Marketplace

When a module author wants to release their module on plentyMarketplace, what they release is called an extension. The two terms aren't interchangeable: every extension is a module, but not every module is an extension — only the ones distributed through the marketplace.

Not releasing to the marketplace?

If your module should simply always be active once installed, none of this applies — just follow the regular Modules guides.

Being a published extension changes two things compared to a regular module:

• Required meta information. On top of being a valid Nuxt module, an extension needs an extension.config.ts so the gates above have something to check, plus a marketplace.json and a meta/ folder of icons, previews, and docs so it can actually be listed — see Setup.

• Activation is conditional. PlentyONE tracks which extensions have been activated for a given shop, and @plentymarkets/shop-core fetches that list once per server request. Your code needs to check it before running — see Gates.

Once the extension is set up, publish it to the marketplace.
