Setting up your shop
Now that you have your account, and before you can make a sale, double-check that your profile and account details are ready and revvin’ to go. Check out our article on confirming your account details and tips on setting up your shop.
- On your Account Details page, make sure your payment information is correct. Here, you can pick and alter your preferred payment method depending on your country.
- Make sure you’ve confirmed your account. Upon signing up, you should have received an email with a confirmation link. You can double-check whether your account has been confirmed in your Account Settings under the Payment Details tab.
- Upload some work (which must be made public to sell)! Remember, you need to have confirmed your account and set up your payment details to make your work sellable.
Things to remember:
- You can’t change your currency, so be sure to choose this carefully at sign up.
- We limit the number of times that bank details can be re-used across different Redbubble accounts to ensure multiple accounts are not used in a way that interferes with the functionality or integrity of the marketplace.
You made a sale!
Hurray! Someone’s recognized your creative genius!
You'll get a “You’ve Made a Sale!” email, which will include a breakdown of what products you sold, at what price, and what your artist margin is.
Your art is on its way to your customer
After 2-3 days of processing and printing time, your customer's order ships!
It’s official. You’re getting paid. You can check the ‘Order Status’ column in your Sales History. Each confirmed sale will say ‘To Be Paid’ or ‘Paid’.
Payments begin to process
At the beginning of each month, the pay cycle begins. You are paid for every shipped sale you make after your earnings reach the payment threshold of $20, £20, or €20.
Once your sales have been calculated for the month, an account fee may be deducted from your total earnings, depending on your account tier. The remaining amount will then count towards the payment threshold. Learn more about when you'll get paid and what can delay it.
You can double-check the sale’s ship date on the Sales History page and your earnings on the Payment History page.
Sit back and relax
The payout process begins at the beginning of the month, and the payment should land in your account by the 15th. Check out what the processing times are depending on how you choose to get paid.
Get paid
Your money is here. Now, what can we spend it on?
Watch out for the Remittance Advice email, which should give you confirmation for all the sales you made during this pay cycle.
