A vendor account is what lets you publish. Creating one also creates the workspace your team belongs to and a project named Sandbox, which is where tappify extension dev --live installs a build that is not published yet. Both commands below are tappify, so install the CLI first.

Sign in

tappify login opens the device authorization flow in your browser. It is the same sign-in as the dashboard.

Answer three questions

tappify vendor create asks for the name owners see, your domain, and a support email. Pass --name, --domain and --support-email to skip the questions.

Check what you got

It prints the vendor, your role in it, and the sandbox project.
Any extension command run without a vendor account stops with the same three-part error and points you back here.

Roles

​
The sandbox project

Owners install extensions on their own projects. You do not have one, so vendor creation makes you a project named Sandbox with the flag that lets it hold dev installs. It is the target of --live, and it is where you look when you want to see your widget on a real page rather than in the portal preview.
