All about Salesforce App Exchange

AppExchange is Salesforce's marketplace for apps, Lightning components, Flow solutions, and more.

AppExchange provides a variety of options for every Salesforce cloud and product, including solutions that integrate with Salesforce to expand its capabilities and consultants who are specialized professionals adept at designing and implementing custom solutions tailored to specific industries or business requirements.

Different types of App Exchange Solutions

Apps

These ready-to-install third-party applications are created by partners and Salesforce employees to boost productivity and growth through a proven ecosystem of pre-integrated apps with millions of installs and customer reviews.

Many AppExchange apps are free; to find them, go to the All Apps page and sort by "Free" using the left menu filters, or access the Free Apps collection from the All Apps menu.

Components

Components are building blocks for creating apps and custom pages in Lightning using clicks, not code. They are responsive and reusable and work in Lightning App Builder with drag-and-drop functionality. Since they contain all the necessary code, you can reuse them in other apps and pages.

You can also find a wide range of powerful components built by Salesforce partners here

Bolt Solutions

Bolts are pre-built templates for Salesforce Communities, designed to help you deploy industry solutions and communities more quickly.

Created by an ecosystem of partners, Bolt solutions include industry process flows, apps, Lightning components, and Communities, all seamlessly integrated with the Salesforce platform.
