Create a public app by scaffolding with Shopify CLI or creating an app in the Dev Dashboard.
Don't install the app on your dev store before converting it to a sales channel. You won't be able to convert the app into a sales channel app if the app has been installed.

Turning an app into a sales channel is a process that can't be reversed. If you no longer want your app to be a sales channel, then you'll need to re-create it.
Convert your app to a sales channel:
- From your app's overview screen, click API access requests.
- In the Turn your app into a sales channel section, click Turn app into sales channel.
- Click Turn app into sales channel again in the pop-up to confirm that you want to convert your app into a sales channel.
- Click Save.
After you've turned your app into a sales channel app, you can install it on your storefront through the CLI or the Partner Dashboard.
