Marketplace and publishing

What is it?

A catalog of packages (plugins, themes, templates, country and industry packs) you can install, and a way to publish your own.

What exists today

• Package manifest: name, version, type, dependencies, license text.
• Register a draft, publish (blocked until every dependency is published), withdraw a draft, browse the catalog, see your own listings at any status, reviews.
• Install and upgrade from the catalog or a file.
• Private, tenant-specific plugins by installing without listing.
• Themes travel as .theme packages.

Step by step: publish

1. Build and test the plugin (Publish); consider "shipSource": false to protect source.
2. Marketplace, register the package with its manifest.
3. Publish once its dependencies are published.
4. Others install it; later versions upgrade under the upgrade guard.

Planned (placeholders)

Pricing and billing, plugin signing, formal security certification, public/private visibility tiers and review moderation. Planned (the certification step depends on Security scanning).
