Seller Account

Hi

I spent quite a long time in my spare time creating an extension that I use on my site and I think others would use too. I then went to add it to the Opencart Extension Directoy as a paid app which entails filling out a simple form. I did this some days ago and have heard nothing!

So, I'm wondering should I upload the extension first (but with publish="no") in order for the site admins to review or is it normal for them to take a week plus?

I'm just getting a bit anxious having spent so much time including checking compatibility with different versions of Opencart etc.

Thanks in advance for any advice on this.

Hi,

I am facing the same problem... Have you been activated by now? How long did it take?

best,
Stefan

we are not taking on any new sellers due to many people stealing other peoples work.

That is no good news... Do you see any changes to this policy in the forseeable future?

Is it unbounded decision or will be reviewed in future?

will be reviewed when i have more time and resources.

It's not too prompt to ask you review policy?

This is not good. Please enable it soon.

Hi is there a ETA when you are going to reopen it?
Thank you

This is extremely annoying.
We have spent many hours and used money into developing extensions for Opencart. We have pushed the platform to our customers and advised them to change to this platform and now when we want to sell our products to the community this is not possible.

This is bad for many reasons:

1. You don't show any message on the account page that can announce the developers about your decision.
This shows a lack of respect towards us as developers.

2. This is, or it should least be, a healthy community build around you as company (person) and us the developers that help to make your product known and bring added value to the product trough the extensions developed.

3. This is not a hobby for many developers and companies that work on Opencart and the same way you are making a profit on your work we will like also to be able to do the same. Your policy is discriminatory against the developers that want to sell something but did not registered until a few months ago as sellers. Developers that already are in the system can sell maybe worse products just because the user is not having a choice.

I think that a more transparent approval process with clear deadlines can help both sides, again we are not kids playing with pretend projects, we need to be able to plan a functional business model.

Moreover, the 'Seller Account' section in 'My account' still alive. No messages, no warning, no any notification about endless waiting for account approval...

thats quite too much for me! by the way i think they have their own reason fot it, but you still can make your profit through your own website like giving a discount if buy directly from you etc..

and yet you must have your seller account active first :p
mine still waiting for approval and that sad to know since i've been developing ocextenison over 2 years
