Partner Ads — rank your app in the market
App Market ranking runs through Partner Ads: buy your position and time-boxed reach in published packages, across Zid's merchant-facing channels:
- Market results — a higher position in search and categories, right where merchants choose.
- Featured apps and market banners — prominent placement inside the merchant dashboard.
- Targeted email and Zid's accounts — reach merchants outside the market too.
Every paid placement is labelled "Sponsored", and it's open to partners in the green tier.

Excellence ratio on your card
Your app's excellence ratio shows on its card and detail page, and merchants filter and sort by it — every gain in performance and support lifts your reach and your chances of joining Zid campaigns.
App Market filtering and sorting
Merchants browse the App Market by category and compare ratings and installs before they install — so the merchant looking for your kind of fix finds it.
Visibility in the merchant dashboard
Banners, the featured apps section and monthly refreshed sections in the App Market — merchants discover your app where they decide.
Content and webinars
Regular content, webinars and workshops for merchants that explain the problem your app solves, not just its name.

National Day and the big seasons: App Market offers reach merchants by email, WhatsApp and inside their dashboard.

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 — free or paid, on 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.
What technical support and response times do I get?
By issue priority, as set in the agreement: Critical — response within 4 business hours, resolution starts immediately · High — 8 business hours, resolution starts within 1 business day · Medium — 1 business day, resolution within 2 business days · Low — 2 business days, resolution within 5 business days. General enquiries are answered within 24 business hours.
You also get the developer docs, the partner help center, and technical support calls.
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.
What about security and merchant data?
Integration runs on OAuth 2.0 with scoped permissions per app, and data handling is governed by PDPL. Any security incident must be reported to Zid within 24 hours of discovery. The infrastructure runs at 99.998% uptime.
What if I decide to discontinue my app?
You notify Zid and merchants in writing at least 60 days in advance, with a transition period that protects the merchants relying on your app. The details are in the partner agreement.
