Hey,
Plugins are just some files packed a .zip which people can install, so it’s more about learning how you can integrate it with WordPress. Maybe this book can help you with that: http://www.amazon.in/Professional-WordPress-Development-Brad-Williams/dp/1118987241?tag=googinhydr18418-21&tag=googinkenshoo-21&ascsubtag=e2e37d6c-c87f-4111-b38a-b39e542cc20d
Or you can try to search Udemy for some video courses. It’s about you how you want to implement it, like using a custom panel, post type or shortcodes.
And for the license thing, you can use Easy Digital Downloads which allows you to do that. Not sure WooCommerce, but they should have one too. And no, WordPress.com won’t let you use plugins.
Hope it helps. 🙂
Yes it does help a lot, thank you.
Guess I am paying for something because none of the options I’ve seen have free licensing on them, oh well, I’ll bite the bullet if that is what it takes.
You should work on the product first. Everything comes after that. 🙂
Well, I technically have a ‘finished’ build in pure JavaScript:
https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/need-assistance-with-my-svg-plugin/221125
But I can’t sell that because it comes off as a library and the members of the site told me no one would buy a library.
My intention was to sell both a normal script and WP plugin. So, I am basically spending the entire weekend getting a working plugin up and hope it was worth the effort.
Also, would anyone know of a good screen capture that is free or at least doesn’t leave a watermark all over everything?

Do you need help with something in particular when developing a plugin for the ww.wp.xz.cn repository? If you’re completely unsure about how to do things, maybe look at the Hello Dolly plugin. This plugin is meant to show you how easy it is to build a plugin.
Can I have the repository version on my own site to download while having the required and approved version on ww.wp.xz.cn?
I get the gist of what is needed for the plugin, the Main part which has me scratching my head is how to display a preview. Right now I assume it’s just a window with using the same script.
This is a familiar feeling honestly when I first learned JavaScript, the “shaves/nervousness” of not knowing what to do. It will go away sooner or later.
Also, looking at the rest of the forum, this doesn’t feel like I should be talking this here but a more plugin-specific forum, this feels more towards the CMS itself and the compatibility of parts. If you guys happen to have a plugin-specific forum I could go to I would gladly do so.
