Build plugins that help merchants actually grow.
Join the Orbit Commerce developer programme and ship plugins to the merchants who need them. Your plugin runs as your own app, and Orbit handles the billing.
The tools to build great plugins.
The API, the docs and the SDK are ready, so you can spend your time on the plugin itself.
The Orbit API
A versioned REST API with OAuth scopes for products, orders, customers, carts and more, plus webhooks for the events you need.
Docs and an SDK
Guides, an API reference and the full scope catalogue on the developer site, and a JavaScript SDK on npm.
In the dashboard and storefront
Add pages, blocks and actions to the store dashboard, and widgets to the storefront, through extension points.
Billing handled
Offer a free plan, a subscription or a one-off price. Orbit bills the merchant and pays your share out through Stripe.
A real review
The Orbit team reviews every plugin you submit before it is listed, and tells you what to change if it is not ready yet.
Scoped access
Merchants approve the permissions your plugin declares, and every call it makes for store data is checked against them.
Live in the store in four steps.
- 01
Create your partner account
Sign up for a free partner account, then create a free development store from your partner dashboard. From there you create your plugin, choose the permissions it needs and set up its pricing plans.
- 02
Build and test it
Build your plugin as your own web app with the Orbit API and SDK. Test it on your development store with test payments and sample data. Development releases only reach your development stores.
- 03
Submit for review
Submit your plugin for review from your partner dashboard. Our team tests your plugin and gives you feedback, then approves it or tells you what to change.
- 04
Go live
Once approved, your plugin is listed in the plugin store, where merchants can find and install it.
