This topic describes how to create and manage a SaaS application on the Tuya Developer Platform.
Create a SaaS application
You can easily create a SaaS application based on a desired template. If the platform templates do not meet your requirements, you can choose to manually create a SaaS application.
Method 1: Template-based creation
- Log in to the Tuya Developer Platform.
- In the left-side navigation pane, choose Cloud > SaaS Development > SaaS Management.
- Choose to create a project using either the General SaaS Template or the Vertical Industry SaaS Template based on your needs. Click Creating SaaS Through Templates to proceed to the specific template selection process.

- In the dialog that appears, select the tab for the desired template type and choose a specific template. For example, the HVAC Device Management System under the Vertical Industry SaaS Template. Hover over the template and then click Use It Now.

- You are navigated to the creation page. Set up the SaaS name and click Create Now.

Method 2: Manual creation
-
Log in to the Tuya Developer Platform.
-
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Cloud > SaaS Development > SaaS Management.
-
Below the template options, on the right side, click Create Manually.
-
In the dialog that appears, complete the following configurations:
- SaaS Name: Enter the SaaS name. You can modify it later.
- Where are SaaS services deployed: This information cannot be edited after the SaaS is successfully created. For specific deployment options, refer to Configure Integration & Deployment.
- Which cloud development project data is used as core data for the SaaS: You can create a cloud project or select an existing cloud project.

After configuration is completed, click OK.
