How and where to publish a module

[francesca]

I just finished to develop my custom module, which contains some integration functionalities for my software (through API). So the software is free (by the way, is it correct to set "MIT license: https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT" as license for the module?).

I thought I just had to put it on the marketplace and wait for the approvation process, instead I recently read that the approvation times could last more than 1/2 months, and also that the marketplace is not the right place for free modules.

So what?

Only partners can publish modules for free. I'd recommend you to upload module to GitHub and create a post.

A post on this Forum?  And in this case how does it work the approvation process? Does my module have to pass some code standards/security check or it's all left on the developer?

It's all left on the developer. 

 

Have you seen Validator tool? https://validator.prestashop.com/

If you want to offer the module for free, then create a new topic in the "Free Modules & Themes" forum...

Prestashop does not allow contributors to add free modules to the PS Addons store

You want to sell your module?  Or you want it to be free?

Hello Team,

  This will be for a monthly SaaS Pricing. 

  We already have our SaaS App in Shopify. https://apps.shopify.com/liveb4buy 

  We wanted to bring the same way to PrestaShop as well for both On-Prem and Hosted Prestashop.

Thanks and Regards,

Raj , LIVEb4buy team.

Hello, 
I too have created a module and want to sell my module,
i.e. Upload the module in the market place.
P.S. :
1.  The module passed the validation process.
2. I have created a repo for the module on github.
Now can you provide me a specific link/ procedure for the same?

Hello, we have developed a module that we would like to publish on the paid store. We are passing the form to the validator from the link https://validator.prestashop.com/
We have doubts about the licensing part. The validator returns "missing license eader". Each file must have a license section.
In case we have to sell the module how should I set these parameters?

Hi @fabcri,

you should have the headers something like this:

I hope that I could help.

yes fine, but the following section
@author PrestaShop SA <[email protected]>
* @copyright 2007-2022 PrestaShop SA
* @license http://opensource.org/licenses/afl-3.0.php Academic Free License (AFL 3.0)

shouldn't it be changed?
In particular, in the type of @license license, what should I enter if the module is to be paid for?

Hi @fabcri,

the license you want to use is up to you, like gnu, or just place a copyright statement on your code (which you should have done anyway) and add a statement to the effect that no one is allowed to use your code.

Have a nice day, Leo.
