Install Your App Directly on Sites

Some apps are intended for distribution within a business. For example, enterprise businesses may develop specialized apps for their subsidiaries, and agencies may develop and install apps for the sites they build for their customers.

In these cases, if you have management access to all the sites that should install your app, and you can install it directly from your app's dashboard.

Important: This feature is currently being rolled out in stages and isn't available to all users yet.

Unlike installing a test version of your app, which always updates automatically with every change, this functionality allows you to easily install the latest released version to any site within your account.

Note: If you don't have management access to all the sites that should install your app, you can share an install link instead.

To install an app directly, complete the following steps:

  1. Go to one of the Install on Site entry points:
    • In your app’s dashboard, in the Distribution tab in the menu.
    • The Distribute App button in every page of the app dashboard.
  2. Select Install on Site.
  3. If your app doesn’t have a major version yet, you’ll be prompted to release one.
  4. Select the relevant site.
  5. Click Agree & Add to agree to the required permissions and install the app on the site.
