Enabling Transactable Marketplace Receive Partner Offers Org Preference

This skill configures the enableTransactableMarketplaceReceivePartnerOffers org preference via the TransactableMarketplacePrivateOfferSettings Metadata API type, which controls whether a Salesforce org is eligible to receive partner offers through the Transactable Marketplace. It is required for subscriber orgs that participate in the TM partner offer flow.

Scope

In scope: Reading the current value of the pref, enabling or disabling it via Metadata API (TransactableMarketplacePrivateOfferSettings), and verifying the change took effect.
Out of scope: Creating or managing partner offer records, configuring marketplace listings, or any Apex/trigger changes related to offer processing.

Required Inputs

Target org alias or username: The org where the pref should be set. Ask if not provided.
Desired state: true (enable) or false (disable). Default: true.

Workflow

Phase 1 — Check current state

Query the current preference value by running:

``bash sf data query -q "SELECT Preference, Value FROM OrgPreference WHERE Preference = 'TransactableMarketplaceReceivePartnerOffers'" --target-org <alias> --use-tooling-api ` If the record exists and Value = true, the pref is already enabled — confirm with the user before proceeding. If the query returns no rows, the pref is not yet set (defaults to false`).

Resolve the org's package directory to determine where to write metadata. Run this and use its output as <packageDir>:

``bash jq -r '.packageDirectories[0].path // "force-app/main/default"' sfdx-project.json ``

Phase 2 — Apply the preference

Write the TransactableMarketplacePrivateOfferSettings metadata file — load assets/org-pref-template.md for the exact XML structure, then write the file at:

``text <packageDir>/settings/TransactableMarketplacePrivateOffer.settings ` Set <enableTransactableMarketplaceReceivePartnerOffers>true</enableTransactableMarketplaceReceivePartnerOffers> (or false` if disabling).

Deploy the metadata to the target org. Before running the deploy, confirm with the user:

- [ ] Confirmed the target org alias with the user (deploying to the wrong org is not easily reversible) - [ ] Confirmed the desired state (true/false) matches the user's intent ``bash sf project deploy start --metadata TransactableMarketplacePrivateOfferSettings --target-org <alias> ``

Phase 3 — Verify

Confirm the change by re-running the Tooling API query from step 1 and verifying the Value column matches the desired state.

Report to the user — see Output Expectations below.

Rules / Constraints

Rule	Rationale
Always query the current value before writing metadata	Avoids unnecessary deploys and detects conflicting changes
Use `TransactableMarketplacePrivateOfferSettings` as the metadata type	This is the concrete type registered in the platform for this pref, not the generic `OrgPreferenceSettings`
The settings file must be named `TransactableMarketplacePrivateOffer.settings`	Metadata API requires the filename to match the settings node name
Do not hardcode `force-app/main/default/`	Always read `sfdx-project.json` for the actual package directory
Never deploy without confirming the org alias with the user	Deploying to the wrong org is not easily reversible

Gotchas

Issue	Resolution
Tooling API query returns no rows	Pref is unset (defaults to `false`). Safe to create a new settings file.
Deploy fails with `INVALID_TYPE`	The metadata type name is `TransactableMarketplacePrivateOfferSettings` — check the `--metadata` flag value.
Deploy succeeds but value doesn't change	Another settings file in the project may be overriding this one. Search for other `TransactableMarketplacePrivateOffer.settings` files in the project.
`INSUFFICIENTACCESSOR_READONLY` on deploy	User running the deploy must have the "Modify All Data" or org preference admin permission in the target org.
Pref not visible in UI	`enableTransactableMarketplaceReceivePartnerOffers` is not surfaced in Setup UI — the Tooling API query is the only way to verify it.
Available from API version 67.0+ only	The type is available from API v67.0 — deploying against an older API version will fail.

Output Expectations

After completing all phases, report:

Org: <alias>
Preference: enableTransactableMarketplaceReceivePartnerOffers
Previous value: <true|false|unset>
New value: <true|false>
File written: <packageDir>/settings/TransactableMarketplacePrivateOffer.settings
Deploy status: Success

Reference File Index

File	When to read
`assets/org-pref-template.md`	Phase 2, step 3 — use as the exact XML structure for the settings file
`examples/org-preference-settings.xml`	To verify the generated file matches expected format
