This guide shows you how to install an app from the Apps library in Blnk Cloud. When you install an app, it becomes available inside the organization and Cloud instance you selected. This means an app can be installed in one instance and unavailable in another. Before you start, check that you are in the right organization and have selected the instance where you want the app to be available. The Apps library can include two types of apps:
  • Official apps: Built and managed by Blnk.
  • Private apps: Built and managed by your organization.
If you are building your own Custom App, see Custom Apps overview. For a runnable Stripe Sync example you can clone and register in Cloud, use the blnkfinance/apps-demo repository on GitHub.

​
Prerequisites

If your instance is deployed on Cloud, you’re set to go. For connected self-hosted instances:
  • Make sure you set your Core URL and Core secret key in your instance details.
  • Make sure your Core URL is reachable. If your Core is set up in a private network, whitelist the Cloud IPs to ensure secure access to your Core via Cloud.
