TPT offers two Seller membership options: Basic Seller and Exclusive Seller. Both allow you to upload, share, and sell resources on TPT. The main differences are the membership cost, exclusivity terms, 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.
