## Get started in three steps

Follow this guide to get your project onto the CraftingStudio Pro marketplace.

### Step 1: Create an Account

First, you need a developer account.

  <Accordion icon="user-plus" title="Register on the platform">
    Go to the [Registration Page](https://craftingstudiopro.de/register) and create your free developer account. Don't forget to confirm your email address to unlock all features.

### Step 2: Prepare your Plugin

Make sure your project is ready for the community.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="puzzle-piece" title="Compile and Document">
    Compile your project as a `.jar` or `.zip` file. We recommend preparing a clear description and some high-quality screenshots to showcase your work.

</AccordionGroup>

### Step 3: Upload & Release

Time to go live!

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="cloud-arrow-up" title="Upload via Dashboard">
    Head over to your [Developer Dashboard](https://craftingstudiopro.de/dashboard/plugins/new) and start the upload process. Once submitted, our team will review your resource for quality and security.
