How the Marketplace Works
Revenue Split
Promptsy operates on a simple, fair revenue model:
- 70% to you: You keep the majority of each sale
- 30% to Promptsy: Covers platform hosting, payment processing, customer support, and ongoing development
Payments are processed through Stripe Connect and deposited directly to your bank account. No minimums, no delays - you get paid as you earn.
What Sells Well?
- Complete workflows: Multi-step bundles that solve specific problems
- Niche expertise: Prompts for specialized industries or use cases
- Time-savers: Automation bundles that replace hours of manual work
- Quality over quantity: Well-tested, documented prompts with proven results
Step-by-Step Publishing Guide
Step 1: Set Up Stripe Connect
Before you can sell anything, you need to connect your Stripe account:
- Go to your Promptsy Settings → Marketplace
- Click "Connect Stripe Account"
- Complete the Stripe Connect onboarding (takes 5-10 minutes)
- Provide your business details and bank account information
- Wait for Stripe approval (usually instant, sometimes 24-48 hours)
Once approved, a green checkmark appears in your settings and you're ready to publish.
Step 2: Prepare Your Listing
Select a prompt or bundle from your library and click the visibility toggle. Choose "Marketplace" to open the Publishing Drawer.
Step 3: Set Your Price
Price your offering based on:
- Complexity: Simple prompts ($2-$10), Complex bundles ($20-$100+)
- Value delivered: How much time/money does it save?
- Competition: Research similar listings
- Target audience: Individuals vs enterprises
Remember: you can always adjust pricing later based on sales data.
Step 4: Auto-Generated Assets
Click "Generate Assets" and Promptsy automatically creates:
- README.md: Professional documentation explaining what your listing does, how to use it, and what results to expect
- Cover Image: Eye-catching 1280×720 image generated by AI (DALL·E) based on your prompt content
You can edit both before publishing if you want to customize them.
Step 5: Choose a License
Select your licensing terms:
- Personal Use: Buyer can use but not resell or share
- Commercial Use: Buyer can use in their business
- Extended: Buyer can modify and use in client projects
Step 6: Preview and Publish
Review your listing preview showing exactly how it will appear to buyers. Check:
- Title and description are clear and compelling
- Cover image is relevant and professional
- README provides sufficient detail
- Price feels right for the value
- Tags help buyers discover your listing

Optimizing Your Listings
