The Marketplace is a central repository for manufacturing sector applications (zApps), allowing users to search, purchase, and license applications. It provides a collaborative system for users to make requests, rate, and review zApps. Developers can access licenses for testing their own products. The backend offers content management, metadata organization, license management, and affiliate marketing.

1. User-friendly interface and payment system for easy exploration, purchasing, and licensing of zApps.
2. Ability to rate, review, and request new zApps, promoting user engagement and solution development.
3. Visibility of purchased licenses and tracking of application usage for users.
4. Efficient payment procedure with a shopping cart system, collecting user data and notifying the License Manager upon successful license acquisition.
5. License Manager facilitates the creation, update, and management of zApps and licenses, including pricing.
6. Support for license subscriptions as single one-time purchases, with notifications for updates.
7. Ability to create affiliate links and track sales on a per product and per user basis.
