TPT offers two Seller membership options: Basic Seller and Premium Seller. Both allow you to upload, share, and sell resources on TPT. The main differences are the membership cost, payout rate, transaction fees, and access to additional seller tools.
TPT keeps a percentage of each sale as a service fee and passes the rest on to you. The Payout Rate, Fees, and features that apply to each membership type are detailed below. This policy is incorporated as part of our Terms of Service.
Teacher-Authors (Sellers):
| Basic Seller | Premium Seller | |
| Membership Fee | One-time, non-refundable fee of $29 USD | $59.95 USD/year |
| Payout Rate | 55% on all sales | 80% on all sales |
| Transaction Fees | 30 cents per resource | 15 cents per resource (only on orders totaling less than $3) |
| Access to premium features and marketing tools | No | Yes |
Note: The non-refundable one-time fee of $29 USD to become a Basic Seller cannot be applied towards a Premium Seller subscription if you decide to upgrade at a later date.
You can find directions on signing up as a Seller here.
Publishers:
If you’re an entity offering content you didn’t personally author, you’re welcome to register for a limited access TPT Publisher Membership. There is a one-time $29 fee for this type of account, and sales made through the TPT Marketplace are split 50/50. Contact our team if you are interested in this option.
