bCommerce Partner Program

Making bCommerce apps

bCommerce's APIs provide an almost unlimited set of possibilities for interfacing the bCommerce platform with third-party software.

There are two ways you can make money building apps for bCommerce stores:

  • Create a custom app for a client: Use the bCommerce API to build and sell an app that adds features and functionality to a client's bCommerce store.
  • Build a public app and sell it in the bCommerce App Store.
