The first step is to log in to the Facebook Developers site using your personal FB account and click the Create New App button in top right corner.

You will get a popup where you need to enter the name of the App. For example, if you want the app to show a widget that displays the list of top rated products, enter something like "Top Rated Products" as App Name:

On the next step you will need to enter the captcha text. After that, you will go to the app summary page where you need to enter the required info.

First fill in the Basic Info. You can leave the Sandbox Mode enabled for now (only you as admin will see the app). Disable the Sandbox Mode only after you finish setting up the app and test everything.

Under "Select how your app integrates with Facebook" choose Page Tab:
