From this area users will be able to browse or search a directory of third party add-ons, see a little bit of detail about the add-on, as well as some information on the developers behind them. If a user then wants more information, or to download or purchase, we will send them directly to your website so you can ensure that all necessary information is presented just as you intended.
We hope that these changes will not only allow developers everywhere to bring new attention to their Gravity Forms add-ons, but also help our users better identify high-quality add-ons to fit their needs.

We will be reviewing all submissions in the coming weeks, and will reach out to you if we have any questions. You can submit once for every add-on you wish to be featured. We want to include as many add-ons as possible, but the final verdict on what is included and what is not will be solely at our discretion. So use common sense and good language.
