All I want to do is create an authentication link, do I need to make a public marketplace app?

I am trying to get oauth tokens from stores. My workflow will be presenting them with the authentication link to click, and then the rest is Api scheduling on our end. I don’t need webhooks, and I don’t want a marketplace presence.

Do I really need to create an app with descriptions and images (and a $99 processing fee) to make an app on a marketplace that no one will see?

Hello PaulElrich, Run Your Pool Login

You can create and register an OAuth App under your personal account or under any organization you have administrative access to. While creating your OAuth app, remember to protect your privacy by only using information you consider public.

In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, then click Settings.

  1. In the left sidebar, click Developer settings.

  2. In the left sidebar, click OAuth Apps.

  3. Click New OAuth App.

  4. In “Application name”, type the name of your app.

  5. In “Homepage URL”, type the full URL to your app’s website.

  6. Optionally, in “Application description”, type a description of your app that users will see.

  7. In “Authorization callback URL”, type the callback URL of your app.

  8. If your OAuth App will use the device flow to identify and authorize users, click Enable Device Flow. For more information about the device flow, see “Authorizing OAuth Apps.”

  9. Click Register application.

Thanks
