Everything you need to ship
From scaffolding to first sale, the developer experience is designed to stay out of your way.
SDK-first development
Build on the internal TypeScript plugin SDK with full type safety, Vitest, and hot-reload in your local tenant. A CLI scaffolding tool (npx create-velocms-plugin) is on the V2 roadmap.
Isolated sandbox
Your code runs in a V8 isolate — no shared heap, no credential leaks, no breaking other tenants.
80/20 revenue split
Keep 80% of every sale. Stripe handles payouts. No invoicing headaches — funds land in your account automatically.
Built-in audience
List your plugin and reach VeloCMS's growing tenant base without any marketing spend.
Fast review pipeline
Automated stages 1–4 complete in under 10 minutes. Human review finishes within 1–3 business days.
Ratings + reviews
Verified installs mean real feedback. High-rated plugins surface at the top of the marketplace.
Current API (advanced)
The plugin SDK types live in src/lib/plugins/sdk/. These first-party plugins are the canonical reference for building integrations today.
analytics-googleGA4 + Plausible tracking — shows how to inject a script tag into blog pages without affecting Lighthouse scores.
newsletter-mailchimpMailchimp audience sync — demonstrates authenticated HTTP calls, encrypted API key handling (P-023), and error surfaces in admin UI.
table-of-contentsLive TOC page builder block — shows how a plugin registers a custom block type and renders a React component in the page builder.
Roadmap: CLI coming in V2. A npx create-velocms-plugin scaffolding tool is planned for V2 alongside the isolated-VM sandbox and Stripe Connect marketplace. Follow GitHub Discussions for progress updates.
