Platform and Roles

TD Cloud is a self-hosted marketplace and anonymous transaction platform. A regular user can manage an account, hold TDC, top up, browse products, and create orders. Merchant and developer capabilities are enabled through invitation and review.

Account roles

Role	Main capabilities	How it is granted
User	Account, wallet, top-up, marketplace, and orders	Granted on registration
Merchant	Store profile, products, orders, and platform-channel settlement	Receive an invitation, submit an application, and pass review
Developer	OAuth client, user authorization, and OpenAPI	Receive an invitation, submit an application, and pass review

An account may hold multiple roles. Administrative privileges do not automatically make an account a merchant or developer.

Why an entry point is missing

Merchant Center and Developer Center are permission-driven routes:

No application entry is shown before an invitation.
After an invitation, the application entry appears in the profile menu.
The entry remains available after submission so the user can track review progress.
After approval, the application entry disappears and the corresponding center appears in the sidebar.
A rejected application can display the reason and be edited and resubmitted.

Sign in again or refresh after a permission change. If the route is still missing, contact platform support to verify the account status.

Current boundaries

Each account may own at most one OAuth client.
Transaction scopes must bind to the same account’s active merchant.
Merchant onboarding uses a simple platform review.
