How it works
From account to first listing in four steps
You can review each step before creating an account, including credential requirements and the setup needed for paid resources.
02
Set up your store
Add your store name, bio, and social links. You can save a draft first, but non-admin creators need valid AHPRA registration or current AASW membership before the store can go live.
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
Review the listing, confirm you have the right to sell the content, and publish when it is ready. Paid resources also require a connected Stripe account.
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

What to sell first
Practical options for a first listing
Start with one useful resource
A worksheet pack, psychoeducation handout, report template, or intake form is enough for a first listing. You do not need to prepare a full library before opening a store.
Consider offering one resource for free
A useful free download lets clinicians see the quality and style of your work before deciding whether a paid resource is right for them.
Show the resource in use
Include preview pages and a short explanation of the intended clinical use. Buyers need enough detail to judge fit; a general claim that a file is helpful is not enough.
Make the first few listings coherent
A small group of resources for one audience or workflow—such as NDIS reports, psychoeducation, or emotional regulation—makes the purpose of a new store easier to understand.
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. A free resource lets buyers assess the quality and style of your work. Paid resources can sit alongside it 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?
PsychVault accepts AHPRA registration and current AASW membership for social workers. Non-admin creators can prepare a draft store without a credential, but must provide their professional body and credential number before publishing it. The credential appears on the public store by default, but creators can hide it while PsychVault administrators retain access for verification. If you belong to another professional body, contact us before publishing.
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.
