Quick answers.
Do I need Swift or Kotlin skills?
No. The app is a PWA in a native shell. You build with React and Node.js.
Will my app stay upgradeable?
Yes. You extend through extensions and portals instead of forking the theme, so the core stays upgradeable.
How do I get a sandbox?
Register in the Developer Center and create an organization. Once our partner team approves it, you can create sandbox apps.
Is there developer support?
Yes, through our ticket portal and developer-support@shopgate.com. Certified partners can also reach us on Slack.

Read the docs, set up a sandbox, get going.
