Configure settings for the SharePoint Store

The SharePoint Store is a public marketplace that offers apps for Microsoft 365, as well as Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. Site users can access the SharePoint Store directly from a SharePoint site to browse for and add third-party apps. If a SharePoint environment has been configured to prevent users from getting apps from the SharePoint Store, users can still browse for and request apps. These requests are added to the App Requests list in the SharePoint admin center.

Specify whether users can get apps from the SharePoint Store

By default, SharePoint is configured to allow users to get or request apps from the SharePoint Store. The option to change this setting will not be enabled if you have not yet created an Apps site. For information about how to create an Apps site, see Use the Apps site to make custom business apps available for your SharePoint environment.

Even if you choose not to allow users to add apps from the SharePoint Store, they will still be able to browse the SharePoint Store and request apps.
