💥 Solution Series Episode 3! App Extensions with Rob Alvarez, Lead Software Engineer @ BigCommerce

In today’s Solution Series, I sat down with BigCommerce Lead Software Engineer, Rob Alvarez, to talk about App Extensions!

Rob walks us through what App Extensions are, how they show up in a user’s UI, what the purpose of them is AND how to use BigDesign to design native-feeling extensions for your apps that live in the user’s BigCommerce Control Panel!

We talk about:
Why should you use App Extensions?
Using the Postman collection to test & learn about App Extensions
The difference between “Panel” and “Link”
Designing the UI of your App Extensions
& MORE!
