App Management overview
Adobe Commerce App Management is for Beta users only and is not yet accessible to all customers.
App Management provides a unified experience for installing, configuring, and managing App Builder applications in Adobe Commerce. Define your configuration schema once, and the system auto-generates the runtime actions and Admin UI, with no custom code required.
App developers define the configuration schema, metadata, and runtime actions for their applications. App managers associate and configure deployed apps within their Commerce instances.
Key benefits
Auto-generated runtime actions. Define a configuration schema and the library automatically generates all required runtime actions.
Auto-generated Admin UI. Configuration forms are rendered dynamically based on your schema, eliminating custom UI development.
Scope inheritance. Configuration values cascade through Global, Website, Store, and Store View levels.
Unified lifecycle management. Associate, configure, and unassociate apps from a single interface.
Requirements
Before using App Management, ensure the following:
Admin UI SDK version 3.3.0 is required for App Management:
- SaaS instances include this version by default.
- For PaaS, verify your version before proceeding.
App managers (Admin users) who associate apps must have App Management permissions. See Associate and configure apps.
How it works
Follow these steps to set up and deploy an App Builder application with App Management:
Define app metadata. Add your app metadata in
app.commerce.config.Define your configuration schema. Create your configuration schema in
app.commerce.config.Setup your project to use business configuration. See the runtime actions section for the required steps.
Deploy. Build and deploy your app with the
aio app build && aio app deploycommand.Link your app. Associate your app with a Commerce instance in the Admin.
Configure settings. Merchants configure settings through the auto-generated UI.
