How to test a BigCommerce app or plugin before submitting

Question

Is there a way to test your application or plugin before submitting it for approval? Or is there a sandbox for BigCommerce to test applications before?

How can application developers who are now in the BigCommerce store test at the development stage?

Answer 1

You can test your application in the free trial store.

You can do it:

• Developer account setup
• Log in to the Services section
• Adding an Application Project
• Entrance to any Bigcommerce store (preferably a trial store) where you are an administrator
• Go to "Applications", then "My Drafts"
• Install the application and check it.

See https://developer.bigcommerce.com/apps/ for more details.

Answer 2

To test your application locally, use ngrok.io to create an https url that tunnels your local host
