How to Apply to Sell a Creator-Sourced ProductUpdated a year ago

  1. Once you have logged into the Creator Hub, click on “Start a Project” and then choose “Creator Sourced Product”

  2. You will then be taken to a page with information about applying to source a product as well as the royalty information about selling creator-sourced products

  3. When you are ready to start the application process, click the “Apply to Source a Product” button

  4. Please fill out all fields marked with an asterisk, as well as other applicable fields, to tell us about your product

    • This application is designed to collect the information we’ll need to determine if it’s something our warehouse can store and ship to customers

    • It will tell us what the proposed product is, what it would be made out of, where it will be manufactured, how many you hope to order, and how you would like to sell it

    • Please note that if you are sending inventory to our warehouse, it must arrive ready to ship to customers. So if there are multiple components, they must be kitted before arrival. Also, if you are sending apparel, the individual garments must arrive folded and ready to store on a shelf

    • Creator-sourced products also cannot include any hazardous, organic, or consumable materials

  5. If you have a type of product in mind you’d like to source, but don’t know where to start, you can check out our Manufacturer Book (which can be accessed by clicking “Creator Resources” on the Self-Service Hub homepage) for helpful resources and contact information of trusted vendors

  6. Once this form is filled out, please submit the form and our Creator Services team will review it and then email you with the next steps within 3 to 5 business days

    • Once we’ve reviewed your application, please note that we may email you back to suggest some changes

  7. Once your application is approved, we will give you the go-ahead to order the inventory for the product, along with a suggested order quantity range 

    • To avoid storage fees, we will aim to keep no more than 6 months’ worth of inventory in the warehouse at a time

  8. At this stage, we will also send you two more forms to fill out once the inventory has been ordered

    • The first form is called the “New Creator Sourced Product Page Information Form”

    • The information you enter here will let us know everything we need to know about the product’s launch and how it should be listed on the DFTBA store

  9. After you’ve filled out that form, we’ll ask you to fill out the “New Creator Sourced Order - Warehouse Intake Form”

    • This form will collect information about the shipment of physical inventory so that our warehouse can best prepare for its arrival and properly receive the inventory

  10. At this point, our teams should have everything we need to get your product page set up in the DFTBA store and ready for your audience to place orders so we can ship out your self-sourced product
