Installation Guide for SlashSnip Chrome Extension

Install SlashSnip from the distribution source described on this page, pin the extension, then verify the starter shortcut and menu trigger before relying on it for daily work.

What is the current install status?

Use this page as the installation guide for SlashSnip. SlashSnip does not have a live Chrome Web Store listing. Install using the steps below, or the link from your license email.

• If you already have an internal build or unpacked package, install from that source.
• Treat this page and the link from a license email as the current distribution sources.

What the install flow should look like

1. Install SlashSnip from the distribution source described on this page.
2. Pin the extension so the popup is one click away.
3. Confirm the first-run flow opens correctly.

After a clean install, SlashSnip should open the /welcome page in a new tab. That page is now part of the real runtime lifecycle, not just a dormant marketing route.

What you should verify after install

• The popup opens without errors.
• The starter snippet //hello exists.
• Typing /// opens the snippet menu.
• The Side Panel can be enabled from the extension UI.
• The welcome page explains the same trigger system as the docs.

What is shipped today

• Local-first snippets stored in Chrome storage.
• Direct insert with //shortcut.
• Browse menu with ///.
• Optional alias triggers @@shortcut and @@@.
• Clipboard history, categories, import/export, and localized UI.

What is publicly available now

• Public checkout for PRO at slashsnip.com/pricing (Stripe-secured, live since 31 March 2026).
• Public account dashboard at slashsnip.com/account — check license status, open customer portal.
• Customer portal for subscription management (accessible from Account page with licenseKey + customerEmail).
• Lifetime PRO offer (one-time payment, founding launch promotion) — live on /pricing at $149 with cap-limited availability. Runtime verification still continues through the paid-proof and refund/revocation runbooks.

Current product boundaries

• SlashSnip does not provide cloud sync or shared team libraries. Move snippets between browser profiles or devices with export/import.
• SlashSnip does not have a live Chrome Web Store listing; use this installation guide instead.

If you already have a license key

SlashSnip supports license activation for keys delivered via Stripe checkout or private/early-access channels.

If you received a key directly, open the extension dashboard and go to Settings -> License & PRO, then paste the key in the activation field.

See the current pricing details in the plan guide, the current account boundary on the account page, and the full runtime details in the license activation guide.

After installation, continue with the quick-start checklist to verify the starter shortcut, menu trigger, and first real workflow.
