Six setup steps, in this order: profile → social account → review → card on file → payouts → identity. Then your first listing and your first sale.
Setting up runs in a fixed order, and each step unlocks the next. Your dashboard always shows the one step you are on, so you never have to remember where you got to.
1. Your profile
Add a photo, a banner and a bio.
2. A social account
Add one account you post on. It is how our team checks the page is really yours, and it stays private unless you choose to show it.
3. Submit for review
A real person reads your photo and bio before they go public — that review is part of why this platform's payments stay switched on. Your profile is not in the queue until you press Submit.
4. Card on file
Once your profile is approved, add a card for the creator subscription. Nothing is charged after your first sale — see what the subscription costs.
5. Connect your payouts
Set up your Stripe account so money can reach your bank. This is your own account, in your name.
6. Verify your identity
A passport check through Stripe Identity. It happens after payouts are connected, not before.
Then: your first listing
You cannot put anything up for sale until identity verification is done. Browsing the whole platform before that is fine — only publishing is blocked.
And: your first sale
This is the step that starts your subscription billing, and it is the point at which the platform starts earning anything from you at all.
If a step says it is being reviewed, there is nothing for you to do — you will be told when it clears.
