TallyShop Migration Guide
TallyShop is moving to the all-new Tally Marketplace. If you already sell add-ons on TallyShop, you do not need to upload them again. This guide explains what happens to your solutions, what you can change and when, and what you should do during the move.

1. What happens when migration takes place
- Automatic migration: all your TallyShop add-ons are migrated to the Developer Portal when it launches. You do not need to re-upload them.
- Existing customers: everything will continue to work as it does today.
- TallyShop stays live: your solutions remain active on TallyShop until Tally Marketplace is launched.
The Migrated tag
Every migrated solution shows a Migrated tag on the Manage Solutions screen of the Developer Portal. The tag helps you tell your migrated solutions apart from new ones. It stays on the solution permanently.
2. What you can change after migration
Once your solutions are migrated, you can edit everything on the Developer Portal except the TCP file.

You cannot change |

• Name, Short Description, Full Description and Highlights • Logo, screenshots, user manual, presentation and supporting files • Demo video link • Category, Solution Type, Industry and keywords • Compatibility details and the TallyPrime Release range • Pricing |
• TCP file, until Tally Marketplace launches • GUID and Version, as these are read directly from the TCP file |
On Tally Marketplace, you can publish add-ons and modules with no price caps, so review your pricing as part of the move.
3. Changes made on TallyShop during the transition
Important: Between the Developer Portal launch and the Tally Marketplace launch, your solutions remain live on TallyShop and you can still change them from the TallyShop portal. However, these changes will not be migrated to the Developer Portal. If you make any change on TallyShop during this period, make the same change separately on the Developer Portal.
4. When you can change the TCP file
- Until Tally Marketplace launches: the TCP file of a migrated solution cannot be changed on the Developer Portal.
- After Tally Marketplace launches: you can upload a new TCP file for your migrated solutions.
Supported TCP formats
- All TCP formats are supported for migrated solutions. You do not have to change the format of your existing TCP file.
- Optional: if you want, you can recompile your TCP file in the Inscribed V2 The Creating a TCP File guide explains how.
- New solutions that you publish on Tally Marketplace must use the Inscribed V2 format.
Note: The Inscribed V2 format is supported only for customers on TallyPrime Release 7.2 and above. Customers on earlier releases will not be able to use a solution recompiled in Inscribed V2 format.
When you upload a new TCP file for a migrated solution, keep the GUID the same and use a higher version number. The Publisher Guidelines explain the versioning rules.
5. What you should do
- Log in to the Developer Portal and open Manage Solutions to find your solutions with the Migrated
- Review each listing and make sure the descriptions, highlights, screenshots, keywords and pricing are complete and up to date.
- Avoid making changes on TallyShop during the transition. If you must, repeat the same changes on the Developer Portal.
- After Tally Marketplace launches, upload a new TCP file if your solution needs an update.
