Seller questions
Do I have to sell only here?
No. Honor System never asks for exclusivity. TPT Exclusive has its own rules. Your TPT store, your own site, and anywhere else you sell stay exactly as they are.
What does it cost to sell?
There is no membership fee and no listing fee. On each sale there is a 10 percent platform fee and the card fee Stripe charges, which comes out of your side. The platform fee stays at 10 percent of the item price. The fees page has worked examples and a calculator.
How do I get paid?
Sales go to your bank account through Stripe, which you connect from your dashboard. We pay you on the 1st of each month once your balance reaches $25. A smaller balance rolls forward to the next month, and anything left is paid out at least once a year. The monthly payout is free. If you want your balance sooner, an instant payout from your Payouts page costs what Stripe charges us to send it, $2.25 plus 0.25%, taken from the payout.
Is there a minimum payout?
Yes, $25. If your balance is under $25 on the 1st, it rolls forward to the next month.
What happens when a buyer asks for a refund?
Buyers can ask within 365 days if the listing did not match its description or previews, a file is broken, or they bought it twice. Changing their mind is not a reason. We may ask for your side first. When a refund is approved, the buyer gets the full price back, your payment for that item is reversed, and the card fee on that order comes out of your next transfer, because Stripe does not give its fee back on a refund.
Do my TPT ratings and reviews come with me?
No. Ratings and reviews on TPT stay on TPT, and we cannot copy them over. Here, only a teacher who owns a resource can review it, and you can reply to each review. A teacher on our team also checks the first three paid listings of every store before they go live.
Can I fix a file after people buy it?
Yes. Upload a new version with a short note about what changed. The listing stays up while you do. Teachers who own it get an email and can download the new version from their library.
Can a teacher buy one resource for a whole grade team?
Yes. A buyer can add licenses for colleagues at your additional license price, then send each one by email. Each colleague claims their own copy in their own library, stamped with their name.
I used AI to make some of my resources. Can I sell them here?
Yes, as long as you say so. Before a listing goes live, you pick its AI label: Made without AI, AI-assisted, or Mostly AI-generated. Buyers see it before they buy and can filter search by it. A paid listing marked mostly AI-generated gets a staff check before it goes live, and search ranks those listings lower. The AI use policy lists common cases and the label each one gets.
