The Divi Marketplace is now available!

On 6 February 2020, Nick Roach (CEO of ElegantThemes) announced the next arrival of the Divi Marketplace... Today, it is official: the Divi's official market place for products is already accessible! I suggest you take a closer look at the consequences of this major project...

1 – What is the Divi Marketplace?

The Divi Marketplace is the official repository modules, child themes and layouts (Layouts) proposed by developers or third-party companies.

It is a place where any user "lovers of Divi" (developers, designers, WebDesigners...) can make available, from the Divi community, resources that he has created. And this way Free or paid.

This looks a bit like Apple's App Store or WordPress plugin directory, but in "Divi version". That's pretty good news!

2 - Divi MarketPlace: a guarantee of quality?

It is legitimate to ask the question, because market places which sell resources for DiviThere are lots of them! And because, the "Divi market" is rather popular in the world of WebDesign and within the WordPress community. Many third-party companies rely on the success of the Divi theme to try to generate revenue.

The Divi Marketplace should then be authoritative. The company ElegantThemes ensures that the code, design and testing for ensuring product quality which must meet specific standards.

I guess they'd better check every product submission because it's their reputation that comes into play!

So, yes, buy a third party product on the Divi Marketplace is certainly reassuring for the end customer. This is a real guarantee of quality, especially as the platform commits to refund the customer within 30 days if not satisfied.

3 – What do we find in this market place of Divi's products?

The products offered on the Divi Marketplace are very varied. At the same time, the Divi ecosystem is itself very varied!

In fact, you will find everything that can help you build quality sites with Divi:

• The modules additional for the Divi Builder
• The extensions for Divi or Add-ons
• The child themes for Divi
• The layouts for Divi (pre-built pages) or for Theme Builder

In short, you understand, you will find many resources that will certainly help you in designing your web projects.

4 - The Divi Marketplace and free products

The platform was launched today and we already find some free products. It's already a good start. The "tariff cursor" allows you to filter the results in function of the rates. We find some nice products such as Popups for Divi, which you certainly know.

Let us hope however that the number of free products will increase over time! The future will tell us...

If I were Elegantthemes, I would force them to cThis would make the catalogue bigger quickly and allow all Divi users to access this market place, right?

5 - What impacts for unofficial marketplaces?

In the beginning, one might think of unfair competition against the market places Divi already established in the medium such as Aspen Grove Studio, BeSuperfly, Divi Cake or Divi Space for the best known.

While some of these markets are well known, dozens of others are in the shadows. The Divi Marketplace is precisely there to shed light on all these products a few times too little known.

Of course, with the Divi Marketplace, the market places already established could one day disappear but I imagine that the creators, on the other hand, have everything to gain from offering their products on various channels. It's a real bargain for them!

6 - How to become a "creator" on the Divi Marketplace?

If you think you can enrich the catalogue of the Divi Marketplace by offering quality resources (plugins, layouts, child themes, etc.), the process is rather simple, you just have to go to the official form to become Creator and fill in all fields to submit your application.

There are, however, some important information to consider:

• Sales Commissions: you will touch 70% for each sale.
• No exclusivity requirement: you can sell on various markets.
• Visibility: you benefit from the visibility of the Elegantthemes site and the success of Divi.
• Sales and assistance products : It is your responsibility to support customers who have purchased your products.
• Unlimited website: All products are sold with an unlimited website license (no restrictions on the number of sites that can use your products).
• Annual licence: all products are sold with an annual license. The client must renew their license to obtain updates and assistance.
• Approval requirements: products must adhere to best WordPress practices, comply with development guidelines, comply with design guidelines and be licensed under GPL.

If you meet all the criteria, you can start selling on the Divi Marketplace!

7 - How far will Divi go?

To conclude this article I ask myself and I ask you the question: How far will Divi go?

In my opinion, ElegantThemes should have created this market place earlier. They should have, too, opened IPA earlier (documentation allowing developers to create extensions and modules for the Divi Builder).

But it's never too late and in recent months/years, ElegantThemes has proved to us that we can rely heavily on the Theme Divi, as users or webmaster, without being disappointed. This theme continues to improve, update and implement always new features, all useful...

So, what's next? I can't imagine... And you?
