
Each API Product must have one API Source and one or more Pricing Plans. You can learn about Pricing Plan here: What is a Pricing Plan
A user can subscribe to only one "Pricing Plan" from a given Product. User can downgrade or upgrade between Pricing Plans.
For example: a store might list various plans of a given API: Free for $0, Pro for $9, Ultra for $49, Mega for $199 or some other public or private product. The user can only upgrade or downgrade between these products. API Sellers can use private products to offer a private pricing plan to specific users. Example
