Demo

FusionStore supports buyers in getting an immediate self-service access to the standard installation demo of the application, in order to facilitate building interest in the application and expedite the sales process. The access to this demo is only available for users of FusionStore who have undergone a thorough verification process by the Finastra teams, proving they belong to a Financial Institution.

At this step, you can optionally provide the link to your demo URL - sandbox installation or pre-recorded videos of the demo of the application. FusionStore will always append a JWT token to the specified demo URL so that the application owner could optionally validate navigation and gather visitor insights. The details of how to achieve this are provided below.

Demo recommendations for different application types:

  • Web application - Direct demo URL
  • Windows application - VM connection through a browser
  • Mobile application - Emulator URL
  • API application - Postman URL or other web client
  • If none available, recorded video of the demo of the application

Once the demo URL is specified, you can provide the instructions to the buyers, around authentication access or usage of the demo of the application. You can include a rich text description, upload the instructions manual or a combination of both for the buyer to read.

Demo

Steps to validate the FusionStore demo navigation using JWT token

  • As a verified user, log in to FusionStore
  • Select the app and click on a Demo button (if available)
  • Check JWT token (e.g. on jwt.io) from the ‘ffdcDemoCode’ parameter appended to the original demo url
  • Verify public key signature against JWKS: store.fusionfabric.cloud/store/jwks
  • If signature verified, authenticate that payload is fine & allow the user to proceed to app demo instance.

It is recommended for the application to propagate the JWT token to subsequent navigational pages for re-verification. If a demo url is not a direct link then the token should be retrieved before the redirection.
