App
Marketplace

App Approval
Any app in your marketplace MUST be approved by you before it can be made available on your
terminals. You will have full control of the application process. There are 2 channels to authorize app
distribution in your marketplace:

1. Application subscription from the PAX Global Marketplace;

2. Approval of apps submitted by your own local marketplace developers.

App Distribution
You can configure a specific distribution for any approved app. PAXSTORE provides two levels of app
specific distribution:

1. Application distribution to specific reseller(s) or sub-reseller(s);

2. Grey distribution: a new app version can be distributed differently than the previous versions
(allowing it to be tested in controlled environment before the general distribution)
App Management

Merchant App Solution

You also can setup a merchant specific distribution in your marketplace. One app can be linked to a
specific merchant type. Only those terminals in this merchant type can see and access such merchant
specific apps.

The Marketplace can provide a wide variety of applications fully integrated into the point of sale. These
apps can be tailored to different merchant types taking into consideration their specific needs.
Merchants can easily get what they expect.

Payment App with Parameters

PAXSTORE enables you to configure in the cloud the parameters of your payment application using a
defined parameter template.

You also can dramatically improve the efficiency of parameter configuration through the use of the
parameter variable feature. The platform automatic replaces the variables with real terminal parameter
values so that you can use a single parameter template for thousands of terminals.

App Online Signature

Through the online PAXSTORE signature service, app providers no longer need to sign APKs offline
before uploading them to your marketplace. The marketplace can automatically sign applications once
approved by you. This will make for more efficient application management and for increased security
as developers no longer need to employ signature tools.
