Get started
What an app is, what you need, and where to go next.
What an app is
An app is a web service you host, anywhere that serves HTTPS, plus a manifest that says what it may reach. Storeware calls it with signed webhooks, frames its pages in the admin, and gives it an API token for each shop that installs it. Nothing runs on Storeware's servers but Storeware.
Merchants find apps in the App Store inside their admin, see exactly what an app may reach before they install it, and approve any charge before anything is owed.
What you need
- A Storeware organisation with a developer profile. Open Developer in the admin at app.storeware.ai/developer, fill in your profile, confirm your contact email and accept the Developer Terms.
- Node 20 or later.
Where to go next
Build your first app
Five commands from an empty folder to an app inside a shop.
Development stores
Free shops to build against, which never open and take test payments only.
Test payments
Pay for orders on a development store, and choose how each payment ends.
The manifest
Every key in storeware.app.toml.
Webhooks
How every call from Storeware to your app is signed.
