Becoming a seller
Selling on Thumper takes three steps: accept the seller agreement, set up your payout account, and submit a listing for review. A listing can go on sale after review; the money waits until your payout account is verified.
Overview
Open the marketplace and choose “Sell on Thumper”. Choose whether you sell as yourself or as an organization you Own, accept the seller agreement and enter the country you are based in. Thumper then sends you to our payment partner to verify your identity and add a bank account.
The seller agreement
Before any sale can count toward your earnings you accept the current seller agreement. You stay the seller of what you sell; Thumper handles payment, tax and receipts and keeps 15%. The agreement includes the consent that lets Thumper take back a refunded sale from your earnings under the marketplace refund policy.
If the agreement changes, your dashboard asks you to accept the new version. New sales don't count toward your earnings until you do.
Your payout account
Follow the link to our payment partner to verify your identity and connect a bank account. You can leave and come back; your progress is saved and your dashboard shows where you are.
Selling as an organization
An organization is paid to its own payout account, never to a person's. Only an Owner of the organization can set up payouts, set prices, pause sales or change payouts.
What our payment partner asks for
Identity details, business details where they apply, a bank account, and your tax form (W-9 in the US, a W-8 form elsewhere). Finishing this is what lets payouts go out.
Your first listing
Once you have accepted the agreement you can list an app, a paid folder of a repository, a standalone model or a model pack. Set a title and a price in whole dollars. Every listing, free or paid, is reviewed before it goes live. The listing shows when you submitted it and its status; we don't promise a review time.
Key Takeaways
- Sell as yourself or as an organization you Own; each has its own payout account.
- Our payment partner keeps your tax and bank details; Thumper shows only a status.
- Every listing is reviewed. It can go on sale before payouts are verified; the money waits.
