Apps Overview

Apps in Tanqory extend your store with features Tanqory does not include by default: loyalty programs, product reviews, advanced shipping rules, deeper analytics, marketing automations, accounting integrations. Browse the App Store to find them; install with a few clicks.

You'll work at /admin/store/{storeId}/apps.

Common app categories

Before you begin

• You are signed in to your Tanqory store admin.
• You have Manage apps permission.
• You know which problem you're trying to solve (don't install for the sake of installing).

Steps

1. Open Apps

The Apps page lists installed apps + links to the App Store.

(opens full size)

2. Browse the App Store

Filter / search by category. Read reviews + install counts.

3. Pick an app to install

For each candidate, evaluate:

• Reviews + install count.
• Pricing model (one-time / monthly / usage-based).
• Permissions requested.
• Vendor reputation.
• Support response time.

4. Click Install

The app requests permissions. Read carefully before approving: apps can access customer data, orders, products.

5. Configure the app

Each app has its own setup. Follow the vendor's onboarding.

6. Test thoroughly

Before going live: place a test order; verify the app behaves as expected.

7. Monitor performance

Apps can slow page load, increase support load, or behave unpredictably. Monitor after install.

Verify the result

• App appears in Installed apps list.
• Permissions granted correctly.
• App's configuration completed.
• Test workflow passes.

Best practices

• Solve real problems, not hypothetical ones. Don't install apps you don't need.
• Read permissions carefully. Apps can do a lot.
• Audit installed apps quarterly. Remove unused.
• Prefer one well-supported app over multiple competing ones.
• Test in a private browser before exposing customers.

Common mistakes

• App sprawl: 20 apps doing 10 things badly.
• Granting permissions without reading.
• No quarterly audit: pay for unused apps.
• Competing apps: multiple loyalty programs confuses customers.
• No backup plan if the app dies: vendor goes out of business.

If something goes wrong

• App causes storefront issue: uninstall as first response.
• App requests excessive permissions: review carefully; deny if uncomfortable.
• App breaks after Tanqory update: vendor needs to update; contact them.
• Permission denied: your role lacks Manage apps.
