Hello everyone,
I’ve seen a lot of new modules added to the Dolistore in recent months (which is excellent news for the Dolibarr ecosystem).
After analyzing the situation here: Dolistore et modules générés par IA - #36 par defrance - Discuter entre Dolibarriens - Forum Dolibarr france
I’ve observed a fairly common situation:
Many developers publish their first module, then quickly encounter difficulties in expanding:
- Few sales
- Difficulty positioning themselves
- Lack of visibility
- Questions about code quality or best practices
My experience
I’ve been working with Dolibarr for over 14 years:
-
More than 45 modules published on the Dolistore
-
More than 5,000 modules sold
-
More than 3,000 clients (approximately one-third of whom are international)
-
Numerous contributions to the Dolibarr core (among the top contributors)
Over time, I’ve also developed my own tools to:
-
Simplify module development
-
Automate packaging and updates
-
Accurately track sales performance
What I offer
Dedicated support for module developers Dolibarr users who want to structure their approach.
- Training and support
- Code review (quality, structure, Dolibarr best practices) to complement the videos on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@charlene-patasmonkey (don’t forget to subscribe!)
- Advice on positioning and pricing
- Optimization of your listing on the Dolistore
- Structuring a range of modules
- …
Industrialization
- Sharing methods and tools to save time
- Development organization (testing, packaging, maintenance, documentation)
- Best practices to make your modules sustainable (backward compatibility, continuous integration, etc.)
Core contribution
- Relevance study for integrating a module into the core
- Support throughout the contribution process
- Objective (improve the sustainability and visibility of your work)
Business analysis
- Understanding the performance of your modules
- Identifying roadblocks (positioning, pricing, needs)
- Decision-making support (improvement, pivot, abandonment)
- Support for structuring a business around your Modules
AI now allows for faster development and lowers the technical barrier (which partly explains the recent increase in the number of modules).
However, they do not replace:
- years of experience
- market understanding
- experience with both failures and successes
- the ability to build a sustainable business
It is on these aspects that I propose to focus my efforts.
my objective is to help you move from:
“I published a module”
to:
“I am developing a solid and sustainable business around Dolibarr”

I look forward to speaking with you.
