Platform · Apps

Extend the operation without bending the core platform.

Real commerce businesses have market rules, partner logic, tax requirements, and return flows that standard software rarely fits out of the box. Apps add those capabilities as isolated, versioned units instead of permanent customization debt.

Business first. Systems follow.

Your business should not shrink to fit your software.

Most platforms offer a choice: accept the standard system and reshape the business around it, or customize the core and inherit the maintenance forever. Apps are how Hantera_ avoids that trade.

Modifying the core

  • Every change touches shared code
  • Upgrades get riskier over time
  • Custom logic spreads across the platform
  • Releases queue behind each other
  • Nobody wants to be the one to change it

Shipping an app

  • Capability lives in an isolated unit
  • Versioned and installable on its own
  • Business-specific logic stays contained
  • No platform release to wait for
  • Changing it later is a normal task

Customization should be contained, not inherited.

What apps are for

Apps let Hantera_ adapt to how the business actually works.

Some apps connect a system. Some add an operational capability. Some encode the rules of a single market or customer agreement. All of them keep that logic governed and maintainable.

/ 01

Integration apps

Package a connection to ERP, tax, help desk, payment, logistics or marketplace systems — with the workflow around it.

/ 02

Workflow apps

Add return flows, claims handling, recovery actions, approvals or operational automation.

/ 03

Market apps

Express country, channel, reseller or customer-specific rules without hard-coding them into the core.

The same mechanism, at very different scales.

A promotion type built from a specification is an app. A certified tax integration is an app. A market-specific return rule is an app. That consistency is what keeps a heavily adapted platform upgradeable.

Built to be shared

Capability that can be reused, not rebuilt.

Once a capability is an app, it can be versioned, improved and adopted by other teams and partners instead of being rewritten from scratch for every implementation.

The Hantera_ app marketplace — installed apps, the apps available to install, and the version state of each app.
Installed apps, available apps and version state — one marketplace surface.

Governed

Extension happens in a defined place, with a defined lifecycle.

Versioned

Install, upgrade and roll forward without a platform-wide release.

Partner-ready

Third-party capability that is useful inside the order journey.

Maintainable

Adaptability without turning the platform into technical debt.
