A new VIP Marketplace customer is created with the submission of a new order. Please see the process document below:

Process: Creating a New Customer in the Adobe VIP Marketplace

Customers will continue to have the ability to change the primary admin themselves in their end user console. If the primary admin is no longer at the customer’s organization, the reseller should place a request to change the primary admin to cloudmarketplace@dss-edu.com.

VIP MP as of 10/15

If you have accepted the Terms & Conditions and have an active reseller account in the new VIP Marketplace, set up new VIP customers in Marketplace.

No. LWS will not display VIP Marketplace Customer IDs or VIP Marketplace orders. Purchase history on legacy VIP contracts will still be available.

Yes, Education Specialization is still required.

VIP Marketplace requires two separate accounts set up for VIP one for US and one for Canada. Contracts assigned to the current US account will stay under the US account and contracts assigned to the CAN account stay under the CAN account.

There are not currently plans to integrate these systems.

If the customer has an incorrect education market segment they will potentially not be able to purchase certain products that should be available to them.

For example: A K12 School set up as a “nonprofit” would not be able to purchase K12 offerings until their market subsegment is correctly adjusted to match the customer’s market segment to segment specific product offerings.
