Getting Started

Get set up and add your first product

Early access: The Store is still under heavy development, so expect rapid changes. If you hit any issues, get in touch on the forum.

Before you begin

This guide covers first-time setup for the developer area and your first store product.

If your Elements Cloud account has been upgraded to a Developer Account, complete these steps before the developer sections appear in the Store window.

1

Update Elements

Make sure you are running Elements 1.2.3 or newer.

2

Sign out of Elements Cloud

Open Preferences → Account, then sign out of your Elements Cloud account.

3

Restart Elements

Quit Elements completely, then relaunch it.

4

Sign back in

Sign in again with your Elements Cloud account.

5

Watch the walkthrough

Watch the Store Developer Walkthrough Video.

After that, you should see Payment Settings and the Developer sections in the Store window.

Connect Stripe

Open Payment Settings in your account view and connect, or create, your Stripe Connect account.

You must complete this step before you can receive payouts for product sales.

Add your first product

Before you submit anything, review the Submission Requirements. That page includes the current thumbnail and screenshot specs.

Open the Store window in Elements, then select Dev Packs under Developer in the sidebar.

From there, you can manage installed components and submit them to the Store.

Each product submission has two parts:

1. Build — the dev pack you upload for review.

2. Info — the listing details, pricing, and screenshots shown in the Store.

Make sure your pack defines valid categories in info.json. If not, your submission will fail.
