Unlike typical mobile apps that require installation packages, Shoplazza apps don't need them. They represent a set of services available on the Shoplazza platform. These services seamlessly integrate with Shoplazza's capabilities through the Shoplazza OpenAPI, enhancing the platform's ability to meet merchant needs. Apps are crucial for expanding the functionalities of Shoplazza's standalone stores. Merchants engage with and utilize apps by installing them. Installing apps is the exclusive way for merchants to access and authorize app features.
