After completing your purchase, you'll get immediate access to all 18 designer portfolios preview. You can browse their full catalogs, see available seats, and select the designer whose style best matches your target market.

You have 30 days to switch to a different designer once if your initial choice isn't the right fit. You can also contact our team and we will help you figure it out the best designer for you. Our goal is to ensure you're set up for success.

The 10% royalty (CubeeTrust) is a model that benefits you. When you share revenue with your designer, they're motivated to create MORE exclusive designs for your catalog. You also get access to aggregated sales data from all 50 sellers. It's not just a fee. It's an investment in continuous catalog growth and market intelligence.

HivePlus gives you access to ONE exclusive designer catalog limited to just 50 sellers worldwide, plus photos and videos with every design, shared sales data, and direct support. HiveCommunity has 950+ designs but unlimited sellers and no exclusive content.

Limiting each designer catalog to 50 sellers worldwide dramatically reduces your competition. Instead of competing with thousands of sellers using the same designs, you're one of only 50 globally. This allows you to charge premium prices and stand out in the marketplace.

Each month, you input your sales data into the CubeeTrust system, which calculates your royalty amount. A payment link is generated, and you send payment directly to the designer. This shared data helps the entire community see market trends.

Seats become available when existing members cancel their subscription or switch to a different designer. We don't have a waitlist system, but you can check seat availability in real-time on each designer's page.

Hive is designed as an umbrella service with the primary goal of reducing workload, minimizing growing pains, and preventing common mistakes, thereby ensuring a smoother business operation. Here's how Hive can save you time and money: 1.

Industry Partnerships: Hive collaborates with filament companies to offer better pricing, leading to cost savings on materials. Overall, Hive streamlines operations reduces mistakes, and offers cost-effective solutions for its users.

Hive differentiates itself from other 3D design licensing services in the following ways: 1. Exclusivity: Hive offers limited seats to their premium catalogs. While they do have a basic catalog that anyone can subscribe to, the premium catalogs are exclusive to ensure the market isn't saturated with numerous sellers offering the same designs. 2. Support Systems: Hive is dedicated to helping its sellers grow. They provide tools and have established a community to support this growth. 3. High-Quality Media Content: Hive places a strong emphasis on providing high-quality media content. They recognize the importance of media in today's product selling landscape and work diligently to offer top-notch content to their sellers.

Hive offers several Commercial License Plans tailored to different needs:

HiveCommunity: This is for beginners who want to explore the platform. It provides a large collection of models without royalties and comes with limited media content.

Hive Plus: This plan includes the Starter Hive catalog and allows users to select one premium catalog from a Hive Plus designer. This catalog comes with media content and is exclusive, limited to only 50 sellers (or 100 when including the Unlimited plan members).

Hive Unlimited: This is the top-tier plan, granting access to all Hive Plus catalogs. Subscribers also receive premium business development support from Hive to assist in selling to businesses and overall business growth.

Each plan is designed to cater to different stages of a seller's journey, from exploration to full-fledged business operations.

The HiveCommunity (previously known as StarterHive) is a catalog designed for those new to selling 3D prints. It offers a vast collection of designs without royalties or exclusivity. Available at an affordable price, it allows users to explore various designs and discover their best sellers. To get started, simply join HiveCommunity, access the diverse design stack, and begin selling.

Hive+ is an upgraded plan that provides access to a premium designer catalog. It's ideal for those who've moved beyond the initial stages of the Hive universe and have a specific designer in mind they want to collaborate with. By subscribing to Hive+, you essentially become a franchise for that designer's products, allowing you to work closely with both the seller community and the designer. This close collaboration helps you grow alongside the designer's product line.

HiveUnlimited is designed for more established 3D or e-commerce businesses. It offers: 1. Access to all of the Hive Plus catalogs. 2. Exclusivity, with only 50 unlimited members allowed worldwide at any given time. 3. Premium support from Hive. So, yes, with HiveUnlimited, you get access to all the designer catalogs available under Hive Plus.

With the Hive commercial licensing, sellers have the flexibility to sell 3D Printed Hive Products wherever they see fit. This includes:

* E-commerce platforms

* Etsy

* Other marketplace platforms

* Directly to businesses

* Flea markets

* Fairs

* Farmers markets

The licensing provides sellers with the autonomy to freely market and sell from the Hive catalog wherever their buyers are located.

Yes, you have the flexibility with Hive products. You can: 1. Use the actual brand of the designer. 2. White label the products under your own brand name. 3. Add logos or tags to the designs. However, sometimes using the designer's brand might be beneficial as they may already have established credibility. Alternatively, you can even use the Hive brand name. The choice is entirely up to you.

"Cubee Trust" is Hive's system for premium catalogs (Hive+/Unlimited) where sellers pay a 10% royalty to designers monthly. This approach limits the number of sellers per catalog, reducing competition and ensuring quality. The shared sales data offers insights into popular products, guiding sellers on what to prioritize. If you sell from a premium catalog, you owe royalties to the designer.

Royalties are paid through Hive's "Cubee Trust" system. Each month, sellers input their sales data into Hive's software, which calculates the royalty amount. A payment link is generated, and the payment is sent to the designer. Hive then uses this aggregated sales data to inform the community about market trends.

Yes, when posting a Hive product online, it's beneficial to give credit to the designer. This can increase your exposure, especially if the designer decides to repost your picture. Additionally, it's recommended to mention that you're a Hive-authorized seller. This ensures that you and others know you're not infringing on any rights. Hive protects its designs and enforces copyright infringement.

The Hive seller community is a collaborative platform where sellers from around the world come together to share knowledge and experiences. Recognizing that challenges faced by one seller might be similar to another's, the community promotes collaboration over competition. Hive believes in achieving its vision through collective effort, and the community plays a pivotal role in that. The community operates primarily through a Discord server, facilitating connections between manufacturers, 3D printers, and designers. They also host webinars and events, fostering learning and collective growth in the 3D printing business. Joining this community can accelerate your growth by leveraging shared experiences and insights.

You can cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account via each plan's dashboard and following the instructions.
