Vtiger Marketplace - Extension Store for Users and Showcase for Developers

[ashammi228]

In about six weeks, Vtiger CRM On Demand users will be able to customize their Vtiger instances with a growing range of new extensions for Vtiger. That's when the Vtiger CRM Marketplace , which launched for open source users in September, goes live for on-demand users. The marketplace offers a variety of extensions developed by third-party developers that were previously only available to Vtiger open source users.

For CRM administrators and users, the new Marketplace creates access to a large and growing selection of extensions for Vtiger. This means that CRMs previously limited to the existing selection of modules in Vtiger gain access to a range of new features. Additionally, when a desired feature or extension for Vtiger does not yet exist, users only need to ask a third-party developer to create an extension and list it on the Vtiger Marketplace.

All marketplace extensions are carefully reviewed by the Vtiger taiwanese number team to ensure high quality. Once on the marketplace, they are also eligible for review by other extension users, ensuring that CRM users have access to unbiased opinions on an extension before making a purchase decision. CRM administrators can find the extension repository in the lower left corner of the CRM settings page.

While the extension marketplace benefits users on one hand, it also serves as a platform for community developers to provide their apps and extensions to Vtiger CRM users, find customers, and automatically bill for extensions. Since extensions can be installed seamlessly with a single click, developers can focus and spend their time and energy on the extensions they plan to build, rather than identifying vulnerabilities, billing, and providing installation support. To begin with, developers only need access to the Vtiger marketplace through a dedicated publisher portal.

Overall, the Vtiger Marketplace solves a number of long-standing problems for both users and developers. With access to the Vtiger Marketplace, users and administrators will have a better experience with Vtiger CRM, and community developers will have a highly visible platform to reach their customers and eliminate many of the pain points of running a software development business.
