Is there a way to implement Adaptive Cards onto a Sharepoint Online site without the "Microsoft 365 Developer Program"?

Question

Hi guys,

I'm new to the Microsoft development environment - I was wondering if it was possible to implement Adaptive Cards onto a Sharepoint Online site without the "Microsoft 365 Developer Program"?

I'm looking to use adaptive cards as a web part on my SharePoint sites and from my research, it seems like the start requires you to be subscribed to the Microsoft 365 Developer Program. I was wondering if there was a workaround if you don't have the subscription.

Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Bill Long ,
We need to build SharePoint Adaptive Card by Extension project. Currently there is no Adaptive Cards we can use without development. Since Adaptive Card Extensions use Microsoft's Adaptive Card Framework to generate UI with its declarative JSON schema, you only need to focus on your component's business logic and let the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) handle making your component look good and work across all platforms.
Please refer to following steps to build your Adaptive Card
