Creating App

Creating an app is an important step to automate a workflow that connects your app with the Eshopbox platform.

Before you start

• You should have an Eshopbox partner account.

• You should know the type of app you will build, this will depend on its intended audience.

• You should understand the authentication and authorization mechanism to keep redirect URLs handy for whitelisting.

How it works

1. Go to App> Create App

2. You will be directed to Create App page

3. Fill in the following details about your app:

   1. Name: Add your app’s real name, without any additional description, adjectives, or tagline. Use the same capitalization and spacing as your app uses in its branding and website.

   2. Description: Include a description of your app’s core features and use-cases.

   3. Logo: Upload your app’s logo. Make sure your logo is a square, transparent PNG file with dimensions of at least 256x256px (use a larger image if available, but do not exceed 2048x2048px).

   4. Intended Audience: Private and public apps have the same integration capabilities. The only difference is:

      1. Private: The private app will only be used by yourself and anyone you share an invite link with. It will not be visible to anyone else.

      2. Public: A public app will be available to everyone.

   5. Category: Choose the category that fits your app best. Always select the most appropriate, specific category for the features your app supports today. If your app covers multiple categories choose the category that fits your app’s primary use-case.

   6. Whitelisted redirection URL(s):  The URL to which a user is redirected after authorizing the client. You can multiple URLs. Also, you can add or remove it later.

As soon as you fill the above details, your App gets created. You can now use the clientId and clientSecret key to configure the app. Please note that you should not share client id and client secret with anyone. You should regenerate the client secret key frequently for security purposes.

In case you had selected your intended audience was public, the listing status of the App will be “Draft”.

Next Steps

• Configure your app and test it on a development workspace.
