Using the Marketplace

The Marketplace is where users can find additional plugins to customize Strapi applications, and additional providers to extend plugins. The Marketplace is located in the admin panel, indicated by Marketplace icon Marketplace. In the Marketplace, users can browse or search for plugins and providers, link to detailed descriptions for each, and submit new plugins and providers.

✏️ strapi In-app Marketplace vs. Market website

The Marketplace in the admin panel displays all existing plugins, regardless of the version of Strapi they are for. All plugins can also be discoverable through the Strapi Market website.

Keep in mind however that v4 and v5 plugins are not cross-compatible, but that providers are compatible both with v4 and v5 plugins.

The Marketplace interfaceThe Marketplace interface

The Plugins and Providers tabs display each plugin/provider on individual cards containing:

  • their name, sometimes followed by either of the following badges:
    • maintained by Strapi icon to indicate it is made by Strapi,
    • verified by Strapi icon to indicate it was verified by Strapi.
  • the number of times the plugin/provider was starred on GitHub and downloaded
  • the description
  • a More ExternalLink icon button to be redirected to the Market website for additional information, including about the version of Strapi the plugin is for, and implementation instructions

In the top right corner of the Marketplace, the Submit plugin button redirects to the Strapi Market where it is possible to submit your own plugin and provider.

💡 TIPS
  • The search bar displays incremental search results based on the plugin/provider name and description.
  • Use the "Sort by" button or set filters to find plugins more easily.
