VS Code Marketplace

Why launch on VS Code Marketplace?

Developer tools delivered as an extension. The audience is visual studio code developers, and the listing is a marketplace. The main distribution channel for VS Code extensions, with strong in-editor search discovery. The competition is heavy, so a narrow job and a good README matter.

How to submit to VS Code Marketplace

1. Make sure your product page is live, fast and clear about who it is for.
2. Prepare a short tagline, a longer description, a logo and two or three screenshots.
3. Open the VS Code Marketplace submission page and create the listing.
4. Fill in the audience, category and pricing fields as accurately as you can; they decide who sees the listing.
5. After publishing, check the live URL and add it to your own launch page or press kit.

What to prepare

• A one-line description and a 50–100 word summary.
• A square logo and a 16:9 screenshot of the product in use.
• A public pricing page, even if the answer is “free”.
• A founder or maker profile so people can see who built it.
• A tagged URL so you can measure the referral traffic.

Pricing and link policy

Pricing: Free to publish extensions.

Link policy: Nofollow. Check the platform before you pay; rules change, and the value is the audience and referral traffic, not only the link attribute.
