Good luck, if your product is good then it will be okay. As for basic, it continues to be hard rejected.

Fast track way to guaranteed rejection and potentially your account being blocked.

Many authors I know have done this. And they succeeded. Because they constantly get hard rejections like machine checks or very quick checks

At the end of the day it breaches author and submission policy.
With the volume of submissions envato, especially those that get rejected, itās very difficult to guarantee that reviewers would pick up on it but if they do then the potential impact is a problem.

So what do you think? Should I improve the item, turn it into a SaaS model, and enhance its features? What confuses me is that similar items have been accepted, even though my item has more features. Actually, before posting in this forum, I had already tried to publish it and faced rejection. Then, I changed the design and the itemās name, and sought advice in the forum because that was the instruction from the rejection email. I donāt mind if I have to turn it into a SaaS; Iāll do that. However, what worries me is that they might reject it without thoroughly reviewing the code.
Before anything else, I want to thank you for taking the time to engage with the topic Iām discussing.
I thought SASS was not allowed on Envato but this is not a category I know a huge amount about.
It would be worth checking similar items and their sales etc.
Presumably you completed all the necessary documentation, file prep etc. correctly
With respect to your item (I certainly could not code it) and this applies to a number of items on codecanyon esp those related to accountancy etc. there are several considerations about approval beyond the technical deliver including market suitability.
Personally I would strongly question a business that uses a stock/sub $100 solution from an unknown entity/author for any operation which requires/includes personal information. That just feels like a law suit waiting to happen.
I see that on CodeCanyon, many SaaS model items are being published, such as MagicAi and WaSender. They are all SaaS-based items.
Iām also unsure if the file structure I submitted is correct or not. I followed the guidelines from an article, and hereās a screenshot of the file contents:
a. I created it in a main.zip
b. Inside the zip, there are documentation and installer.zip
c. Inside installer.zip, there are the itemās code files
d. In the public folder, I organized the assets and upload files
Regarding the point you mentioned, my system is not an accounting model or stock system.
Regarding legal and licensing issues, I have included credits, where the images I used are from svgrepo, which is Commercial Friendly, and the template I used is from Argon (MIT license), which I have modified. Everything is free from copyright restrictions.
Even if youāre willing, I can send you the exact same files that I submitted for review, so that I can get some guidance. Any guidance you provide, I will follow, because I know I still have a lot to learn to become a great author
I do get that this is not accountancy etc. thatās more of a general reference to different file types that we see on envato that regardless of how well built they are, strike us as unsuitable for a stock market.
Unfortunately I do not know enough about this type of item to comment in detail.
Was all the documentation submitted correctly?
Did you submit all the correct item info and images?
An author like @ki-themes might be able to offer more valuable advice.

Would you be willing to let me send you the files? I donāt mind at all. I need to learn a lot from you and others who have been doing this longer than I have
Thank you very much for taking the time to discuss with me. If you come across any information that could help me, please let me know. I apologize if there is anything in my messages that may have been unpleasant, but even just taking the time to assist me has already given me support and encouragement
At this point, thereās not much things to offer and it really depends on the quality team decision if they like the project or not. If they donāt like the project, youād be getting the rejection anyway and itās not gonna make any difference what we could suggest ābeforeā upload.
The all procedure is called āreview procedureā and it really depends on another persons time to check your item quality before submission. As this is not the āmainā issue before submission and if itās related to coding, they will give you an opportunity to fix your issues - with soft rejection message with the details of the issues you need to get it fix.
I have already responded on your another thread:

Thank you for responding and taking the time for this. However, what do you think if I were to turn it into a SaaS item like Magic AI or WA Sender with complete features? Would that be pointless? Because turning it into a SaaS item would make it a new product, even though it has the same design and name.
If the item will be rejected, it will be rejected with or without the ānewā features" Just upload and see how it goes, if you are able to get the approval, you can add the features later.
Alright, Iām starting to understand. I will try again. Thank you for giving me that statement.
Envato doesnāt even know what theyāre doing anymore, no matter what your work is, they make decisions without trying to understand it or according to their mood that day, thatās why I stopped submitting new works.
Why am I leaving my work that I worked so hard for to the mercy of people who donāt appreciate it or we donāt know who they are? Are they better than me? Do they making the decisions all alone or a group of people checking together? Noā¦Itās pure nonsense, no one gives you even a single line of explanation about why you were rejected, no one is valuable to Envato, they think that their success is the only reason theyāve come this far.

You should consider it to turn a WordPress plugin and also should submit simpler/free version to WordPress.org
Actually, I have the same complaint. The rejection email tells you to find answers in the forum, and the forum says all decisions are up to the reviewers. I tried creating a ticket, but the response was the same, and some questions were even left unanswered.
However, despite that, I will try again. I plan to create a higher-quality product within this week and submit it again. To be honest, Iām confused about where else I should sell it. Envato has a much larger market opportunity compared to its competitors.
Iāve never created a WordPress plugin before. Does it have better opportunities? Oh, by the way, you mentioned that you no longer submit to CodeCanyon, so where do you sell your products now?
Around 478 million websites are built on WordPress. WordPress dominates the CMS market with a 62.7% (43.5% all websites) share. There are over 30,000 WordPress themes available. More than 70,000 plugins are available for WordPress.
Elementor is used by 25.4% of all the websites who use WordPress, WooCommerce 21.1%
So, you should try WordPress.
I donāt sell products anywhere else, I only maintain my existing products on Envato markets. I currently work with local/remote(rare) customers according to their requests, from WordPress (or web based), to Desktop and Mobile applications, itās never as good as before, but I found this as a last resort.
