SPP Account Unification

Prior to the creation of Solution Provider Portal (SPP), developer accounts were located in one or more portals (Seller Central, Vendor Central, and Developer Central) within multiple regions. SPP provides an all-encompassing portal where developers can create one account to simplify their account management.

📘

Note

SPP is replacing Developer Central. Seller Central and Vendor Central continue to remain active.

Possible merge issues

• Publishing pipeline issues: In the rare case that there are developer apps in the publishing pipeline, a straightforward merge might not be possible due to technical limitations. If this occurs, the system automatically creates a ticket for the respective backend team to assist with completing the merge. Your SPP homepage displays the time estimate for your profile creation.

• Failed merge: If your merge fails, your SPP homepage displays an error message. You have the option to Retry or Contact the Support team. If you contact the Support team, they can help you merge your profiles.

• Failed unification: Unification can fail during the workflow merge process. If this happens, you might notice partial data (missing apps) or partial app features. This doesn't affect the existing applications, authorizations, and listings. If unification fails, you get an Account Migration to Solution Provider Portal Failed to Complete warning message with additional details.
