# 5. Submit App for Review

The final step in getting your app onto Shoplazza's platform is to submit it for review. Shoplazza makes it easy for partners to get their app reviewed. They only need a full manual review when the app is first launched. Once the app is approved and available on the App Store, subsequent feature updates won't require a full manual review. This helps partners to get their app approved efficiently and allows merchants to quickly access the updates they need, even in a rapidly changing market.

## Detailed Operational Steps

### 1. Run Validate

First, you need to run validation on your app. This step checks if your app meets all the necessary requirements and guidelines before submission.

If the validation fails, you will receive a to-do list with specific issues that need to be addressed.

### 2. Click "Submit" under the "Publish your app" section

If validation is satisfactory, you can submit your app for review by clicking the "Submit" button located in the "Publish your app" section of the developer dashboard.

You will need to enter the following information:
- App details and configuration
- Demo store URL for testing
- Contact information
- Any additional required documentation

### 3. Please wait for the result

Once you submit your app for review, Shoplazza will receive an email notification. The review process typically takes **1 to 7 business days** to complete.

When the review process is finished, Shoplazza will send an email to your registered email address with the results and any feedback if applicable.

## Important Notes
