Apps Overview

Apps are software integrations that extend the functionality of an online store by adding new features or enhancing existing ones.

By building an embedded app, you can integrate your application easily with the YouCan Seller Area. This allows merchants to access new functionalities within the same interface.

Embedded apps can pull data from YouCan stores using the store admin API, enabling a wide range of features.

Benefits of Using Embedded Apps

  • Enable merchants to manage their store and new features in one place.
  • Easily access and utilize data directly from the YouCan store.
  • Customize features specifically for YouCan merchants, aligning with their unique business needs.
  • Provide a smoother, more integrated experience for both merchants and their customers.

Tip

YouCan apps are built on a set of tools to create a great merchant experience.

  • OAuth: Handles installing the app and granting permissions
  • StoreAdmin API: Offers resources to interact with the merchant store.
  • Webhooks: Notifications sent by YouCan when certain events occur.
  • Qantra: Provides access to data and UI rendering.
  • YouCan UI: Library offering a set of Vue.js components and styles
