Shoptet Addons
Shoptet Addons are a way to extend the functionality of the Shoptet platform. They are created by third-party developers and can be installed by Shoptet merchants. Addons can be installed from the Shoptet Marketplace (Shoptet Doplňky). Addons can use several technologies to extend the functionality of the Shoptet platform such as API, extended template customization, or custom JavaScript.
Types of Addons
There are several types of Addons that can be created for the Shoptet platform. Reaching from simple JavaScript snippets to complex integrations with external services or brand new templates. We distinguish between three types of Addons:
- Visual Addons - Addons that change the look of the Shoptet store. They can be used to change the layout of the store, add new elements, or change the design. This includes also new templates.
- API integrations - These types of Addons works purely on the backend side. They can be used to integrate external services, synchronize data, or automate processes.
- Mixed Addons - Addons that combine both visual and API integrations. They use external services for data processing
What technologies are used
Shoptet is a closed sourced SaaS platform that offers a wide range of possibilities for developers to extend the functionality of the platform.
-
We provide a comprehensive API that can be used to create API integrations that is available just for Addons. The API is based on REST and is documented in the API documentation. The developers can use their custom Addon settings fully integrated in the Shoptet's administration.
-
On the frontoffice Shoptet serves a HTML markup of the template that cannot be changed in the moment. However, we provide a way to add custom JavaScript to the store. This can be used to add new elements, change the behavior of the store, or integrate external services.
