#Become a TastyIgniter author

Anyone with a TastyIgniter account can become an author — you'll just need to sign up first.

To get started, head to the Author Registration Page. Selling on the marketplace requires a Stripe Connect or PayPal account. You can read more in our extension guides.

1. Sign up for a free TastyIgniter account.
2. From the Account section on the homepage, click Author.
3. Connect your GitHub or Bitbucket account.
4. Once registered, you can add extensions and themes by pointing to their Git address.

Note: Extensions and themes go through review before publishing. It can take a little time, but we'll email you as soon as your item is approved or rejected.

#Managing your extensions

Head to the Author Page in your Account area to manage what you've published.

After creating a new extension, point it to a Git repository (GitHub or BitBucket).

Your new extension starts in Draft status, where you can write descriptions, upload icons, add documentation, and assign categories.

Note: Items stay invisible on the Marketplace until approved. When you're ready, click Submit for approval in the sidebar — we'll email you once it's reviewed.

#Using Composer

Most extensions need a composer.json file, especially if they depend on third-party packages.

Note: The name and type fields matter — they tell the installer exactly how to handle the dependency.

#Updating your extension

We've kept this simple: tag a new release, push it to your repository, and the marketplace platform takes care of licensing and validation for you.
