Does ExtensionPay support Chrome extensions installed via Developer Mode (not published in Chrome Web Store)? #325

Hi! My extension cannot be published in the Chrome Web Store, so customers will install it via Developer Mode (Load unpacked). |

If you look at the source of ExtPay, you can see that dev mode is only enabled for extensions that are installed unpacked in developer mode. Any other mode of installation should therefore have live-mode payments enabled, such as when a user installs from a web store or installs via a packaged CRX. The latter is what you should use to distribute your extension outside of an online web store. Not only will it work with ExtPay but it's a better experience for your users. |
