Start selling, with the agreement in your hands
Selling through Rekhu now starts with a four-step set-up for designers and photographers. The seller agreement is shown in full, can be downloaded before you sign, and arrives by e-mail stamped with your acceptance.
Until today, setting up payouts came down to one tick box and a link to the Terms. That was too little for something you sign. Selling now starts with four short steps, and the agreement is a document you can read, download and keep.
Four steps
What you sell. Website designs, photos or both. One payout account covers all of it.
How buyers see you. The public name and link that go on everything you sell. Stripe asks for your legal name separately, and that stays private.
The agreement. The seller agreement is shown in full, with only the sections that apply to what you chose. You can download it as a PDF before you accept. It covers the royalty (70 percent, 80 percent when exclusive), the 30-day hold, payouts from $50 on the first of the month, taxes, what buyers may do with your work, and takedowns. Photographers get their own sections on licences and on model and property releases.
Payouts at Stripe. The only step that leaves rekhu.com. Stripe asks for your identity and bank account on its own pages, and Rekhu never sees them. If you already have a Stripe login, Stripe can reuse the details you gave it before.
What you keep
When you accept, Rekhu stores the exact words you were shown, a fingerprint (hash) of those words, the time, and the address and browser you accepted from. You receive the agreement by e-mail at once, as a PDF stamped with that record. It stays on your Designer page under "Download your agreement". When Stripe has checked your details, a second e-mail tells you payouts are open.
When the agreement changes, you see it on your Designer page at least 30 days before the change applies. A new royalty share never applies to sales already made.
Anyone can read the agreement before signing up: it is linked from the Terms.
Also fixed
"Continue at Stripe" could fail to open Stripe's page: the browser blocked the jump to Stripe's onboarding address. It now opens as it should.
