# App Installation Options

Overview of the different ways to surface integrations to your users, including the In-App Marketplace, Live Link, and Auth Link.

Once an integration is created using Pandium, there are several ways to surface it to your users for installation.

| Option                                                                                | Best For                                                             | Requires Marketplace? |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| [Auth Link](https://docs.pandium.com/marketplaces/app-installation-options/auth-link) | Sending users directly to authenticate a connector                   | No                    |
| [In-App Marketplace](#in-app-marketplace)                                             | Public discovery and self-service installation                       | Yes                   |
| [Live Link](https://docs.pandium.com/marketplaces/app-installation-options/live-link) | Directing users to a specific integration (published or unpublished) | Yes                   |

## In-App Marketplace

The [In-App Marketplace](https://www.pandium.com/in-app-marketplace) is Pandium's embedded marketplace where your users can discover, install, and manage integrations independently.

### Publishing an Integration

You can publish an integration to your marketplace in two ways:

**Option 1: During integration creation**

While [creating an integration](https://docs.pandium.com/integration-hub/creating-an-integration), navigate to "Marketplace Setup."

**Option 2: From an existing integration**

Click "Details" on any integration within the "Integrations" tab.

Within "Marketplace Setup," toggle the publish setting on or off.

### End-User Experience

Once published, users can discover and install the integration from your marketplace.

## Choosing Between Auth Link and Live Link

Use [**Auth Link**](/marketplaces/app-installation-options/auth-link.md) when you want to:

* Bypass the marketplace entirely
* Send users directly to an OAuth or credential entry flow
* Allow users to authenticate without accessing the Integration Hub

Use [**Live Link**](/marketplaces/app-installation-options/live-link.md) when you want to:

* Direct users to a specific integration page in your marketplace
* Share access to an unpublished or beta integration
* Keep users within the standard marketplace installation flow

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pandium.com/marketplaces/app-installation-options.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
