How to create a Chrome Web Store account

Introduction

It is easy to create a chrome web store account but to publish is not that easy because you must pass many control steps. So now I’m going to show you to pass those steps easily.

What are the steps:

1- prepare your app as a zip file

2- go to the chrome web store

3- create an account with your Google account

4- create a chrome developer account(5$ fee)

5- Upload your projects(the hard step)

Why read this? You can watch videos on Youtube about how to create an account but the videos about the deployment process are very rare. So if you are a developer-first time publishing an extension this article is for you!

Now we will be covering the whole deployment process — the account creation processes and the permission-taking processes.

Account Creation

Go to:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions?hl=tr

Click the settings icon near your email and then click to the developer account part.

Then accept the policies and create your account just for 5$. After creating you will have access to publish 20 extensions.

Project Upload

.zip — the project you tested before and upload it from the menu part.

The panel will want a youtube video about the extension, some photos, and a long description. Be careful in this part because if you don’t prepare a good explanation it won’t allow you to publish your work.

The permissions:

If you wanted permissions like storage- context-menus etc. it will ask you for what you will use it!

Answer those questions clearly — it’s important!
