Amazon will launch a new app store for third party marketplace sellers, to house the burgeoning suite of software apps that sellers are already using to manage their Amazon sales channel. According to CNET, Amazon will launch the app store slowly to sellers starting next week. “The app store will allow us to validate our value proposition and get in front of millions of other sellers. If the app store is anything like Amazon’s existing Solution Provider Network portal that aggregates services for merchants, the vetting requirements for software developers will be fairly strict. News of the new app store comes right off the back of new research suggesting that revenues from online marketplaces will more than double in revenue by 2022.
