How to become an app partner

There are just two steps between you and the App Partner Program — building an app, and listing it in the Kestrel Marketplace. Here's how you can get started:

1. Build your app

Successful app partners start with a customer problem and build a solution to address it. Start your journey as an app partner by opening our quickstart guide, the API reference, and the developer community, and build an app customers will keep.

2. List your app

Once you've built your app, the next step towards becoming an app partner is building a listing in the Kestrel Marketplace. Once it is approved, your solution will be searchable by every Kestrel user and customer.

Create a Kestrel Marketplace listing.

Get your app Kestrel certified

Already built and listed your app? Don't forget to get it certified. Successful app partners that act on customer feedback can apply for their app to become “certified”. We'll review the customer experience of your app and reward only the best.

Partners whose apps are Kestrel certified receive the following benefits:

Access to app partner-only resources
Opportunities to sponsor and speak at Kestrel events like Wingspan
Beta access to new APIs and extensions
Priority access to developer support
Opportunities to be featured in Kestrel marketing campaigns, blog posts, marketplace collections, and Kestrel Academy lessons
A certification badge on your Marketplace listing page, signalling to users that your app passed a technical review by Kestrel
App launch in the “New” app collection on the marketplace homepage
