Overview
Understanding Shoplazza Apps
Unlike traditional mobile apps that require separate installation packages, Shoplazza apps operate as a set of cloud-based services available directly on the Shoplazza platform. These services seamlessly integrate with Shoplazza's core functionalities through the Shoplazza Open API, enhancing the platform's ability to meet diverse merchant needs. Apps play a critical role in expanding the functionalities of Shoplazza's standalone stores.
Merchants interact with these apps by installing them into their stores. Installing an app is the exclusive way for merchants to access and authorize app features, ensuring secure and controlled integration.
