GOOGLE CHROME WEBSTORE UPDATE
Additionally, the developers will now be able to "programmatically create, update and publish items in the Web Store" via the newly expanded Chrome Web Store API. However, the managing licences of the extensions and themes remain with Google. Google has also improved the developer dashboard, where they can now enable or disable products (including in-app products), provide localized descriptions, and set prices for different regions, with the Chrome Web Store managing the licensing. Also new to extensions is Chrome Web Store managed in-app purchases.Įasy payment options for apps, extensions, and themes have also been included, ditching the old method of using payment tokens for each sale.
GOOGLE CHROME WEBSTORE FREE
While themes can only be paid for up-front, extensions can be offered as free trials, or subscriptions.
The Google Chrome update also brings along the option for the developers to sell their Chrome extensions and themes. Chrome Web Store managed in-app purchases have also been added to packaged apps. Packaged apps are those apps created by the developer that do not use browser action or page action, and are capable of running offline. With the changes, developers can now be able to offer packaged apps as free trials. The search giant made the announcement on its Chromium Blog, in a post titled 'New monetization and publishing options in the Chrome Web Store'. The update is focused on easy app, extension and theme management options for developers. Google on Tuesday announced new developer tools and services for the Chrome Web Store, with the aim to help automate the publishing process, and monetise products.
