Shoptet Addons are custom extensions that developers can create to enhance the functionality of Shoptet e-shops. Addons can be used to customize the look and feel of a store, add new features, or integrate with third-party services. Shoptet Addons are monetized through the Shoptet Addon Marketplace, where developers can submit their addons for sale or distribution.
All addon offers need to be send to us via this form:
We evaluate all new addon offers regularly and aim to provide initial feedback within 4 weeks of submission – together with other colleagues, we assess whether the addon fits into our product roadmap, marketplace strategy, etc.
After your addon offer is evaluated, our Addons Account Manager will contact you with the result (approved/denied/backlog).
Shoptet supports various types of addons to extend the functionality of the platform:
Once your addon is approved by us, our Addons Account Manager will contact you regarding our further cooperation. In order to start with the addon development, you must first become Shoptet API partner, which is subject to a contract and acceptance of our Terms and Conditions.
After signing the contract, we will provide you with free test e-shop, API access and API Partner admin section for managing your addons. Our Addons Project Manager will be available to you for consultation throughout the whole development of the addon.
After signing the API Partner contract, we will provide you with free test e-shop and special API Partner admin section with API access details, where you can create and manage your addons.
Shoptet doesn’t provide a dedicated development environment for addons. You can start developing your addon locally and on your test Shoptet store using our developer tools.
You can use the Shoptet Addon Boilerplate for visual part of the addon or our Postman collection for API.
For more information about the addon development, see our documentation.
When developing the addon, it is important to follow our API best practices to ensure the proper use of both your and our resources. This helps avoid overloading the API and ensures a smooth final review of the addon on our side (we always check the API activity of the addon).
Also, if your addon inserts any custom codes to the front-end, please use our Addons Repository.
Based on our T&C, your addon should be submitted for our final approval within 6 months of signing the contract.
An individual extension of the deadline is possible only with the approval of the Addons Account Manager, taking into account the impact of the addon on users.
If you need a consultation or you have questions regarding the addon development, that cannot be found in our documentation, please send an e-mail to api@shoptet.cz. Our Addons Project Manager will get back to you and help you.
When your addon development is completed and fully tested by you, please submit the addon for final approval to us by clicking on “Submit to approval” button in the administration of your addon. Also, send us all necessary information mentioned below in “Addon review process” to api@shoptet.cz.
Every addon must pass a final review on our side. This final review consists of basic user tests, check of API activity and custom codes on front-end.
When submitting the addon for approval, send us all the necessary information and documents as described below in “Review process requirements”. Our Addons Project Manager will get back to you with final feedback and next steps.
After submitting the addon for our final review with all necessary information mentioned below, we aim to provide initial feedback within 4 weeks of submission.
Before you submit the addon for final review, you must do a proper final testing on your side first to make sure the addon works properly, is in compliance with our guidelines and is production-ready for users. Once you’ve thoroughly tested your app, you can proceed with submitting it for our final review.
Be aware, addon that is incomplete or contains major issues (e.g. the installation is not working) will not be reviewed by us.
To ensure a smooth final review on our side, you will be instructed by our Addons Project Manager to fill out the Final Review Checklist first. The checklist includes all important information needed for the final review, such as step-by-step instructions an test plan, information about requested API endpoints and inserted codes on front-end. You can preview the checklist here (but please fill out only the one that will be sent to you directly for your addon).
Once your addon’s review process is complete, you’ll resume discussions with your Addons Account Manager about the launch process. Together, you’ll go over all the necessary steps for successfully releasing your addon to the Shoptet Addon Marketplace.
You can find a complete list of these steps in the Starter’s Guide linked here.
Addon users can review your addon after the installation. The addon can be reviewed by 1-5 star score and the user can add the comment review as well. All reviews are displayed for full transparency on Shoptet Addon Marketplace.
You can check and manage all your addon review in API Partner section on your testing e-shop. We highly recommend to respond to all reviews and contact those users who need your support or left the negative feedback.
Addon reviews are approved internally at least once a week, which is why they are not displayed in real time.
We also recommend to encourage the users to give you a review. The reviews increase the addon credibility and can lead to higher number of installations.
