Developer Programs
Cloud Developer Ecosystem
Build on SKARTIO. From your first API call to enterprise integration.
The SKARTIO Developer ecosystem gives developers, ISVs, startups and engineering teams a structured way to create applications, extensions, AI experiences and enterprise integrations across Commerce Cloud and Business Cloud.
Create and register apps Build safely in sandbox Move approved apps to production
Security Boundary
A complete developer lifecycle
Create an application identity, subscribe only the resources and permissions you need, validate safely in sandbox, complete production review, then operate with governed production access.
StandardCore APIs, apps and webhooks
PremiumAI, agents and MCP
UltimateEnterprise integrations and scale
Register → Subscribe → Test
Create the app, add APIs/resources, request least-privilege scopes, issue sandbox credentials and validate with test identities and data.
Review → Approve → Go Live
Complete security and permission review, activate production access, issue production credentials, monitor usage and rotate secrets.
Developers are technology partners who build and extend the platform.
Developer participation is designed for independent developers, startups, ISVs, software companies and engineering teams building reusable applications, customer-specific extensions or connected digital experiences.
Build once. Extend across connected cloud capabilities.
Developer applications can use approved platform resources across commerce, business workflows, APIs, events, automation and AI. Each app has its own identity, subscribed resources, permissions, sandbox credentials and production access lifecycle.
Apps & ExtensionsAPIs & WebhooksAI & AgentsMCPEnterprise Integration
Resources and permissions are attached to a registered developer app.
Sandbox and production credentials are separated to protect customer environments.
Apps request only the APIs, scopes and resources required for their use case.
Production access is activated after applicable readiness, security and policy checks.
Three developer programs for three levels of capability.
Select the program based on what you intend to build. The distinction is based on platform capability—not simply usage volume.
Cloud Developer – Standard
For developers building standard applications, extensions, workflows and integrations using core SKARTIO platform interfaces.
- Core platform APIs
- Webhooks and event-driven integration
- Developer sandbox
- App registration and credential management
- Standard extensions and connected applications
- Documentation and developer resources
Best for: apps, extensions, standard APIs and conventional integrations.
Cloud Developer – Premium
For developers building intelligent applications where AI, agents and tool connectivity are part of the product experience.
- Everything in Standard
- AI development capabilities
- Agent-enabled application patterns
- MCP access
- Advanced automation and tool interactions
- Intelligent commerce and business extensions
Best for: AI apps, agentic experiences, MCP-enabled tools and intelligent automation.
Cloud Developer – Ultimate
For technology organizations building complex enterprise-grade integrations and connected solutions across larger digital landscapes.
- Everything in Premium
- Enterprise integration capabilities
- Advanced API and connectivity patterns
- Complex multi-system solution architectures
- Enterprise security and access patterns
- Production architecture collaboration
Best for: enterprise applications, ISVs and sophisticated cross-platform integrations.

A mature developer lifecycle from app registration to production operations.
The journey follows proven developer-platform practices: every app has a distinct identity, explicit resource subscriptions, least-privilege permissions, environment-specific credentials, controlled production approval and ongoing credential hygiene.
Your application—not your personal account—is the security boundary.
Each registered app gets its own identity, permissions and credentials. This keeps access auditable, makes sandbox and production separation clear, and lets teams rotate or revoke credentials without rebuilding their developer profile.
- Separate developer identity from application identity
- Subscribe only required APIs, events, AI/MCP or enterprise resources
- Use least-privilege scopes and application permissions
- Keep sandbox and production credentials isolated
- Require review/consent for sensitive production permissions
- Monitor usage, revoke stale access and rotate credentials
01
Create Developer AccountRegister an individual or organization profile and accept developer terms.
02
Create & Register AppCreate an application record and receive a unique app identity/client identifier.
03
Choose App Type & EnvironmentDefine the application pattern, callback/redirect requirements and sandbox environment.
04
Subscribe ResourcesAdd only the APIs, events, webhooks, AI/MCP capabilities or enterprise resources the app requires.
05
Configure Scopes & PermissionsRequest least-privilege delegated scopes or application permissions and configure consent requirements.
06
Issue Sandbox CredentialsCreate sandbox credentials/tokens and configure callbacks, webhooks and test identities.
07
Build, Test & ObserveValidate end-to-end flows, permissions, rate handling, errors, webhook behavior, logs and data usage.
08
Submit Production AccessDeclare production use case, required resources, scopes, data handling and operational readiness.
09
Review, Consent & ApprovalComplete applicable security, policy, permission and administrator/enterprise approval for sensitive access.
10
Activate ProductionIssue production credentials and enable only the approved production resources and scopes.
11
Operate, Monitor & RotateMonitor usage and failures, rotate credentials, review permissions and request additional access only when needed.
Developer Sandbox and Production are intentionally separate journeys.
Developers should be able to start quickly in a safe environment, while live customer access remains controlled. The same registered app progresses from sandbox validation into production after the required review and approval.
Developer Sandbox Journey
Fast, low-risk development using sandbox-only identities, credentials and test resources.
1
Create appRegister the app and receive a sandbox application identity.
2
Subscribe resourcesAdd the APIs, webhooks, events and program capabilities required for the use case.
3
Request permissionsChoose only the scopes/app permissions needed; higher-risk resources remain gated.
4
Issue sandbox credentialsGenerate sandbox credentials/tokens and keep them separate from future production credentials.
5
Configure app endpointsSet redirect URIs, callback URLs, webhook endpoints and test-user access where applicable.
6
Build & testExercise positive, negative and permission-denied flows using test identities and sample data.
7
Validate readinessCheck security, logging, retries, rate-limit behavior, data handling and operational observability.
Developer Production Journey
Controlled activation for applications ready to serve real customers and enterprise workloads.
1
Request production accessSubmit the production use case, app owner, resources, scopes and data-handling purpose.
2
Security & policy reviewValidate credential handling, callback domains, data use, privacy and operational controls.
3
Permission approval / consentApprove sensitive scopes or enterprise permissions only when justified by the use case.
4
Issue production credentialsCreate production credentials separately; never reuse sandbox secrets.
5
Activate approved resourcesEnable only the APIs, events, AI/MCP or enterprise capabilities approved for production.
6
Go live graduallyStart with controlled traffic, validate telemetry and expand usage after successful checks.
7
Operate continuouslyMonitor usage, errors and permissions; rotate credentials and revoke unused access periodically.
Developer benefits designed around building real products.
Access increases by program capability, while the development experience remains consistent from app registration through sandbox and production operations.
Documentation, API references, examples and implementation guidance for supported platform capabilities.
Build and test applications against development-safe resources before requesting live access.
Manage app identities, resource subscriptions, scopes and environment-specific credentials.
Premium and Ultimate programs can build AI-enabled and MCP-connected developer experiences.
Ultimate supports advanced integration patterns for larger enterprise technology landscapes.
Structured production access helps protect customer data, platform stability and app security.
