**What is the need for extensions store?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
App-Stores in mobile phones and recent desktop OSs have made installing apps as easy as a 1
|
|
|
|
click action.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In comparison, the process to install an extension in Vtiger CRM is unwieldy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**1.** There was no place within product to browse and install extensions. Users had to search on the web and find extensions listed on different sites.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**2.** For purchasing paid extensions, users had to do it directly from the individual
|
|
|
|
websites of the publishers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**3.** The process of downloading the zip file and installing the extension is error-prone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extensions Store is designed to bring the simplicity of mobile app-stores to Vtiger users.

**How do i publish an extension to be listed on Store?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Developers can signup and publish extensions from publisher portal [(https://marketplace.vtiger.com)](https://marketplace.vtiger.com/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**How are payments handled?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Administrators should add payment method (major credit cards are accepted) in order to
|
|
|
|
install commercial extensions. Vtiger relays the credit card details to Stripe.com and
|
|
|
|
retains the customer id only ( Vtiger only stores the last 4 digits, expiry month & year of
|
|
|
|
the card for reference).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stripe is a reputed payment processor and confirms to Credit card industry privacy and
|
|
|
|
security guidelines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**What are the fees for listing on the Extensions store?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is no listing fee. You decide the price of your extension. You get 75% of the
|
|
|
|
revenue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**How will the money be transferred to developer?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are able to pay via paypal or through direct wire transfer (wiring fees will be
|
|
|
|
deducted). The payment will be made monthly, within 15th of subsequent month.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Will Vtiger deduct Taxes?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We don’t anticipate the need to collect taxes on top of the extension fee, or withhold tax
|
|
|
|
before sending payment to developer. If any taxes are applicable, it will be the
|
|
|
|
responsibility of the developer to pay taxes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Can I see who installed my extensions?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. Name of the purchased user will be listed on the Publishers portal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Can I push updates to my extensions?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. You can publish the updates via the publishers portal, and users will be alerted to
|
|
|
|
the presence of an updated version of the extension. |
