Sitecore Symposium | Getting Started with the Sitecore App Marketplace

Sitecore Marketplace

The Sitecore App Marketplace is your gateway to extending and customising Sitecore’s SaaS-based products like XM Cloud and SitecoreAI. It provides a curated ecosystem of apps and extensions that help organisations accelerate innovation without adding complexity.

What is the Sitecore Marketplace?

The Marketplace is designed for composable, cloud-native environments. It allows you to:
  • Discover apps that add new capabilities such as AI-driven personalization, analytics, and workflow automation.
  • Install and manage apps directly through the Sitecore Cloud Portal.
  • Build custom apps tailored to your organization’s needs.

Currently, the Marketplace works only with Sitecore SaaS products (e.g., XM Cloud and SitecoreAI). Traditional on-premise DXP (Sitecore XP) does not support Marketplace apps because it lacks the Cloud Portal integration required for installation and management.

Why Use the Marketplace?
  • Faster Time to Value: Add new features without heavy development.
  • Safe Extensibility: Extend Sitecore without modifying its core code, reducing upgrade risks.
  • Modern Development: Build apps using JavaScript frameworks like React or Next.js.

Next Steps

  • Explore the Sitecore Marketplace documentation.
  • Try building your first app using the Starter Kit.
  • Join the Sitecore developer community to share ideas and best practices.
