WPBay highlights selected products through featured placements across the homepage, category listings, newsletters, and promotional campaigns. Being featured offers increased visibility and can significantly boost exposure and sales. However, this placement is reserved for products that meet a high standard of quality, relevance, and presentation.

The following criteria are evaluated when selecting products for featured placement:

1. Overall Quality and Stability
Products must be fully functional, well-structured, and free from critical bugs or errors. The code should follow WordPress best practices and avoid deprecated functions, insecure patterns, or unnecessary complexity.

2. Clear Product Purpose and Target Audience
Featured products must solve a specific problem or deliver a well-defined value to users. The product should not be overly generic or indistinguishable from existing offerings. Niche utility and innovation are strong advantages.

3. High-Quality Presentation
Your product page must include a clear, compelling description, organized feature list, changelog, and at least one clean, relevant screenshot. Additional visual assets such as banners, video demos, or onboarding guides are encouraged.

4. Documentation and Onboarding
The product must include sufficient documentation for setup and usage. If the product requires configuration or includes advanced functionality, it should provide tooltips, inline help, or an onboarding wizard where appropriate.

5. Active Maintenance and Support
Featured products must be regularly maintained and updated to remain compatible with the latest versions of WordPress and PHP. Sellers must also respond promptly and professionally to support inquiries, whether through the WPBay ticket system or their own channel.

6. Licensing and SDK Compliance
Products must use the WPBay SDK for licensing and update delivery if licensing is required. Licensing must function as expected and should not interfere with user experience. Feature gating must be reliable and clearly communicated.

7. Reputation and Customer Satisfaction
Products with a consistent track record of positive reviews, low refund rates, and repeat customers are more likely to be featured. A seller’s overall reputation on the platform, including adherence to policies and response times, is also considered.

8. Uniqueness or Timeliness
Priority may be given to products that are unique to WPBay, address emerging technologies or trends, or have not been widely distributed elsewhere. Seasonal relevance or alignment with current platform campaigns may also influence selection.

Being featured is not guaranteed and may be subject to editorial discretion. WPBay regularly reviews new submissions and existing products to identify strong candidates. Sellers may also nominate their own products for consideration by contacting the vendor team.

For best results, focus on delivering a high-quality, well-documented product with clear value to the end user. Products that are polished, support-ready, and professionally presented are the most likely to receive prominent placement on WPBay.
