Q&A

How long does it take for a listing to appear in the Marketplace?

Listings typically appear immediately after publication. Some listings may require admin approval before going live.

Can I set different prices for different regions?

Currently, pricing is set in tokens which have a universal value. You cannot set region-specific prices, but you can offer promotional discounts.

What percentage of the sale price do I keep?

You earn tokens for each sale. The specific amount depends on the listing price you set.

Can I remove a listing after students have purchased it?

You can unpublish a listing to hide it from new buyers. Students who already purchased retain access to the content.

How do I handle refund requests?

Refund requests are handled through the platform's support system. Valid reasons include technical issues preventing access or content that does not match the listing description.
