# Dev Shops

{% hint style="warning" %}
Rules to get your Dev Shop Approval: 

1. Your application is ready to be used.
2. Your application uses the Developers' APIs.
3. Your application brings value for both sides: You as a developer and for the Upland community.
   {% endhint %}

To allow players and developers to use third-party tools, Upland is creating a new system of stores specifically for third-party developers, the Dev Shops.

So every new third-party application must have a physical presence inside Upland that we call: Dev Shops. 

Which are, in simplistic terms, Upland properties.

Your dev shop will be able to have multiple addresses, so players do not need to take a flight or travel to your location. 

Every time a player needs to put anything inside the escrow, they must be at the dev shop—one of the addresses.

In this first version, the system will have a simple and objective verification:

***Is the player near one of the related addresses to this Dev Shop?***

If not, the Developer API will notify the application so they can let the player know one of the available addresses to participate in that third-party application.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your application registration as a Dev Shop will only be requested in Production.
{% endhint %}

## How to open your Dev Shop
