What is your commission and how much I get paid?
We have a very simple commission mechanism and we believe it is the lowest on the market of 3D printing models:
Our commission is 8.5% of each sale starting from $0.45 ($ or €). For example, if you sell a model for $10, you will get $9.15 and Threeding's commission will be $0.85 (i.e. 91.5% for you and 8.5% for Threeding).
However, our minimum commission is $0.45 (€0.45 respectively) (we simply have to cover our transaction costs). So, if you sell a mode for $3, we will collect a commission of $0.45 (€0.45 respectively).
We will pay your profit on a monthly base once you reach the amount of $15 (€15 respectively).
If you have more questions on the topic, please contact Threeding Support Team.
Why should I have a Threeding account?

What is a Payment window?
A Payment window is the time when we pay you. It is usually between the 3rd and the 10th day of the month and covers your revenue from the previous month.
Why have not I received my revenue?
This could happen due to different reasons. For example, you may have not provided accurate payment information or your monthly revenue is below the threshold of USD 15.00 / EUR 10.00.
I have received only part of my monthly revenue. Why?
If you have received only part of your revenue, this means that there is a complaint filed about some of your 3D content and we are in the process of finding a resolution. If the complaints resolving procedure finishes in your favor, the disputed revenue will be considered as received on the month when the procedure is resolved and paid on the following month.
How can I monitor my sales?
Go to My Account>Sold Items section and you will find the list of sold items. We also send an automatic email every time your model is purchased.
How much do I get if my model is sold as a physical 3D print?
You will get the price you have set (as a digital model or a 3D print) minus our commission. For example, you sell your model for $10. As printed, the model costs $50. You get the model price of $10 – our commission of 8.5% starting from $0.45.
How is the design price set?
You choose how much your design costs. You can select any price from $0.99 to $999 (or EUR). Threeding will collect a commission of 8.5% starting from 0.45 from each sale. For example: you set a price of your model $10. If you sell it, Threeding will collect a commission of 0.85.
How is the price for 3D print calculated?
The price for 3D print is calculating the following way: your design price + production cost + sales tax (if applicable).
