FAQ
plentyMarketplace is the new platform for distributing software extensions for plentymarkets developed by plentymarkets or external authors.
For some time, we have been developing the new plugin technology , creating completely new opportunities for sellers and development partners. We want to make plugins easily accessible for users and partners to ensure that everyone can benefit from the advantages the new technology offers. As a result, we created a platform that is easy to use by sellers and partners and brings them together.

In order to fully take advantage of plugins in your online store, you need to use the new Ceres online store. Our plugin technology unfortunately is not backwards compatible. However, there are also plugins that are independent from your shop, such as marketplaces or fulfilment plugins. It is possible for everyone to use those as long as they fulfil the above prerequisites.
Plugins developed by plentymarkets (such as Ceres and PayPal) and plugins from external authors will be available in the plentyMarketplace. plentymarkets will offer full support for plugins developed by plentymarkets (support will be available just as you know it from former plentymarkets features), whereas plugins developed by external authors will be supported by the authors themselves. In order to enable a quick and easy support experience, our development partners will also have access to our forum and can directly react to your concerns. Furthermore, support information will also be accessible in the plugin item in the plentyMarketplace.
