Tally Marketplace FAQs

Frequently asked questions for developers publishing solutions on Tally Marketplace. These FAQs answer common questions about registering, building, uploading and pricing your solution on Tally Marketplace. For step-by-step details, refer to the guides listed in the Read Me.

To start with, Certified Partners have initial access to publish solutions on Tally Marketplace. Access will be extended to more partners in the coming phases, so keep an eye on communications from Tally for updates.

Any Tally partner can be a Seller Partner. Seller Partners refer customers to solutions on Tally Marketplace and earn a commission on each sale. No separate registration is needed, and you do not need to be a developer to be a Seller Partner.

You need a Tally.NET ID to log in, and a valid TallyPrime Developer (TPD) serial number with an active Tally Software Services (TSS) subscription. The serial number is mandatory on the interest form.

Log in to Tally Track → Click on the Marketplace Banner → Submit interest. The Partner Registration document explains this in detail.

The Tally team reviews your request. Once it is approved, you receive an approval mail and get upload access on the Developer Portal.

No. Your existing solutions will be automatically migrated to Tally Marketplace. Until then, your current listings on TallyShop will remain active and unchanged.

Yes. Migrated solutions keep their existing TCP files and can still be updated.

Yes. All new solutions must be built in the Inscribed V2 format, even if your migrated solutions use the regular format.

All TallyShop add-ons will be migrated when the Developer Portal launches. TallyShop will keep working until Tally Marketplace is launched. If you make changes to your add-ons on TallyShop during this period, you will need to make the same changes separately on the Developer Portal.

Everything will continue to work as it does today.

Yes. A valid TPD license is required to create a TCP file.

For Name, enter the same title as your listing on Tally Marketplace. For Author, enter your registered company name, kept the same across all your solutions. For Version, use Major.Minor.Patch, matching your file names and the version on your listing.

Describe what the solution does in 3 to 6 words, within 50 characters, in Title Case. Do not start the name with “Tally”, and do not add version numbers, superlatives or price claims. The Naming Guidelines document has examples.

Follow the pattern PublisherInitialsSolutionNameFileTypeVersion.extension, using only letters and numbers. For example, TKSafetyPolicyTrackerv120.tcp.

Start at 1.0.0. Increase the Major number for a redesign or a change that breaks compatibility, the Minor number for a new feature, and the Patch number for a bug fix.

No. Every change, even a one-line fix, needs a new version number that is higher than the last upload.

The TCP file, User Manual and Logo are mandatory. Supporting files, a presentation, screenshots and a developer manual are optional but recommended.

After you upload the TCP file and click Validate, the GUID and Version are read from the file, filled in automatically and locked.

No. There are no platform price restrictions. Price your solution based on its value.

Yes. Currently, you can change the price 24 hours after your solution is published. This may change in the future, so keep an eye on the help documents for the latest updates.

The baseline commercials are 45% for the developer and 35% for the Seller Partner. However, keep an eye on the different campaigns and drives from Tally for the latest applicable commercials.

Yes. You can enter the price separately in INR and USD.

Customers search Tally Marketplace for what they need and browse by category and industry. A clear title, the right keywords, complete descriptions and good highlights all help your solution show up and stand out.

Keywords help your solution appear when customers search for a specific need. In the Keywords field on the upload page, add words separated by commas that customers are likely to search for, such as the feature, report or industry your solution serves. Use keywords instead of packing search terms into your title.

Highlights give customers a quick view of why they should use your solution. Keep each one short and focused on a benefit. The Sample Listing Content document shows five example highlights.

Choose the correct Category, Solution Type and Industry. Add screenshots that show how the solution looks and works inside TallyPrime. Add a short demo video. Write a Short Description and Full Description that explain what the solution does and who it is for.

Most customers move to the latest TallyPrime release. Solutions that support it are easier for customers to discover and use. When a new release comes out, test your solution on it, update the supported TallyPrime Release range and publish an update if needed.
