# Get started with Shoplazza Apps

> The three-step path from zero to a listed Shoplazza App: create the app, add core capabilities and extensions, then launch — with links into each guide.

# Getting started

Shoplazza apps can extend the admin panel, online store, checkout flow, and backend services. Below is organized along a "developer journey"—you can follow the 3 main steps, or jump directly to any capability.

## The 3-Step Path from Zero to Listing

## 1. Getting started

Register a partner account, create an app, choose the app type, and start local development with the Shoplazza CLI.

## 2. Core Capabilities

Jump to whichever you need. If you're building your first app, do **Authentication** first — every REST API and Webhook call depends on having an Access Token.

## 3. Extension Development

Embed app capabilities into store touchpoints such as themes and checkout—see each extension's dedicated section for details.

## 4. Launch

Test, submit for review, list, and operate.
