What is Fynd Platform Extension?

An extension is a piece of software that offers additional features on top of the existing ones. Merchants are the end-user of Fynd Platform; therefore, any additional requirements from merchants can be created independently. Such a piece of software can be installed or uninstalled as and when required.

The purpose of creating extensions is to create delightful shopping experience for the customers, and at the same time, to improve the seller experience. The developer of the extension can make it access the company data and sales channel information if required.
