Creator earnings, withdrawals and usage rights
Earnings from paid downloads use the rate that applies to your account and are rounded down to whole creator points. If a template costs only a few download credits, you may earn 0 creator points. This guide covers joining the Creator Program, checking earnings, requesting a withdrawal, and the usage rights for uploads and downloads.

Set a price in download credits after joining
Sign in and open the Creator Program page. Read the agreement and join if you accept it. Once you've joined, you can set a price in download credits when uploading work that meets the requirements. Submissions still need review, and joining does not guarantee downloads or earnings. Only upload original work you created or work you have legal permission to submit. Uploading does not transfer ownership to the platform. The platform receives a non-exclusive license for hosting, technical processing, display and distribution through this site.
Calculate earnings using your account's rate
When another user pays for their first download of your template, your earnings are calculated using your account's commission rate. The result is rounded down to whole creator points. If the template costs only a few download credits, you may earn 0 creator points. You earn no new creator points from free downloads, downloads you make of your own work, or repeat downloads by the same account. For example, if your applicable rate is 50% and another user spends 3 download credits on their first download of your template, you earn 1 creator point. This is only a calculation example and does not mean every account has a 50% rate. You can view earnings records in My Credits; contact support if you need to confirm your rate.
Check withdrawal conditions and usage rights
Purchased download credits cannot be withdrawn, and creator points cannot be spent on downloads. Before requesting a withdrawal, check your account's exchange rate, minimum points required and available creator points on the withdrawal page. Enter your payout account and real name. WeChat Pay and Alipay are currently supported; WeChat Pay also requires a phone number. If you already have a withdrawal request awaiting review, check the original request's status instead of submitting another. Submission or approval does not mean payment has been sent; check the request status and whether the money has actually reached you. Downloaded designs are for personal use only and may not be used commercially or redistributed. For copyright complaints, use Contact and provide a description of the work, a link to the page you believe is infringing, evidence of your rights and valid contact details.
FAQ
Can the same design be adapted to several models?
Yes. Adapting your design to different vehicle versions is not treated as a duplicate, but each version must fit its selected model and meet the same rights and review requirements. You cannot re-upload templates you downloaded from other creators.
