We prefer Venmo during beta, but can pay via Wise, PayPal, and other ways to make things easy for you.
-
Yes. Currently, creators receive about 77% of the sale price after processing and platform fees. Sometimes we will give discounts to buyers if they buy multiple files. While this means you might get less money if we do a sale this also means you might get multiple items sold! So its a win win win!
