A release-readiness review for a paid extension

A paid extension has two deliverables: the software package and the information that lets a buyer use it. A working feature can still create a poor purchase experience if its requirements are unclear or the delivered archive does not match the listing.

Review the package as a buyer

Download the release you intend to sell and inspect its contents. Locate the installation guide, migrations and any integration patch. Confirm that the version label identifies those exact files.

Remove development credentials, customer records and machine-specific configuration. Keep upstream license notices with any included upstream material.

Check the listing against the code

Explain the supported use case, prerequisites and tested environment. Describe optional integrations separately from features provided by the package itself.

Avoid turning a successful test on one version into a claim of compatibility with every Paymenter release or custom theme. A precise requirement is more useful to a buyer than a broad promise that cannot be verified.

Follow the purchase path

Check the displayed billing period, selected currency and applicable product terms. Confirm that the image loads and the purchase button leads to the intended product checkout.

Use controlled test facilities for payment and delivery validation. Do not create public engagement counts or pretend test purchases are customer reviews.

Verify the delivered files

After authorized fulfillment, inspect the private library as the buyer. Check filenames, guide availability, release notes and access boundaries. Another account should not gain access from a shared URL.

Use the package preparation guide and download guide as a final review. Publication is easier to support when the listing and the archive tell the same story.
