# Marketplace listing ## About our Marketplace The [**UpPromote Marketplace**](https://marketplace.uppromote.com/?utm_campaign=document) is a centralized platform that connects merchants with a network of affiliates. It allows merchants to list their affiliate offers, making them visible to a wide pool of potential partners who can discover and apply directly within the UpPromote system. #### đź’ˇ Why List Your Offer? By listing your offer on the Marketplace, you can: * **Gain more visibility** for your brand and affiliate program * **Attract qualified affiliates** actively searching for offers * **Simplify recruitment** without needing to reach out to affiliates manually #### đź’ˇ How It Works * You list one offer via the **Marketplace listing** page in the UpPromote app. * Affiliates can freely browse available offers on the Marketplace and apply to the ones they find relevant. * You review and approve the applicants who best match your goals. ## How to list your offer Follow the steps below to publish your offer and make it visible to affiliates on the UpPromote Marketplace: ### Step 1: Go to the Marketplace listing page From your UpPromote dashboard, navigate to **Outreach** > **Marketplace listing**, then click **Edit offer**. ### Step 2: Choose an affiliate program Select the **affiliate program** you want to connect to your Marketplace offer.
