Obtaining Author Account

When you’re ready to share your app, you can submit your app to the Crowdin Store. Once published, your app will become accessible for installation and usage by other Crowdin users. But before publishing an app, you need to obtain an author account in the Crowdin Store. To do that, contact our customer success service and follow the provided instructions.

Creating Author Page

Every developer that publishes apps in the Crowdin Store will have a personal author page.

Here is an example of the author page: Crowdin

Once you obtain your author account, you can proceed to your author page creation. To do that, navigate to the Authors management page and click Create Item. You’ll need to provide some information for your author page. We recommend doing this before you start the publishing process.

In the table below, you can check out the fields that need to be filled for your author page.

The application needs to go through the review process before Crowdin can list it in the Crowdin Store. The review process includes reviewing the author’s and app’s descriptions on the respective pages in the Crowdin Store.

Author Verification

You can request author verification for your organization. A Verified author badge is a check that appears next to the author account name in the Crowdin Store and means Crowdin has confirmed that an author account is the authentic presence of the company or individual it represents.

To request an author verification, contact our customer success service, and we will agree on the further steps.
