How can I create a custom payments app for Shopify?

[rparies]

Hello, I am new to shopify world.

I have been tasked to create a "custom payments app"..
I am still trying to understand the correct terms.

What i am suppose to do it provide a custom payment method on checkout to a custom gateway.
From the docs it appears that a legacy Hosted Payment SDK (HPSDK) was the way to do it.
But now we are suppose to create via a "payments app"

I think I am getting closer. I assume this is the page i need to be at
https://partners.shopify.com/somenumber/apps/somenumber/extensions/create

I choose the payments tab and it says "No extensions available"


From this page https://shopify.dev/apps/payments from what it describes a Payment app is what i need to create.
This page talks about feature and technical requirements, app approvals and reviews and everything else except how to create one

I then landed on https://shopify.dev/apps/payments/creating-a-payments-app/creating-a-payments-app
Step 1 " Configuring your payments app extension for submission"

But still nowhere to say how to actually create this app extension.

I am sure this is a noob problem, but any help with where to get started with this would be greatly appreciated

Go to your APP -> Extensions -> Create + -> Offsite payment provider.

If you don't see such option then you probably have not applied yet to become a payment app developer. Can't find the application form right now, but that's something you can search for or ask support.
