YouCan Apps

Apps extend the functionality of YouCan sellers' stores — adding new features, surfacing data, and providing tools that help sellers manage and grow their business.

Apps run as embedded applications inside the YouCan Seller Area, loaded in an iframe and integrated directly into the dashboard. They interact with sellers' stores using the Store Admin API, and communicate with the Seller Area through Qantra.

What you can build

• Order management dashboards
• Analytics and reporting tools
• Inventory or shipping integrations
• Marketing automation
• Any custom workflow for sellers

Key building blocks

Tool	Purpose
Store Admin API	Read and write store data (orders, products, customers, etc.)

Webhooks	Receive real-time events from YouCan (new orders, installs, etc.)
Qantra	Communicate with the Seller Area (navigation, toasts, resource picker)
YouCan UI	Vue component library matching the Seller Area design system
