Filters can be adjusted based on category, rating, language, and more. The Seller Central Partner Network also offers a discovery section that lists trending applications and services as well as suggested apps or services curated specifically for the seller.

Once the seller has identified the app or service needed, they can review the provider details page for pricing and contact information.

Once submitted, the service provider will contact the seller for the next steps in completing the service.
