Build a collection that sells

Find the right theme for your soon-to-be-bestselling collection and make it consistent.


  • Finding a theme:
    • follow people’s passions: remember that people buy posters with things they love,
    • find a niche: a movie, a game, a certain art style,
    • check the trends: use the Displate trending tool, which you can find on your dashboard, check Pinterest and Google trends.
  • Adjust the design to your theme: color, style, form, composition.
  • Start local and go global - expand your collection if you can (first maps of countries, then cities etc.).
  • Create a big collection rather than several smaller ones because:
    • it performs better and you give people wider choice,
    • it will have better exposure on the website,
    • it will get a better chance of participating in paid campaigns on Displate.

Then share it around the world - place it on your social media, website, blog or wherever it fits!

Please note that those artists who will not get any response within the next five business days are considered as not accepted for Displate for which we are sorry.

As for the Limited Edition Displates sold via Share & Earn, the commission is 10%, minus taxes and fees. Just please check here if PayPal is available in your country as all pay-outs are made via PayPal only.

How do you know the commission is mine?

We use special cookies for that. They help us determine the source of traffic and purchase on our site. Thanks to this trick we know who is responsible for the sales.

What happens if someone clicks on my link, does not purchase during the first session, but comes back later and makes a purchase?

Cookies will help us with this. Once they are created, they are live for 30 days. Which means a user doesn’t have to make a purchase right away for you to earn your commission. The purchase can be made anytime during that 30 days period for us to assign the commission to your account.

How can I see my sales and earnings?

Please go to the top right corner of the page to find section 'Earnings'. Information related to sales and earnings is displayed in the sections 'My Commission' and 'Sales Statistics'.

How and when can I withdraw my earnings?

Your commission is published after the period of 24 hours of selling the product and then will be available to request the payment after the period of 10 days of selling the product. You will be able to withdraw money via PayPal once you earn at least 50 USD. Note: you will receive your pay-out within 45 days from the date of requesting.
