What Is AppExchange?
AppExchange is a marketplace offering solutions, such as apps, components, and
consulting services. To make your own solution publicly available to potential customers, you must
be a Salesforce partner.
How Does AppExchange Work?
The creative power behind each AppExchange solution is a Salesforce partner. AppExchange gives
partners a place to create and publish extensions to Salesforce. AppExchange is also the place
for Salesforce admins to choose and install solutions that fit their org’s needs. Here’s how
AppExchange works.
- Create
- A Salesforce partner initiates the process by creating an innovation that can improve a business process, such as a custom object, custom tab, or component. Partners share their customizations with other Salesforce users as a packaged AppExchange solution, whether an app, a Bolt solution, a Flow solution, Lightning data, or a component.
- Publish
- The Salesforce partner registers, packages, and publishes their solution on AppExchange. They can also create a demo of the functionality included in their solution for others to view before installing and include a trial version.
- Install
- Salesforce customers browse solutions published on AppExchange and choose which solutions
to install in their orgs. Installing a published AppExchange solution is safe and simple.
Customers can:
- Browse—View the descriptions, reviews, and demos of solutions on AppExchange. They choose the solution that fits their needs.
- Test Drive—Review a fully functional demo of the solution as a read-only user, and plan their implementation with their admins.
- Install—Add the solution and all its components to their Salesforce environment.
- Deploy—Immediately give their users access to the solution or customize it for a select group of users.
Who Can Use AppExchange?
