Note
This article applies to publishing apps in GitHub Marketplace only. For more information about publishing GitHub Actions in GitHub Marketplace, see Publishing actions in GitHub Marketplace.
Publisher verification ensures that GitHub has a way to contact you, that you've enabled two-factor authentication for your organization, and that your organization's domain has been verified.
Once your organization has been verified, you can publish paid plans for your app. For information, see Setting pricing plans for your listing.
To offer paid plans for your app, the app must be owned by an organization and you must have owner permissions in the organization. If your app is currently owned by a personal account, you'll need to transfer the ownership of the app to an organization. For more information, see Transferring ownership of a GitHub App or Transferring ownership of an OAuth app.
