Yes, its definitely possible and no there is no payment to ST required. There has been some talk about doing a full community run store:

> [@Developer run smartapp/device store](https://community.smartthings.com/t/developer-run-smartapp-device-store/23080):

> I’m posting this to see how much support a developer run smartapp/device store would have. My rough concept is as follows. A website for payed smartapps and devices with PayPal to handle payment processing. Features would include,( if possible) try before you buy, reviews, auto update, support request, screen shots, and Faq. To keep things simple developers would be charged a fixed price per transaction like $0.10 and (hopefully) be able to charger users more than $1.00 to buy and use various smartapps and devices. What do you guys/gals think?

…but I don’t think anyone has taken action yet. We could probably set something up on the wiki to do this until someone has time to setup a proper store. I’ll think about what it would require to do this via the wiki over the weekend.
