Got a question? We’ve got answers
Didn't find your answer? The partner help center has the full detail.
How do I add my app to the Zid App Market?
Create your account in the partner portal, add your app and get your development keys, connect it via Zid's APIs and test it on a development store, then submit it for review. Once approved it appears to Zid merchants.
Do I need to build an app from scratch?
No. If you already have a product, you connect it to Zid via OAuth 2.0, the Merchant APIs and webhooks. And if you're building a new integration, the docs and SDK are ready.
Is there a test environment?
Yes. A development store linked to your account, where you test the integration and full scenarios before you submit for review — and you can create it and install your app on it straight from Partner MCP.
How long does app review take?
Review is a technical and functional check against published criteria, and you track the submission status and notes in the partner dashboard at every stage. If the app needs changes, it comes back with specific notes.
Can I set my own pricing model?
Yes. You set the price — as a monthly or annual subscription or a one-time charge, with a free trial if you want one.
Does Zid take a share?
Yes, applied to your app's revenue only after it sells. The share and billing details are in the partner agreement you review before publishing. Joining itself is free.
How and when do I get paid?
The partner dashboard shows income, subscriptions (trial and paid), and your next payout. Earnings are transferred on the approved payout cycle once your invoice is approved.
General or custom app — what's the difference?
A general app is listed in the App Market for all Zid merchants. A custom app is built for one specific merchant or organization and isn't listed. The path is the same, from the partner dashboard.
How do I track my app's performance?
From the partner dashboard: installs (active, inactive, cancelled), subscriptions, ratings and reviews, and income — in one place. Or ask Partner MCP from inside your tools, uninstall reasons included in the merchant's own words.
How is my app ranked in the market?
Market ranking runs through Partner Ads: you buy your position and time-boxed reach in published packages, and every paid placement is labelled "Sponsored". Your excellence ratio and merchant ratings show on your card for merchants to filter by, and delivering on quality raises your access to Zid campaigns.
