    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.

    Top FAQ
    • 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.
    • How and when can I withdraw my earnings?
      You will be able to withdraw money via PayPal once you earn at least $50. You will receive them within 45 days from the date of requesting.
    • 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?
      Information related to sales and earnings is displayed in the section "My profile" in the top right corner of the page and "Sales Statistics" and "Earnings" sections.
