Get started with app creation ​

Genstore ecosystem apps are the platform’s core expansion mechanism, enabling developers to build custom solutions that enhance merchant operations and maximize business value. This guide will help you quickly develop and deploy apps. We collaborate with developers worldwide to build a dynamic, long-term open ecosystem, offering merchants enhanced service quality and shopping experiences while providing developers with policy guidance, technical tools, and process support.

App ecosystem ​

Most Genstore apps are built by third-party developers, with some developed in-house. Developers can use Genstore’s open API and tools to create new features or seamlessly integrate external services, improving efficiency. For more details, see What is the Genstore app.

Getting ready ​

Before development, review the Genstore app integration guide.

Step 1: Create an app ​

  1. Log in to the Genstore Partner portal.
  2. In the left navigation menu, go to App and click Create App.
  3. Enter an App name for internal use (the marketplace name can be set when you submit app listing request.

Step 2: Configure basic information ​

Once created, the app appears in your app list. Click the app name to open its Overview page for details.

In App configuration, configure essential details such as the app name, URL, launch method, webhook settings, navigation, contact info, and display images. For details, see App configuration.

Step 3: Develop and test the app ​

After setting up basic information, proceed with development and testing. Before testing, ensure the app meets merchant needs and functions properly.

  1. Open the Overview page.
  2. In Test app, link a test store. If no live store is available, use a Genstore development store.
  3. Install and debug the app, ensuring stable performance.

Step 4: Submit and publish the app ​

Once testing is complete, submit your app for listing and configure marketplace details. Genstore currently supports public publishing, allowing all stores to find and install the app without restrictions. For details, see App publishing.

By following these steps, you can successfully create and launch a Genstore app, providing merchants with valuable solutions. If you have any questions, contact the Developer Support Team. Let’s drive e-commerce innovation together!
