# Guidelines for 3rd-Party Extensions

 Developers are welcome and encouraged to make extensions for Easy Digital Downloads. Here are some guidelines to follow when creating an extension.

#### Naming 3rd-Party Extensions

 3rd-party extensions should use the naming convention "Extension Name for Easy Digital Downloads".

 This is standard practice for other plugins that have 3rd-party add ons and helps differentiate between our official extensions and 3rd-party extensions.

 Please do not use the naming convention "Easy Digital Downloads - Extension Name", as it's used for official Easy Digital Download extensions.

#### Easy Digital Downloads Branding

 If you are referencing the Easy Digital Downloads brand, please use the proper [assets](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/brand-assets/) (logos & color scheme).

####  WordPress.org Guidelines

 Every plugin should follow the official WordPress.org repository guidelines; in regards to EDD extensions, make sure you read [Plugins must respect trademarks, copyrights, and project names](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/#17-plugins-must-respect-trademarks-copyrights-and-project-names).

#### Settings

 3rd-party extensions should place your EDD specific settings under Downloads → Settings → Extensions → Your Extension Name. To see an example of how to register your subsection and settings, you can reference this Gist:
