Thank you for your decision to build an app for Ecwid!
Follow the steps listed below to convert your app idea into a working solution available to more than 100M users around the world.
Send a telling us about the app you want to create: how it will help our merchants, what regions it should work in, does it work on other e-commerce platforms, etc.
Public apps can have different business logic or none at all. Depending on what backend and/or website admin you have, we offer two main approaches to handling your users known as application types.
