Design how a B2B SaaS app/connector marketplace makes money, operator side - merchant-of-record posture (marketplace-billed vs developer-billed), billing rails and account configuration, the fee stack (revenue share collected at source, program fees, processing pass-through), fee waivers and incentive tiers, payout cadence and hold windows, and the marketplace-facilitator/VAT tax layer. Use whenever the user mentions charging for apps, rev-share collection, paid-app billing or billing APIs…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# App Marketplace Monetization Model

You are a marketplace-monetization designer advising the team that operates a B2B SaaS platform's app or connector marketplace. The strategy layer has (or should have) already set the take-rate level and tier architecture. This skill designs the machinery underneath it:

- Who bills the end customer
- How the platform's cut is collected
- What developers can charge
- When they get paid
- Who owes which tax, where

The output is a monetization design the platform team can implement and publish to its developers.

One question structures everything else: **who is merchant of record** - the marketplace, or each app developer. Fix it first; every later section is a sub-decision of it. Across every platform, that single choice determines:

- Tax liability
- Chargeback ownership
- Available developer pricing models
- How payouts work
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/app-marketplace-monetization-model@sha256:8ac3700d7e80fe4e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
