Apps (Previously Extensions)

Apps are a powerful way to customise and extend FaxStore. Designed primarily for backend functionality, themes, and any add-on functionalities, apps allow developers to enhance core features, introduce new capabilities, and tailor FaxStore to specific project requirements.

Weblutions provides and maintains official apps for FaxStore. At the same time, independent developers are welcome to build, distribute, and sell their own apps, we encourage innovation within the ecosystem.

Developer Responsibility & Terms

When developing apps, you must follow responsible development practices to ensure the safety and security of merchants stores. These terms apply when distributing a FaxStore app or theme.

Short Terms for App Developers:

• Data Handling – Apps must not collect, transmit, or store FaxStore data outside of the FaxStore installation (files and database) unless explicitly and clearly identified.

• External Storage Exceptions – External data storage requires prior approval and must be clearly disclosed.

• Security First – Apps must not compromise system security, data integrity, or user privacy.

• Transparency – Developers offering paid or free apps must clearly document functionality and data usage.

• Compliance Scope – These terms apply to all publicly distributed apps, including commercial and freeware offerings.

Failure to comply may result in app removal or restriction from distribution within the FaxStore ecosystem.
