# Alibaba Marketplace

Alibaba Cloud Marketplace is the one channel here that covers both the **China (domestic)** and **international** markets from the same integration — the Region ID you enter decides which Alibaba Cloud endpoint Suger talks to. It also inverts the usual direction of work. On the other marketplaces you build a listing in Suger and Suger publishes it; on Alibaba Cloud you publish the product on the marketplace and Suger imports it, then takes over the transactional side: entitlement lifecycle, renewal notifications, and usage reporting.

Because purchases are completed on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace itself, there are no buyer-specific private offers, no channel partner offers, and no offer-acceptance step. Each product carries a single default offer that mirrors its public marketplace pricing. The integration is organization-wide only, and connects with your Alibaba Cloud account ID, an access key pair, and an SPI key.

## Connect and bring your catalog in

1. **[Integration](/alibaba-marketplace/integration/)** — the four credentials to gather, how the Region ID selects the domestic or international endpoint, and the signed auth-free redirect that logs a buyer into your backend straight from the Alibaba Console.
2. **[List Product](/alibaba-marketplace/list-product/)** — how the periodic sync imports products you have published, including SKUs and plan details, and how to scope the sync to specific product codes.
3. **[Pricing & Offers](/alibaba-marketplace/pricing-and-offers/)** — where a product's dimensions and commit options come from, and what the single default offer per product does and does not let you do.

## Keep subscriptions and usage in sync

- **[Entitlements](/alibaba-marketplace/entitlements/)** — the marketplace events that create, extend, upgrade, suspend, and cancel a subscription, plus auto-cancellation of suspended entitlements and advance expiry alerts.
- **[Usage Metering](/alibaba-marketplace/usage-metering/)** — the four Alibaba metering key types, and the hourly window your usage has to land in to be billed.

## Scope and limits

:::info
Alibaba Cloud Marketplace connects at the **organization level** only — there is no user-level integration.

Suger does not create or publish Alibaba listings. Publish the product on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace and Suger imports it on the next sync.

Private offers, channel partner offers (CPPO), and offer acceptance are not part of this integration; buyers purchase the public listing directly on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace.

This section has no separate revenue guide. Usage reporting can be paused per integration with the **Usage Metering Disabled** setting.
