# Apps and storefronts

> The Apps portal where verified creators offer sessions, experiences and books, and the storefront that shows them

> [!WARNING]

> This is in development and becomes available when Arkhub moves out of beta. See [Creator economy](/creators/overview.md).

## Storefronts

A storefront is a researcher's own page at `app.arkhub.co/username/storefront`. It can offer:

* **Experiences**: tours and workshops with reservations.
* **Sessions**: paid video calls about their research. Pick a time, answer the host's questions, and you get a confirmation with where the call happens.
* **Books**: their books, with buy links and signed copies.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Payments are in demo mode: no card is charged and nothing is booked. Click **Coming soon** at checkout to leave your email for when paying on Arkhub ships.

## The Apps portal

If you are a verified creator, you offer your own experiences, sessions and books from the **Apps portal** at `app.arkhub.co/apps`. It has its own sidebar: your earnings and your apps on the home, the catalogue of apps to add, and your settings.

**1. Get verified**

Storefront is for verified creators. Link your X account from your settings or from the portal. Until then you can look around the portal, but nothing is saved or shown to anyone.

**2. Add an app**

Open **Apps** in the portal and add Experiences, Book a session or Books. See [Experiences](/creators/experiences.md) for tours. Apps that are not built yet (virtual tours, online courses, memberships, digital downloads) open a signup for when they ship.

**3. Set it up**

* **Experiences**: title, kind, description, the itinerary day by day with the records each stop visits, departures with dates and prices, and your currency.
* **Sessions**: a title, a price, when you are available, and where the call happens (your Zoom, Google Meet or other room). Add questions for people to answer when they book.
* **Books**: find your books by title or paste a link, then add buy links or offer signed copies.

**4. Go live**

Switch an app live to show it on your storefront. Each session has a link to share and an embed. Your settings hold your payment details, invoices, tax, legal terms and notifications.

### Coming soon in the portal

* Google Calendar: check your calendar so nobody books you when you are busy, and put each booking in it.
* Google Meet rooms made for each booked session.
* Group sessions.
* Listing your sessions on Discover.

Click **Coming soon** on any of these to leave your email.
