## Creating a new App

To create a new app, click on the  **`Add new application`** in the drop-down menu in the top-left corner

<figure><img src="/files/zmQCDdWuXlchvLoesPH2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you have 2 different environments (e.g.: staging & production), you should create 2 different **Applications** in the Purchasely Console and use 2 different **API keys**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
&#x20;We advise you to start creating a staging application first (i.e. a mobile application plugged into a staging environment) to perform your first tests.
{% endhint %}

This new application must be configured with a set of parameters among 3 different stages. All these parameters can be modified after the application has been created.

#### 1. Create a new application

<figure><img src="/files/uVXBoh9RrjUtXYD3R13z" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The mandatory parameters are :

* **Name:** the name of the application as it will be displayed in the Purchasely Console.
* **The default language**:  this will define which language shall be used when the language on a user device is not supported by the application; ⚠️ This value can't be changed later.
* **Default Dashboard Currency**: this is the currency unit displayed in your Purchasely Dashboards.&#x20;
* **Default Integration Currency:** this currency unit is used to send price information to the Webhook and 3rd party integrations

#### 2. Plug it with the stores

<figure><img src="/files/YyoNYRCzhplSQO6slNNa" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can add up to 4 different stores. Step by step configuration of each store is explained below, in dedicated sections.

* [**Apple App Store**](#configuring-the-apple-app-store-parameters)
* [**Google Play Store**](/purchasely/3.4/quick-start-1/console-configuration/installation.md#configuring-the-google-play-store-parameters)
* [**Huawei AppGallery**](/purchasely/3.4/quick-start-1/console-configuration/installation.md#configuring-huawei-appgallery-parameters)
* [**Amazon App Store**](/purchasely/3.4/quick-start-1/console-configuration/installation.md#configuring-amazon-app-store-parameters)

#### 3. Plug it with your backend

<figure><img src="/files/b9Po1ZYi4n6xBxguXU72" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In this section, you can plug the Purchasely Cloud Platform with your own backend through server-to-server integration. This will allow having your backend notified through a *webhook* when a transaction event is received from the stores.

![Purchasely webhook illustration](/files/89pLmfcxNFl6BpFjMLFp)

Fill in the `Client webhook URL` with the endpoint URL on your own backend where you want to receive the subscription events.

{% hint style="info" %}
If your `Client Webhook` is not ready when you make your configuration, we advise you to use the following value: <https://httpstat.us/200>

This value will simulate a HTTP 200 response code allowing the Purchasely Cloud Platform to consider that the new subscription has been duly acknowledged by the Client Backend.
{% endhint %}

Every message send by Purchasely in the webhook is signed using a Client shared secret.&#x20;

Refer to [Webhook documentation](/purchasely/3.4/integrations/webhook-1.md) to know more.

Receiving the transaction events allows to [manage user entitlements and access control.](/purchasely/3.4/integrations/webhook-1/managing-entitlements.md)
