Best Practices - Extensions for Zoho Finance Suite
With Sigma, the extension developer platform, you can create custom extensions that enhance the functionality of Zoho Finance apps like Zoho Books, Zoho Billing, Zoho Inventory, Zoho Expense, and Zoho Invoice.
Here’s how to get started:
- Sign up: Create a Zoho Developer account at https://developer.zoho.com/ and access Sigma to begin building.
- Development platform: Utilize the developer platform to develop your extensions, test them in a sandbox environment, and publish them.
- Multi-DC publishing: Build your extension once in a single data center and publish it across multiple data centers (DCs).
- Reusable widgets: Create widgets tailored to your extension’s UI needs and reuse them across different Zoho Finance products by customizing them per app.
- Seamless integrations: Use Connections to integrate Zoho Finance apps with external platforms, enabling smooth and secure data transfer.
- Custom business logic: Use Deluge scripting to write custom functions as needed and associate them as part of your extension.
- Team collaboration: Working with a team? Add developers to your Sigma workspace to collaborate on extension development.
- Private or public deployment: Keep your extension private for internal use, or publish it in the Zoho Marketplace for wider adoption.
- Extension management: Use the Zoho Marketplace Partner Console to track approvals, manage reviews, and monetize your extension.
- Feedback for growth: Improve your extension by analyzing user ratings and reviews on Zoho Marketplace, helping you deliver better functionality and user experience.
