Public Release Guide

To make a version of your add-on available to alpha sellers you will need to publish it. Note that publishing a version does not make it available to your own seller account, for that you will need to follow the Private Installation Guide. Only one version of an add-on can be published at any time. If you already have a published version and you publish a new version all sellers using your addon will automatically switch to the new version

How to publicly release an Add-on

Step 1: Submit for Review

Before you can publish a version of your add-on it needs to be reviewed and approved by Square. To submit a version of your add-on for review send us an email to dashboard-add-ons-alpha@squareup.com. Include the version number of the build and the ID of the application associated with the add-on. You can find the ID of the applications in Square Developer > Applications

E.g.:

Version: 1.0.2
App ID: sq0ids-fDPu-UkqgL-4bCNXvRDDuQ

Once we receive your email you will see the status of the versions switch to “In review”

Step 2: Get an Approval

Once we review the version we will notify you via email if it was approved or rejected. You will also see the Approved / Rejected status on the Add-ons tab of your Square Developer page.

If a version gets rejected we will provide you with the reason why it was rejected and what needs to be changed for it to be approved. You will need to upload a new version that addresses all the issues and submit it for review.

Step 3: Publish

An approved version does not get automatically published to your sellers. To publish it send us an email to dashboard-add-ons-alpha@squareup.com. Include the version number of the build and the ID of the application associated with the add-on (see “submit for review” above). We will notify you via email once the version gets published. You will also see the version’s status change to “Released (public)” on the Add-ons tab of your Square Developer page.
