Get started

Signing up is four steps and takes a few minutes. They happen in a fixed order and you can't skip ahead — in particular, everyone picks a plan before reaching the dashboard, which surprises people who expect to land there straight after entering their code.

1. Enter your email

The sign-in page asks for an email address, a confirmation that you're 18 or over, and a quick verification check. There's no password field — Panoply doesn't use passwords at all.

Submitting the form accepts the Terms of Service and confirms you've read the Privacy Policy. There's no separate checkbox for it; sending the form is the acceptance.

2. Enter the code

We email you a one-time code — between 6 and 10 digits, depending on configuration. Enter it on the same page you requested it from.

There's no link to click in the email and no separate confirmation page. Typing the code in is the email confirmation, and it happens in the tab you're already in. Leave that tab open.

One thing worth knowing before it happens to you: if you mistype your address, the page still says a code was sent. It can't tell you an address isn't registered without leaking who has an account, so a typo and a slow email look identical. If nothing arrives, the address is the first thing to check — see If the code doesn't arrive.

3. Pick a plan

You land on the pricing page. This step is not optional, and it's why you don't go straight to the dashboard.

Choosing Free is a single click and takes you to the next step with no payment and no card. Hobby and Pro go through checkout first, then return you to the same place.

Your plan sets how much of each sale you keep, how many apps you can publish, and how many agents you can custody. You can change it later from Settings, so this isn't a decision to agonise over — see pricing for what each plan includes and Set a price for the split.

4. Set up your profile

A display name is the only required field. It's how you appear on listings and in the creator directory.

A bio and an avatar are optional and you can add them any time from Settings. Nothing here is permanent.

Then you're in

Saving your profile takes you to your dashboard, and the whole marketplace opens up. See Your dashboard for what's on it.

From here, find an app worth buying or publish something of your own.
