Arduino Store Opens For Beta Testers
We are thrilled to announce that as of today the official Arduino Store opens to beta testers. This restricted testing phase will be followed by a gradual release to the whole community.
It was quite and effort that required the redesign of our web infrastructure to unify the authentications systems to provide a uniform user experience.
The store is just at its beginning but it is already available in three languages English, Spanish and Italian. More languages will follow soon. It will become a place where to find the best products made by Arduino, its partners and all those companies or individuals who make great Arduino-compatible products.
We wanted to take this chance to reward the people who contribute the most to the Arduino community.
We’ll be starting with the forums. The top 5 contributors to the english forums and 1 member of each non-english forum will receive a 200 USD voucher to spend on the store.
As the test progresses we will be providing more vouchers to other kind of contributors (developers , documentation writers and more).
Stay tuned and thank you for your patience!

What defines a beta tester? Do they need to have previously applied or been asked?

Can’t wait to see… New boards? Built in RTC, more memory?

I also want to know. I have some website development experience (although its Joomla experience). Plus I can help with documentation or something.
But this is very exciting. All the best with the testing etc.

Great! I’ll surely be buying a new Arduino board some time soon, so if you need one more beta tester, sign me up!

There isn’t any store link. The store is being tested be some Arduino user for some more time: it’s going to be launched next week.
Thanks for commenting,

Is it really going to be launched this week? I need a new UNO and maybe a MEGA, so I might wait and see shipping costs and board prices.
Hope shipping is good cause right now having to pay 8 euros when buying a 23euros Arduino UNO is a killer.
