Salesforce licenses - salesforce

I'm struggling to get the best choice for me in terms of kind of license I need. I just want to connect my website using chatter through OAuth2 as well as I have been developing a canvas app. Everything has been done with my developer account in Salesforce but I have been wondering if I need to purchase any kind of salesforce license to use it. Even I have been wondering if I need a new license to upload my canvas app to salesforce appexchange.
I will be really grateful if someone could tell me something about it because I don't really know what I should do due to salesforce licenses are expensive.
Thank you so much

First thing I would suggest you to do is create a Partnerforce account here if you are planning to sell your app on appexchange. After that, log a case on partnerforce asking them how to go about it. They are helpful people and should be able answer your questions well.

To list the app on Salesforce you will have to follow certain steps:
1) Firstly join the DeveloperForce free.
2) Signup for Salesforce Partnership
3) Now through APO Create a Test Org and select Partner Developer Org
4) Through AppExchange you can easily publish your First app after packaging it.
5) You will also have to go through Security Review before publishing the app. After the security review you can easily be able to view your package on AppExchange.
To get live on AppExchange just these steps are to be followed or you can also take the help of any experienced or existing Salesforce partner to get complete information abput listing your app on AppExchange. They can guide and help you throughout the procedure and to pass the Security review as well of Salesforce. A well known Salesforce partner is Janbask, who provide Salesforce implementation service and can provide you assistance and consultation as well. As they are Salesforce partner so know how to complete the process.
Apart from this you can try any Salesforce learning or training institute, if you are in your learning stage who can provide you complete detail and solution of your problem. You can easily Integrate Salesforce and be able to view your app on AppExchange.

Build salesforce integration like hubspot or workbench

I'm created a connected app in salesforce and consume contacts in my application, but for this, a need a consumer key from connected app.
I would like to create an application that consumes my customers' contacts without them having to create a connected app and generate a consumer key, in order to access their list
I saw this in a hubspot integration in salesforce, where it was possible to install a hubspot package and consume the contacts, I tried to create something on the appExchange but I was unsuccessful.
Can anyone tell me a tutorial for this? I've been searching for days and I can't find anything.
without them having to create a connected app and generate a consumer
key
Good. They don't have to. Have you actually tried connecting with 1 org's client id/secret to another org? Have you hit any issues?
Think about it. You're making a new awesome mobile app that connects to Salesforce. You'll want to make it work just like that, on any phone, any SF org, without org admins having to do any installation steps. You can generate OAuth2 keys in any org, even your personal Developer Edition. You could generate them in sandbox - but they'll be deleted when you refresh it.
Check if my answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/69810951/313628 helps you understand the whole thing.
Now, there might be some things you do want in every org, maybe some config custom table... You'd have your mobile app and then maybe a Salesforce plugin published on AppExchange. But that's battle for another day and you don't need it for basic functionality.

Azure Logic App - Am Unable to "create a SugarCRM Connector API" - not found in my view of the marketplace

I am just getting started with Azure Logic Apps and want to try connecting to SugarCRM.
I was pleased to see this guidance suggesting I should be able to find the SugarCRM connector in the Azure marketplace
https://github.com/Huachao/azure-content/blob/master/articles/app-service-logic/app-service-logic-connector-sugarcrm.md
However, when I try to find it by going to the marketplace on portal.azure.com and searching for SugarCRM, I do not see the connector in the results as described in the above link.
Either it is no longer published or I am doing something wrong. Do I need to do anything special to be able to access this?
I check this on the portal I could find it, then I consult the Azure official. The response is
SugarCRM was on product plan and later was removed. So it was never formally released.
So this feature is not available, if you insist on using this you could go to feedback and vote up this feature. When there are enough people vote for it, there is more chance for it to be added. Here is the feedback link:https://feedback.azure.com/forums/287593-logic-apps/suggestions/20565706-add-sugarcrm

Salesforce integration - categorisation based on pricing plans

I am stuck as a developer trying to explore Salesforce for integrating with my CRM which is used by our clients as SaaS.
Background of what i want to achieve in the integration
The idea is that my CRM software allows many features that Salesforce does not and vice-versa. Due to this a typical client who is using my CRM (Saas) ends up using both the softwares. This ends into duplication of efforts where for eg: a customer created in my CRM has to be copied over to Salesforce manually from Salesforce UI.
The integration that i wish to provide will work like a 2 way integration where a customer created from my CRM gets created as Accounts in Salesforce and vice-versa. Same way sync of edits and deletes across the 2 system should work.
Problem that i am having
When i started exploring Salesforce integration, i found that Salesforce allows integration to be done in below ways
Apex trigger based system - I was able to achieve 2 way syncing with Salesforce and my CRM using Apex approach. But the problem is it requires me to access their web api's to send data from my CRM to Salesforce. This feature is only supported in higher pricing plans of Salesforce (Enterprise, Unlimited, Professional - you have to pay extra if you are using professional)
App based approach (eg: Slack): I am looking more towards this approach. As Slack integration works for almost all pricing plans and is supported well. What i could not conclude clearly is - how can i create an App for my CRM and get it listed on Salesforce? How does Salesforce allow an App based access from Slack to submit data into Salesforce system for lower pricing plans. Their documentation says that Api access is only available for higher pricing plans. Then how is this achieved? For eg: you can install Salesforce app into Slack and there after you can send messages to chatter service under individual accounts of Salesforce from Slack.
I am really not sure if i have given enough insight into the problem i am having. But i tried explaining as much as possible. In short i want to integrate 2 way with Salesforce and i am looking for possible solution that is supported at lower pricing plans as well. What type of integration should i go forward with?
Look into using an ETL provider that already is a salesforce technology partner (Boomi, Jitterbit, etc...).
These are already on appexchange.com, and as certified appexchange apps, can access data in salesforce Professional Edition (which does not allow open API access).

Hi – you need to keep in mind the following requirements before you start integrating SalesForce with BlueSnap;
Your SalesForce account must be an “Enterprise or Performance” or “Unlimited” Edition.
Your production BlueSnap account should be active with a PCI level of SAQ C-VT.
You need to setup your soft-descriptor, API username and Payout method in your BlueSnap account.

Salesforce Timecard entry API

I am planning to develop a salesforce mobile application for my company, which allows employees to enter their timecards on their go, I'm aware there are already few other apps by salesforce, available to do the same but I want to rebuilt it again for various reasons. Kindly let me know, if this is feasible? If feasible, kindly let me know the salesforce API which has to be used for doing the same.
The above said requirement is completely feasible. I have implemented it.Some salesforce objects required for achieving it are pse__timcardheader__c, pse__timecard__c and few Rest APIs like process/action are required. Posting the answer for the benefit of others.
