Developer Story

Hear from other developers.

FAQ

Frequently
Asked
Questions

  • QHow can I sell an app?
    You can sell an app on the App Store by creating a service via an app built with Cafe24 Developers. Once you have built your app, registered its information, and passed the screening process, you can begin selling your app straight away. Specifications and processes related to building apps are provided in detail in the Cafe24 Developer’s development guide.

  • QHow is revenue shared?
    Revenue is shared from 100% of the total sales amount, with 85% paid to the developer and 15% set aside as Cafe24’s commission fee (including all card transaction fees and PG fees). In addition, any surplus funds recovered from the remaining commission fee after fixed operating costs are reinvested back into your app's marketing costs.
  • QCan I get technical support while building my app?
    As with many cases where a technical issue needs to be identified and resolved, Cafe24 Developers operates an in-house technical support center for this purpose. You can contact the support center at [Developers admin>Development support>Developer’s support] and we’ll get back to you within one business day.
  • QCan I sign up and sell my products without a business registration number?
    You can sign up and sell your products without a business registration number.
    However, you must submit a copy of your identity document in the event that a customer requests it for income and tax purposes.
    The maximum settlement amount for individual merchants without a business registration number is KRW 2 million per month. If your sales exceed this limit, please contact your payment gateway service provider.
  • QDo I have to set a free trial period?
    Cafe24 Developers recommends that you set a free trial period for your app. Because of activation constraints for service apps entering the initial market, the majority of developers either release their apps with a free trial period for the first few months and then charge a fee afterwards, or provide basic app functions and sell additional features via in-app purchases.
  • QCan I get a copy of the API?
    Cafe24 Developers offers open source API documentation, along with detailed instructions about how to use it.
