Creating a Marketplace Profile

If you are a service provider, create a Marketplace profile to let customers find you and connect to your services.

To create a Marketplace profile

1. From the Megaport Portal, choose Company > Megaport Marketplace Profile.
   

2. Provide the following detail:

   • Company Logo - Upload an image to display on the tile on the Marketplace. The recommended image size is 200px by 200px and in PNG (best) or JPG format.

   • Profile Visibility - Select Public or Private. When public, your profile is visible on the Marketplace. When private, your profile is hidden on the Marketplace - select private when editing or pending final completion of the profile.

   • Company Bio - This is a free text field where you can enter company biographical information. There is a 200 word limit.
