Bitrix, Inc. · CRM & sales clouds

Best for: Developers adding CRM/collaboration integrations for Bitrix24's SMB users.

Overview

Bitrix24 Market is the app marketplace for Bitrix24, an all-in-one CRM, collaboration, telephony, and business-management suite popular with SMBs globally. Developers build against the Bitrix24 REST API to add CRM automation, Open Channel messenger connectors, telephony, chatbots, embedded UI widgets, and workflow (robot) actions, distributed either as public mass-market apps or as private local apps installed on a single account.

Authentication for mass-market apps is OAuth 2.0: the user authorizes the app, which is redirected back with a code exchanged at the oauth.bitrix.info server; local apps can instead use permanent incoming-webhook codes. To go live, developers submit the app for moderation against Bitrix's published rules. A notable constraint: only free apps can be published, and monetization must be implemented through in-app purchases rather than a store-set price. Choose Bitrix24 Market to reach a large global SMB base with CRM connectors, messenger/telephony integrations, chatbots, or workflow automations.

  3. 3Integrate with the Bitrix24 REST API via the JS SDK (client) or OAuth 2.0 (server), and handle events
  4. 4Configure the app UI placement (menu page, widgets, slider) and localize for target regions
  5. 5Submit the app for moderation, then publish to Bitrix24 Market after approval

Authentication & security

  • Primary auth: OAuth 2.0

  • Security review: Required
  • Apps are submitted for moderation and must pass Bitrix's rules review before publication; local single-account apps can bypass listing.
  • Bitrix24 moderators review submissions, usually within about 2-3 business days, with a per-region chat to resolve issues before publication.
  • REST API enforces per-method operation throttling; exact ceilings depend on plan and method.
