MarketHub Overview
The BizFirstGO marketplace — a three-app platform for discovering, publishing, and governing packages across the entire BizFirstGO ecosystem.
What is MarketHub?
MarketHub is the central marketplace for BizFirstGO packages. It connects publishers who build automation artifacts with the organizations and developers who want to use them. MarketHub handles discovery, reputation, certification, and community — while its sister system InstallHub handles the technical import pipeline.
Every package listed on MarketHub began life as an artifact in the BizFirstGO ecosystem: a Flow Studio process, an Atlas Form, an App Studio application, or a node library. Publishers export these artifacts through InstallHub and then list them on MarketHub for the world to discover.
MarketHub = discovery, reputation, community, and governance. InstallHub = the technical export/import pipeline. They are separate systems that work together: MarketHub's "Install" button launches the InstallHub import flow.
Three Applications
Admin Portal
Governance and management. Admins review submitted packages, moderate reviews, configure marketplace rules, run analytics, manage the audit log, and operate the rewards system.
Publisher Workspace
Where package authors live. Publishers manage their packages (draft to published), track installs and earnings, pursue certifications, manage API keys, and engage with their user community.
Public Discovery
Open to everyone. Users search and browse packages, read reviews, evaluate publishers, and install packages into their BizFirstGO tenant — all from a single discovery interface.
Package Trust Levels
Every package on MarketHub carries a trust level badge, displayed prominently on package cards and detail pages. Trust level is the first quality signal users see.
| Trust Level | Who Grants It | How It Is Earned | Search Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official | BizFirstGO team | Reserved for BizFirstGO-authored and partner packages only | Highest |
| Certified | Admin review | Human review + documentation + 80% test coverage + clean security scan | High |
| Community | Automated | Automatic on publish — passes security scan, manifest complete | Standard |
Publisher Reputation at a Glance
MarketHub uses a points-based reputation system that rewards publishers for real marketplace impact: installs, positive reviews, earned certifications, and community participation. Reputation accumulates into one of four tiers.
| Tier | Points Required | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 0 – 999 | Standard marketplace listing |
| Silver | 1,000 – 4,999 | Priority support queue |
| Gold | 5,000 – 19,999 | Featured placement eligibility |
| Platinum | 20,000+ | Priority search ranking boost |
Once a publisher reaches a tier threshold, they stay at that tier. Reputation decay (older installs and reviews weigh less) affects point totals but never causes a tier demotion.
Package Types
Flow Studio
Workflow processes and templates — automation sequences ready to import and run or customize.
Atlas Forms
Pre-built form definitions with validation, layout, and data-binding — import and embed immediately.
App Studio
Full application packages — UI layouts, widgets, navigation, and action systems bundled together.
Node Libraries
Custom execution node collections extending the Flow Studio node palette for specialized automation.
Phase Status
MarketHub development follows a phased roadmap. Phase 2 (V3 prototypes) is complete, delivering 21 production-grade HTML prototypes across all three applications.
| Phase | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Core listing and search (V1 prototypes) | Complete |
| Phase 2 | 21 V3 production prototypes — all three apps | Complete |
| Phase 3 | React implementation — 14+ modules | Planned |
