We may ask you to register as a Facebook Developer. This registration allows us to assign you as a tester for various applications that are in development and usually provide more features. If we're building a Facebook application on your behalf we'll almost always have you complete this step. This FAQ will walk you through the required steps.
Facebook often changes its flow, so the screen you're shown may not exactly match what you're seeing. Either way, the setup is reasonably straightforward.
1. Navigate to developers.facebook.com
Navigate your way to developers.facebook.com . There's a 'Log In' link towards the top-right of the page. Select it.
2. Login With Facebook
You will be presented with a login screen. Log in with your personal profile (all your business assets are associated with this account).
3. Login to Facebook
Enter your personal profile details. Click 'Log In'.
4. Get Started
Click the 'Get Started' link towards the top-right of the page.
5. Click "Continue"
You will be presented with a basic welcome screen. Click "Continue".
6. Verify Your Account
You will be asked to verify your account by way of a phone text or email code. Enter your details as required.
7. Verify Your Email
You may be asked to verify your email. Opt into the developer marketing communications if you're interested in related news.
8. Select Developer
Sign up as a developer. Select 'Developer ' and click 'Complete Registration'.
9. No Apps... Yet
You will be presented with an empty screen that says 'No Apps' or similar. You won't be required to create your own application just yet.
You can move onto the next step.
10. Let Us Know
Once the registration is complete, let us know and we'll probably 'friend' you (even if for a short time) to make identification easier. We'll add you to the 'Tester' program and we'll then advise when this is done.
11. Accept Invitation
Once we've added you to the 'Tester' program on our end, we'll require you to log back into developers.facebook.com and accept our Application invitation. You can access pending invitation directly via this 'Requests Link '.
Conclusion
Creating an application isn't just about using some of our advanced tools. Creating an app allows you to integrate your website and broader digital experience in a way that is normally inaccessible, so we consider it an essential step.
Call us if you encounter any problems.
