Sell Your 3D Designs

On Thangs you make money from the first download. You can build your business selling digital files individually or through subscriptions, as well as offer your products to be printed on demand in premium materials through our Print Store.

It’s easy to get started selling on Thangs. Here’s how: 

• Complete your profile: Add a short bio, photo, links to your social media accounts, as well as a fun header photo that captures the essence of your shop. 
• Enable Stripe: Stripe is the payment processor we use to pay designers. You can set it up by going into your Store Settings under Manage Payments. This will open up the Stripe website for you to enter your details.

Submit your account: In order to monetize your designs, your account has to be verified. Once you have completed your profile you can submit your account for review from the Store Settings.

You can offer several styles of membership plan on Thangs: 

• Downloads Plan: The most straightforward option. You set a specific number of download credits available to members each month. Subscribers can then "pick and choose" exactly which models they want to download from the model library assigned to this plan. This is the easiest to maintain plan, and perfect to combine with a commercial license.
• Monthly Releases Plan: Members get access to every model you release during the months they have an active subscription. You can customize this to include a set number of previous months' releases or offer a discount on one-off back-catalog purchases. This type of plan creates the most value for long term members and adds a sense of exclusivity to your designs.
• Chapter-Based Plan: This plan delivers a pre-set sequence of model sets. No matter when a member subscribes, they always start at "Chapter 1" and progress through your collection month by month. Ideal for tutorials, modular systems, or narrative-based designs.

Monthly vs. Annual memberships: To provide your members the best value, you can offer both monthly and annual pricing. Providing a discounted annual rate incentivizes members to lock in for 12 months, which in turn guarantees long-term income for you as a designer. Win-win!

Bundle is a membership that gives users access to a massive library from a wide variety of designers. Participating is a great way to put your designs in front of new audiences and easily sell your work without the pressure of a recurring membership.
