ALSO Cloud Marketplace

About​

ALSO Cloud Marketplace is ALSO's cloud services platform (CCPaaS) for managing subscriptions, customers, and orders. The ZaveIT integration connects to your ALSO account through the SimpleAPI, letting you manage your ALSO business directly from the ZaveIT Platform.

Capabilities​

The ALSO Cloud Marketplace integration provides the following capabilities:

  • Sync Customers - Bi-directional synchronization keeps customer accounts consistent between ZaveIT and ALSO. Import existing ALSO customers or export new ones from ZaveIT.
  • Import Products - Pull the ALSO product catalog into ZaveIT, including subscription products with pricing, vendor information, and billing terms.
  • Create Orders - Submit subscription orders to ALSO directly from ZaveIT. Orders are placed through ALSO's subscription management API.
  • Credential Validation - Test your API credentials during setup to verify the connection before saving.

Getting Started​

Step 1: Gather Your API Credentials​

You need the following from your ALSO Cloud Marketplace account:

  • Your ALSO API username (email address).
  • Your ALSO API password.
  • Your Marketplace ID - a numeric identifier for your ALSO marketplace.
Finding your Marketplace ID

Your Marketplace ID can be obtained from your ALSO account representative, or discovered programmatically using the ALSO GetMarketplaces API call. It is a numeric value (for example, 30878).

Step 2: Configure in ZaveIT​

  1. In the ZaveIT Platform, navigate to Settings → Integrations.
  2. Find ALSO Cloud Marketplace and click Configure.
  3. Enter your Username, Password, and Marketplace ID.
  4. Click Save.

The integration validates your credentials on save. If the connection is successful, the integration status changes to active.

Considerations​

  • Sandbox vs. production - ALSO provides a separate test environment (marketplacetest.ccpaas.net). The ZaveIT integration automatically connects to the correct environment based on your configuration. Contact your ALSO account representative for sandbox access.
  • Country format - ALSO uses full country names (e.g. "Norway") instead of ISO codes in some API responses. The integration handles this conversion automatically.
  • API response format - ALSO's API may return error responses in XML format even when sending JSON requests. The integration handles both formats transparently.
  • Order creation - Orders in ALSO are managed through their subscription management API. The integration handles the full lifecycle: creating new subscriptions, updating quantities, and managing billing terms.
