Setting Up

All apps (extensions) are registered in the Developers Center. If you don’t have an account in Mergado, you will be redirected to Accounts where you can create one. A new account is free – please, don’t be discouraged if you are asked to select a billing period, no payment will be required, i.e. the option is for users who decide to use Mergado for product data management in their eshop.

In the Developers Center, you must first confirm that you want to develop new applications for Mergado (if you haven’t done that yet). After this step you should be able to register new apps by clicking on a button with a plus sign (+).

Registering a new app (extension)

Before you register a new app (extension), you need to figure out a name, a type of the app and other information:

• name – name of the app
• type – type of the app, each type is explained in the Basics
• color – a color of the app, it helps users with faster navigation, they will see the color in widgets and also in the apps’ navigation bar
• trial period – trial period, if you don’t know, we recommend 10 days
• oauth2 scopes – list of oauth2 scopes which the app is authorized to use
• countries – countries to make the app available in

You won’t be able to change the name and type after the registration of the app. However, other information like color or trial period can be changed anytime, so you don’t need to worry about that at this point and can decide later in the development process.
