Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most in-demand plugin features to develop?

Based on our market research, highly demanded features include responsive layout generators, design-to-code converters, and design system management tools. Accessibility tools and enterprise collaboration features also show high demand. Check our Market Insights section for more detailed information.

What programming languages do I need to know?

Figma plugins are primarily built with JavaScript/TypeScript for the plugin logic and HTML/CSS for the UI. Knowledge of React or other UI frameworks can be helpful but isn't required. Our Developer Resources section provides links to official documentation and starter kits to help you get started.

How can I monetize my Figma plugin?

There are several monetization strategies available, including freemium models with premium features, subscription plans, or one-time purchases. Check our 'Distribution & Monetization' resources for detailed guides on different approaches and best practices for pricing your plugin.

How does the plugin review process work?

Figma reviews all plugins before they're published to ensure quality and security. The review process typically takes 3-5 business days. Plugins are evaluated for compliance with Figma's guidelines, security best practices, and overall quality. The 'Plugin Publishing Guide' in our resources section provides more details.

What resources are available to help me build a high-quality plugin?

We provide a comprehensive collection of resources including official Figma API documentation, starter kits, UI design templates, performance optimization guides, and best practices. Our Developer Resources section organizes these by category, from getting started to advanced development techniques.
