 * Hi everyone
 * Can anyone please shed a light for me as I am totally new to woo plugin world.
   
   I want to outsource developing a marketing plugin for woocommerce. This plugin
   needs to communicate with external cloud database and access to this database
   is planned to be made through APIs. Any woo user who downloads the plugin gets
   a free version for basic features and for the advanced features they need to 
   subscribe. Access to these APIs are granted through Auth codes and hence I need
   to provide subscribed users an Auth code during installation.
 * My questions are
 * 1- Does woo marketplace allows me to publish my plugin in the sense that the 
   plugin comes with a subscription choice that needs the user to contact my business
   for purchasing the unique Auth code.
    2- How should be the installation workflow
   in the sense that the user is presented with free and subscription based choices
   and if subscription based choice is selected then the user needs an Auth code.
 * Thanks
    Ray

 * This forum is focused on supporting the core WooCommerce plugin, so its not the
   best place to make those enquires. wordpress.org supports free WordPress software.
   For commercial software, you’ll need to contact the vendor through their site.
 * Please review:
    [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/marketplace-overview/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/marketplace-overview/)
   and contact woocommerce.com through the links on that page.
