Ask HN: Can't a developer publish add-on for Outlook in Microsoft Marketplace?

5 points by bprasanna 26 days ago | 1 comment

After a day's effort i have developed a outlook add-in. when i went into Microsoft Partner Center i didn't find an option for `Microsoft Marketplace offers` which is supposed to be the place to publish office add-ins. Then when i went through the documentation, i realized only companies can publish add-ins to Microsoft 365 apps! Is that the case? Any workaround for this? I actually went to Stackoverflow and searched, but couldn't find any info on this. ChatGPT or Claude referred the documentation and summarized what was there in the document. Any help on this will help me decide whether to develop the add-on further or stop at this point.

Yes, you need to be a company and potentially have done some learning tracks (the latter is something that has changed back and forth over the years).
