How do you submit a Microsoft Edge Insider Addon to the Microsoft Store? (Edge Chromium Extension)

[Deleted]

Hello,

What would be the process for submitting a browser extension for the new chromium-based Edge to the Microsoft Store.

There are a bunch of extensions already in the store, however I can't find any information on how to add one: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/insider-addons/category/EdgeExtensions

We have a number of accessibility apps and extensions in Google Chrome that would be great for Microsoft Edge

[#2]

No worries, just take your precious time, you only failed 2 browsers so far due to ridiculously overcomplicated processes and frameworks for community submissions, third time's a charm I guess.

@AlexT2594 Hi, you can upload your Edge extension here: https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard

Register developer account, then from the projects select Microsoft Edge.

I have uploaded same ZIP file with extension as for Google Chrome. It looks like they are not approving yet, I am waiting in review state for 6 days.

@pospichalalesare you certain this already refers to the new Edge instead of the old one?

[#5]

The previous version of extensions worked a bit differently as I know. They were acting as store apps and the process was a little bit different.
I am not completely sure but think it could be a new version.

[#6]

Last time Microsoft said that when they are ready they will post more about it
news important like this will definitely appear in here
https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/whats-new
and they will most likely create blog posts and articles to address extension developers' questions

[#7]

We are in process of testing the new submission process and will have more details to share soon! As we get closer to release, we will announce in Microsoft Edge Insiders website (https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/). Stay tuned!

[#8]

Thank you! looking forward to that :)

Hi,

Get started building extensions for the new Microsoft Edge

Starting today, the Microsoft Edge Addons store is now open for submissions for all developers. This is where users will find your extensions for the new Microsoft Edge. You can submit your extensions today by visiting the Partner Center Developer Dashboard.

Wonderful!

[#16]

I don't see any option to price the extension. Are paid extensions not supported?

[#17]

Hi @igormaka 

I'm not sure, please contact Microsoft Edge Addons Developer Support from the link below:

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2099580

Also,

Initial developer documentation

p.s Tbh every time i was looking for an extension or add-on that I needed, I always found them to be free. I have never come across a paid one on chrome web store, until now that I intentionally typed in the search area "paid extension" and found one.

[#18]

Hi @igormaka,

We do not currently support publishing extensions as paid. This feature is planned for later.

However, you can integrate any third-party commerce solution you want with your extension & publish to store.

[#19]

@Balaje_Krishnan 

I'm going through the submission process and I need a bit more detail about why my extension is failing. Is there anywhere I can email to get some more details?

[#20]

@lworkman 

Maybe the policy doc could help you.

[#21]

I also see Google is blocking paid extensions from their platform.
