Mobile Developers Getting Started

A few words to the mobile developers - please, remember these!
Hi, this is the ESDN application store development team - we welcome you!

Prior to registration, we'd like to thank you for choosing the ESDN app store and to tell you a few words about our goals and what will be expected from you!


 * We work to make ESDN a top mobile applications store!
 * ESDN will be very lightly regulated & moderated - so you're expected to behave nicely!
 * You have to submit your work only - no pirated content or copyright infringements of any kind is allowed!
 * All your work remains yours - nothing you ever submit to the ESDN store becomes ours or will be used in any other way except as described when you submitted it! If we plan to do something - we'll ask you first and proceed only if allowed.
 * Please, check the ESDN app store Terms Of Service page - all these issues are addressed in detail there!
 * We do respect your privacy - the details are on the ESDN's applications market Privacy Policy page.
 * In case you're in doubt if something is allowed - just contact us and ask!
 * In case you need a feature or have an idea - contact us and it will be implemented!
 * Do spread the word! In case you like the ESDN appstore: please, drop a line about us wherever you can. You can also:
 * Like our storefront on Facebook
 * Follow us on Twitter - @esdnws - '''and re-tweet anything you like from us!
 * Hit the Google +1 button on www.esdn.ws appstore or share our market in the LinkedIn professional network (share button also available on the ESDN.ws appstore home page).
 * Do any of the above for each of your titles - we've added social sharing buttons on each title's page, so you could make your titles popular!


 * We wish you all the best!

Registration
The mobile developers registration is free and only a valid email address is required:


 * Go to the ESDN mobile developers page
 * Fill & submit the "Registration" form
 * Check your mailbox & click/open the link in the confirmation email
 * Go to the same page as above and use the "Login" form
 * Welcome aboard!

Your registration is completed and activated immediately, there is no approval process.

Every developer is instantly approved, but if you act against the ESDN Terms of Service your titles may be deactivated or your account may be blocked!

Payments & financial relations
The ESDN appstore has no registration or listing fees - you have to register and upload your titles! There are no by-country restrictions, too!

If you decide to list paid titles, you have three options to receive your money:


 * PayPal account - if you have a PayPal account with withdrawal options, you'll receive your money instantly, after each sale!
 * MoneyBookers account - if you select this option, you'll receive your income after some predefined amount (min USD 50.00) is accumulated and you'll pay the transfer fees (as you're the receiver of the transfer).
 * Bank account transfer - same as with MoneyBookers, if you select this option, you'll receive your income after some predefined amount (min USD 50.00) is accumulated and you'll pay the transfer fees imposed by your bank (as you're the receiver of the transfer). Please, note that in this case the transfer fees may be much higher, compared to the MoneyBookers case!

Our initial commission rate is 11% and if you put a link to any of the ESDN storefronts (esdn.ws, esdn.mobi or apps.facebook.com/esdn_ws) on your website - we'll make it 9%!

Further agreements to lower our commission rate - based on sales volume for example - are possible!

This is just an outline of the ESDN application store financial framework. For more information check the Financial information page of the ESDN appstore in-depth guide!

The Developer's section
This is just an outline of the complete Developers section page!

When you're logged in, in the top right corner of ESDN you'll see your name (or the name of your company) - click it to open the Developer section.

The section consists of the following tabs for interacting with the appstore
 * Contact info - provide your and your company's name, general contact information and default support information
 * Payment info - select and adjust payment options - how you want to receive your money if you want to list paid mobile applications
 * Content - upload, manage & review your mobile applications
 * Discount coupons - create discount coupons and send/distribute to your users or anywhere you like. You can also allow ESDN to clone your coupons and use within our distribution channels
 * Messaging - you can send us a message and will receive a reply in this tab. This is an alternative to the e-mail communication. We can also send you a message through this system, if we have something to tell you!
 * Developers Private FAQ - a place to list resources available to registered developers only

As always, in case you have any questions or idea - you're welcome to contact us!
