3. Plugin Package

Follow the instructions in Package a UXP plugin to create a .ccx package file. Make sure to review the plugin's ID recommendations.

Submit the listing

1. Public Profile

Create a publisher profile in the Developer Distribution portal before the first submission. Follow the getting-started documentation for account setup.

If the portal displays Permission Required, ask the Admin Console administrator to grant your enterprise account the Developer role, or sign in with a personal Adobe ID.

Add the Public name, Marketing website, Description, and Publisher logo. Check the branding guidelines before saving the profile.

In the Commerce tab of the Publisher Profile page, you'll be asked to register with Adobe's third-party payment provider, FastSpring, and enter your FastSpring key. This will allow the Creative Cloud Marketplace to pay for your plugin's sales and transfer the royalties to your FastSpring account.

2. Create a New Listing

In Developer Distribution, select Create New Listing.

Select Creative Cloud desktop plugin, then select Next.

Choose the target Creative Cloud application and select Next.

If you already have published or draft listings, you can select them from the dropdown menu and click on Continue with existing Plugin; otherwise, click on Create a new listing.

The portal generates the plugin ID. Store this value, add it to the plugin manifest, then select Continue to your listing.

3. Plugin Details

Open Listing Details and complete the General, Localizations, Media, Tags, and Services sections with the material prepared earlier.

4. Add a New Version

For every plugin version you submit (including the first one), you have to upload the .ccx package file prepared earlier.

Fill in the required fields (Supported languages, Version details, Screenshots...) in all the tabs. For your first submission, you must submit listing details and a new version together; after publishing, you can submit an update to the listing details, or a new version, independently from each other.

Select Submit for review, inspect the summary, and add reviewer instructions and testing credentials. Preview the Marketplace listing before submitting.

You have the option to have your plugin automatically published after the review process is complete, or manually publish it later.

Select Submit listing to enter review. Adobe aims to respond within 10 business days with approval or requested changes. See the review guidelines for the evaluation criteria.
