Cloud/Connectors/Monetize
Monetize
Turn your connector into a paid product: connect Stripe, publish the listing, and manage its lifecycle through review, approval, pause and resume on the Marketplace.
Monetize is the last tab of the connector, and the one that turns it from something you use into something you sell. The subtitle: "Manage your marketplace listing, pricing, and subscribers." The tab only exists for connectors you own, and only once seller onboarding is complete, the path there is the Seller Account.
Monetization
Monetize your server
List your connector on the Marketplace and earn revenue from subscribers.
Connect Stripe and turn your connector into a paid product. Anyone can discover and subscribe directly from the Marketplace. No Vinkius plan required. You set the price, we handle hosting, billing, and worldwide delivery.
Sell. Distribute. Get paid.
The mockup runs the real lifecycle: connect Stripe, submit the listing for review and watch the Under Review banner take over.
The pitch, before anything
Unconnected, the tab is the offer, headed MONETIZATION and "Monetize your server": "List your connector on the Marketplace and earn revenue from subscribers." The pitch spells the deal: "Connect Stripe and turn your connector into a paid product. Anyone can discover and subscribe directly from the Marketplace. No Vinkius plan required. You set the price, we handle hosting, billing, and worldwide delivery." The headlines say it in six words: Sell. Distribute. Get paid. Two actions sit under it: Connect Stripe and Set up seller account.
The listing workspace
Connected, the tab becomes a workspace with four sub-tabs: Dashboard, "Monitor your listing performance, subscribers, and earnings"; Listing, the details buyers see; Prompts, "Manage prompt examples for your listing"; and FAQ, "Manage frequently asked questions for your listing." A Listing Status block tracks where the listing stands, and until it is published the dashboard states plainly: "Create and publish your listing to see stats here."
The review lifecycle
Publishing is gated by review, and the banner changes with each state: Under Review, "Your listing is being reviewed by our team. You'll be notified once it's approved"; Rejected, with "Contact support if you believe this is an error"; and once live, Pause Listing, which opens a dialog that says exactly what pausing means: the listing hides from the Marketplace, new subscribers cannot find it, existing subscribers keep access until their billing cycle ends, and you can resume at any time. Resume Listing brings it back.
Why this tab exists
This is the marketplace economy of Vinkius in one tab: your connector becomes a product with a price, Vinkius handles hosting, billing and worldwide delivery, and the four sub-tabs plus the lifecycle banners give you the same control a storefront owner expects, from first submission to pause and back.
