How do I actually apply to sell a paid plugin? Support chat pointed to a page with no application

Hey,

I built a plugin, G-paint, a geometric shape grid generator for icons and patterns. The web version is live at https://g-paint.com

I want to publish it as paid. There's no Metrics tab or Set up Stripe on my profile (@idanshani), and I've never had an approval email.

Fig told me two things: that the "not approving new creators" note applies to paid files and not to paid plugins, and that I should apply through the "selling resources on Community" guide.

But that guide has no application in it. The only thing it says about approval is that new creators aren't being approved for paid files.

So how does someone actually get approved to sell a plugin? Is there a form, or does it have to be enabled manually on the account?

I'm on a Starter plan so email support isn't open to me, which is why I'm asking here.

thanks
Idan

Hi Idan,

You’re correct: if you want to sell plugins/widgets, you do not need approval. As long as you’re located in an eligible country, you should be able to set up Stripe.
(Please also note, if you want to sell files, we currently are not accepting new applications, nor do we have a waitlist, the program is closed for now.)

Since the Metrics tab and Set up Stripe option are missing from your profile, please email directly content-reviews@figma.com from the email address associated with your Figma account. Include your Community profile and mention that you’re trying to sell a paid plugin. The team can then review your account setup.

Thanks for flagging this, and apologies for any confusion here!
