# Publish to the App Registry

This topic is for **ISVs** who want merchants to discover and install the app from Business Manager. Submit your Commerce App to the registry for review and publication.

SIs developing a merchant-specific private app should **not** open a registry PR. Install with WebDAV instead. See [Develop a Private Commerce App](/docs/commerce/b2c-commerce/guide/private-commerce-apps.md).

## Submission Process

Submit your validated CAP to the [Commerce App Registry](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/commerce-apps).

1. Ensure `b2c cap validate` passes with no errors

2. Produce your final `.zip` via `b2c cap package`

3. Issue a Pull Request against the [Commerce App Registry](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/commerce-apps) to submit the package along with required metadata (app name, version, description, supported platform versions, documentation)

4. The review team will evaluate your submission and collaborate with your team against your PR before approving.

## Review Process and States

After submission, your app moves through the following states:

**Draft:** Initial submission received, not yet in review.

**In Review:** The review team is evaluating your app.

**Feedback:** Issues found; you need to address review comments and resubmit.

**Approved:** Your app is approved and published to the registry.

**Published:** Available for merchant installation.
