Listing

This document covers the process for making your extension discoverable and installable through the marketplace after deployment. Once your extension is built and registered with a Bundle URL, the final step is completing your listing, selecting visibility settings, and submitting for review.

1. Fill in the listing fields

Open your extension in the admin dashboard and complete the Listing tab. Every field below is part of the marketplace metadata that prospective installers see when browsing or evaluating your extension.

FieldRequiredWhat it's for
IconYesSquare image rendered on browse cards and the detail page. Square aspect ratio, transparent background recommended.
Short descriptionYesOne-line summary used on browse cards and search results. Keep it under ~120 characters.
Long descriptionYesMarkdown body for the extension detail page. Cover what the extension does, the problem it solves, and any setup requirements. Screenshots and links allowed.
ScreenshotsRecommendedImage gallery shown on the detail page. Pick views that demonstrate the extension actually working in a host application.
CategoriesYesOne or more curated categories from the platform taxonomy (e.g., commerce, loyalty, crm, productivity, marketing, employee, other). Drives marketplace browse filters.
TagsOptionalFreeform searchable tags. Used for keyword search across the marketplace.
PublisherAutoPulled from your organization profile — the org name shown as the listing's publisher. Update your org profile in the dashboard if this needs to change.

Tip: The icon and screenshots are what make a listing feel real. A placeholder icon and no screenshots is the single biggest reason listings get a "needs more info" review response.

2. Choose a visibility mode

Every listing has a visibility setting that controls who can install it:

VisibilityWho can find and install it
PublicAnyone browsing the marketplace. Goes through full marketplace review. Best for extensions you want available to everyone.
ProtectedOnly organizations you explicitly add to the allowed orgs list. The listing is hidden from public browse; people you've allowed see it in their marketplace as if it were public. Best for private/internal extensions, paid customers, or staged rollouts.

Visibility can be changed later from the same Listing tab. Switching from ProtectedPublic triggers a fresh marketplace review.

3. Submit for review

Click Submit for review. The platform runs a two-stage review:

Stage 1 — Automated Bundle scan

Runs immediately on submit. The platform fetches your bundle from the registered Bundle URL and runs deterministic checks:

  • Bundle reachable, valid manifest.json, sane bundle size
  • Declared permissions match observed capability usage
  • Declared targets match the surfaces your code actually registers
  • Declared allowedDomains match the endpoints data.fetch actually hits
  • No use of forbidden browser globals (document, window.location, etc.)

Findings come back categorized as error, warning, or info. Errors must be fixed before the listing can move forward. Warnings don't block submission but factor into the review.

Stage 2 — Advanced review + Stackable approval

If Stage 1 passes, the platform runs an advanced review of your bundle — framework analysis, permission surface, network behavior, and any security-relevant findings get scored and assessed against your listing content. From there, Stackable will either:

  • Approve — your listing moves to Published and becomes installable.
  • Request changes — you'll see structured feedback on the listing page. Address it, re-deploy if needed, and resubmit.

Most reviews complete within a few business days. You'll get an email when the status changes; the listing's review status is also visible in the admin dashboard at all times.

Review status lifecycle

StatusMeaning
DraftListing is being edited; not submitted.
Pending reviewSubmitted; waiting on Stage 1 + Stage 2 + Stackable approval.
RejectedStackable requested changes. Address the feedback and resubmit.
PublishedLive in the marketplace. Installable per your visibility setting.
SuspendedPulled from the marketplace by Stackable (security issue, ToS violation, etc.). Contact support.

After publishing

Re-deploys to the same Bundle URL don't require re-submission — your existing Instances pick up the new bundle automatically. Listing edits (description, screenshots, categories, visibility) and major version bumps do go through review again. Patch updates that don't change permissions, targets, or allowedDomains typically clear review quickly.
