How do I become an approved seller for paid plugins?

Hi ​@Vexy by Fontlab — welcome to Figma Forum, and thanks for your interest!

Here’s the short answer on eligibility: We're not approving new creators to sell paid files on Community at this time. That's why your publishing form only shows the free resource license and there's no seller application to submit. This article is the best place to watch, since we'll keep it updated as things evolve: About selling Community resources.

In the meantime, you can still publish your plugin to Community for free. Here's the full walkthrough, including how the review process works and where you'll be notified: Publish classic plugins to the Figma Community.

I also touched base with the Platform Support team — they've received your request (ticket ID: 2045275). They’ll be in touch with an update specific to your submission as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience, and I hope that clears things up! Feel free to reply here if any questions remain on the above.

Well, this doesn’t clarify much. You say that you are “not approving new creators to sell paid files,” but I’m not going to sell files — I’m going to sell plugins. Is there any difference between the two?

If you are not interested in selling any new plugins, would it be OK to add some monetization options to a “free” plugin? Would there be any conflict between the “free” license and our actual license, which requires payment for certain plugin features — for example, to keep the plugin working for longer than seven days?

Sorry if these questions seem stupid, but I’m completely lost ))

Thank you for opening a support ticket for me. I really appreciate it!

Hey ​@Vexy by Fontlab — thanks for your patience, and good news: Yes, there's a real difference between the two.

The pause on new sellers applies to paid files. Selling plugins is open — the only requirement is being able to set up a Stripe account in a Stripe-supported country. Here's the guide: Activate your Stripe account.

You're clear to go the paid plugin route. Give that a look and let me know if you hit any blockers.

Appreciate you sticking with me as I double checked on this one.

Hi Tom, 

This is great news! 

But here is the question: when I follow the “Activate your Stripe account” link, the first thing I see is this:
 

Who can use this feature

Users who have been approved to sell resources on Community

And my question for this topic is exactly this: “How do I become an approved seller for paid plugins?”  :)

Best regards,

Hello again, ​@Vexy by Fontlab — thanks for the follow-up and I see what you mean. All users are approved to sell plugins, as long as they are able to set up a Stripe account. I've raised your note with the Platform Support team, who confirmed this, and I've flagged the article wording for review.

To get you set up properly, they'd like to take a closer look with you directly. I've just opened a conversation via the email tied to your Figma account — keep an eye out for a message from me (case: 2050936) with next steps. The team will take it from there.
