Founding creator offer
Keep more of every sale

Founding creators lock in a 15% platform fee instead of the standard 20%. On a $50 sale, that means $42.50 to you instead of $40.

How it works

From account to first listing in four moves

The goal is not to throw you into a dashboard blind. This is the path new creators actually follow once they decide to start.

01

Create your account

Start with a standard account so you can claim founding creator status, verify your email, and move straight into the creator workflow.

02

Set up your store

Add your store name, bio, social links, and AHPRA registration number if you are a non-admin creator. This gives you a public storefront buyers can trust.

03

Upload your first resource

Use the step-by-step creator wizard to add your title, markdown description, categories, previews, files, and pricing without having to do it all at once.

04

Publish and refine

Once your listing is polished, publish it, connect Stripe for paid resources, and keep improving your storefront with previews, SEO, and better positioning.

What to prepare

Get these pieces ready before your first upload

A clean PDF, ZIP, slide deck, worksheet pack, or template clinicians can use immediately
A strong thumbnail or preview image that makes the value obvious at a glance
A short practical description in markdown explaining who it helps and how to use it
One primary category and, if useful, one secondary category for browse visibility
A payout-ready plan if the resource will be paid rather than free

Resource upload

The listing wizard breaks the work into manageable steps

Basics, classification, media, file and pricing, and review are clearly staged so new creators do not have to guess the order.

What to sell first

Ideas that usually make sense for a first launch

Start with one fast win

A single worksheet pack, psychoeducation handout, report template, or intake form is a better first listing than trying to launch a whole library at once.

Use a free resource strategically

A polished free download can grow followers, build trust, and give buyers a low-risk reason to remember your store before they purchase anything else.

Show the resource in use

Preview pages, annotations, and a short explanation of the clinical use case will usually convert better than a vague promise that the file is helpful.

Build around one niche

Stores often read stronger when the first few resources cluster around one audience or workflow, such as NDIS reports, psychoeducation, or emotional regulation tools.

Creator FAQ

Do I need an account to understand the process?

No. This page is public so you can see how selling works, what you will need, and what the upload flow looks like before you sign up.

What do founding creators get?

Founding creators who join during early access lock in a 15% platform fee for life instead of the standard 20%, plus a founder badge on their public store profile.

Can I upload free resources as well as paid ones?

Yes. Free resources can help build visibility and trust, while paid resources can sit alongside them once your payout setup is ready.

How much does PsychVault take, and how does the maths work?

Founding creators pay 15% per sale; the standard rate after early access closes is 20%. On a $30 resource, that is $25.50 to you at the founding rate versus $24.00 at standard. On a $75 resource it is $63.75 versus $60.00. Stripe processing fees apply on top and vary slightly by card type, but typically sit around 1.75% + $0.30 for domestic cards.

When and how do I get paid?

Payouts run through Stripe Connect. Once you connect your Stripe account in the creator dashboard, funds from paid sales are held briefly for dispute protection and then transferred to your nominated bank account on Stripe's standard payout schedule. You can check payout readiness and connected account status from the Payouts section of the dashboard at any time.

What makes a listing perform well in search and browse?

The biggest differences come from a descriptive title that names the clinical use case clearly, a thumbnail with a readable alt tag, a markdown description that explains who the resource helps and how to use it, and a well-chosen primary category. The listing wizard has dedicated SEO title, SEO description, and thumbnail alt fields — filling those in is worth the two minutes it takes.

Do I need to be AHPRA registered to sell?

Yes. Non-admin creators must provide a valid AHPRA registration number when setting up their store. This is validated server-side and stored privately — it is never shown on your public profile. It exists so the marketplace can confirm that resources are being produced by registered practitioners. If you are a researcher, academic, or allied health professional without AHPRA registration, contact us before signing up.

Are there rules about what I can sell?

Resources must be original, clinically appropriate, and usable by the buyer as described. PsychVault's review compliance system applies to reviews and marketing claims, not to the content of resources itself — but listings that misrepresent scope, qualifications, or clinical appropriateness will be moderated. When in doubt, be specific about the intended audience and clinical context rather than broad.
