Creators set a creator pool price in credits per generation (minimum 83). The buyer pays the creator pool plus a 20% platform markup (default; the markup ratio is platform-configurable). All amounts are denominated in credits, where 1 credit = $0.01 USD.

The math, step by step

Example: photographer sets creator pool = 100 credits.

  • Buyer pays: 100 + (100 × 0.20) = 120 credits = $1.20.
  • Platform earns: 20 credits ($0.20).
  • Photographer + co-authors split: 100 credits across the agreed shares (e.g. 70 to photographer + 30 to model = 70/30).

Pricing rules and constraints

  • Minimum creator pool: 83 credits per generation.
  • Maximum: no hard cap. Use the buyer-price preview before publishing to see the creator pool plus markup.
  • Currency: credits only on the marketplace. Brands top up credits via Stripe; creators withdraw earnings via the manual payout flow.

Pricing strategy

  • Volume beats margin on small marketplaces. Start near the minimum when the listing is new, then use real generation volume to decide whether a higher price is justified.
  • Test with 83–100 credits for a first listing and revise after a month based on volume.
  • Specialist listings can price above that range when the audience and aesthetic are highly specific and the buyer-price preview still fits the intended campaign budget.

Next steps

After your listing is live, monitor earnings on the Creators dashboard. When the marketplace balance is high enough, see how to withdraw earnings.
