What Are Royalties?

If you're a HiveCommunity or Lifetime member, this guide doesn't apply to you! All your designs are royalty-free, and you don't need to worry about royalty payments.

The Basics

Royalties are a percentage of your sales that goes directly to the designers who created the 3D models you're selling. This system ensures designers are fairly compensated for their creative work while giving you access to exclusive, high-quality designs.

Rate: 10% of your net sales (after deducting shipping, packaging, and platform fees)

Why Do Royalties Exist?

Win-Win System

Designers earn fair compensation, you get exclusive access to premium designs. Everyone succeeds together.

Limited Competition

Each catalog has only 50 seats. Fewer sellers mean less competition and better profit potential for you.

Protected Exclusivity

Hive verifies each seller to maintain design protection, preventing unauthorized use and market flooding.

Quality Over Quantity

Limited seats incentivize focus on quality sales rather than mass production, protecting market value.

Sustainable for Designers

Fair compensation motivates designers to keep creating new, innovative designs for the catalog.

Professional Standards

The system maintains high standards across the community, protecting your reputation and brand.
