Your Guide to Bundle

Bundle is a simple way to share your work on Thangs, reach new makers, and start building momentum around your designs. Whether you're just getting started or already have an established catalog, Bundle helps more people discover your work while giving you the flexibility to publish on your own schedule.

Why use Bundle?

Bundle is designed to help you grow your audience and introduce your work to makers who may have never discovered you before.

With Bundle, you can:

• Reach a larger audience and gain visibility with new makers.
• Share models at your own pace, without the pressure of weekly releases.
• Build interest in your designs before launching a Membership.
• Learn what users enjoy printing by tracking downloads and analytics.
• Convert new Bundle users into long-term supporters of your brand.

If you don't have a Membership yet, Bundle is a great way to begin building an audience while generating revenue from your designs.

Bundle best practices

To get the most out of Bundle, we recommend:

• Start with 10–30 high-quality models that best represent your work.
• Avoid uploading your entire catalog; save some designs exclusively for memberships.
• Rotate models regularly to keep your Bundle fresh and encourage repeat engagement.
• Test every model for printability before publishing.
• Use high-quality renders and printed photos to help your models stand out.
• Make sure your descriptions, categories, and tags are accurate.

Step 1: Set up payments

Before publishing any Bundle models, you'll need to configure your payout information.

1. Log into your Thangs account.
2. Navigate to Settings → Monetization.
3. Select Set Up Payments (or Initiate Payout if you've already started).
4. Complete your payment setup.
5. Return to Settings and begin the designer account review process.

Once approved, you'll be ready to publish Bundle models and receive payouts.

Step 2: Add models

After your account has been approved:

1. Go to Profile → My Models → Manage My Plans → Bundle.
2. Upload new models or assign existing models to Bundle.
3. Edit your model page with descriptions, images, tags, and categories.

Your model will immediately appear both on your profile and inside the Bundle catalog.

You can also drag and drop existing models into your Bundle plan at any time.
