Selling on the Marketplace

Bubble Marketplace Policies is the authoritative source about marketplace policies. In the event of discrepancies with this documentation, the Marketplace Policies take precedence.)

The Bubble Marketplace is a vibrant platform for selling templates and plugins to other Bubble users. While you can offer these items for free, if you choose to sell them, you’ll need to register as a seller in order to receive Marketplace earnings payouts. These payouts are made directly to you, with Bubble taking a fee on each transaction.

Before you create a seller profile

Marketplace policies

We strongly encourage you to read through our Bubble Marketplace Policies to familiarize yourself with the requirements and guidelines for selling templates and plugins on the Bubble Marketplace.​ In the marketplace policies document you will also find the up-to-date seller commission.

Receiving Payouts from the Marketplace

Payouts for sales made on the Bubble Marketplace are processed through Stripe (or PayPal, in select cases). These services are used strictly for transferring your Marketplace earnings — they are not connected to the Stripe plugin or payments made in your Bubble-built app.

Stripe for Marketplace Earnings

To receive your marketplace earnings via Stripe, you must have an active Stripe account. This account will be used to receive funds from Bubble related to sales on the Marketplace.

For users in countries affected by specific regulations, we also offer payouts via PayPal. Please note that this is a manual registration and approval process, and we encourage all users who can use Stripe to opt for that option instead.

Defining your seller identity

To set up and manage your marketplace profile, sign in to your Bubble account and navigate to the Marketplace profile page. Use the form to set your profile picture, name, website and other details.

The information you provide in the seller profile form is publicly visible. Please keep this in mind when entering details like your location. Instead of listing your full address, consider only including your city and country.

Setting up payouts

Stripe for Bubble marketplace earnings

To set up Stripe, go to the Marketplace settings page, and follow the steps to connect your Stripe account with your Bubble Marketplace account.

PayPal for Bubble marketplace earnings

If Stripe isn’t supported in your country or certain restrictions apply (like Stripe’s limitations on transfers from non-India accounts to India-based accounts), you can explore using PayPal as an alternative, if available.

Connecting a Payout Method

Stripe: Linking Your Account for Marketplace Payouts

To connect your Stripe account for receiving Bubble Marketplace earnings:

1. Sign in to your Bubble account.

2. Go to your Bubble account settings and select Marketplace in the left-hand menu.

3. Click Set up Stripe, and follow the instructions provided.

Note that compliance aspects such as (but not limited to) providing identification and tax information must be managed with Stripe directly.

PayPal: Alternative for Marketplace Payouts

If you're unable to use Stripe, you may request approval to receive Bubble Marketplace payouts via PayPal.

To request PayPal payout access:

1. Set up your Marketplace seller profile.

2. Set up a PayPal account where you’ll receive your payouts.

3. Contact the Bubble team via the chatbot or by reaching out to the Success team.

Please include:

• Your Bubble Marketplace account email address

• Your PayPal account email address

Setting Up Your PayPal Account

The setup process is managed by PayPal. Key notes:

• Payout Acceptance: You may need to manually accept payouts within 30 days unless you have a Premium or Business account set to auto-accept payments from Bubble.

• Country-specific Requirements: Some countries require additional verification or limit the types of cards/accounts allowed (e.g., India or Egypt).

Common PayPal Errors and Fixes

Improper setup can lead to payout issues, including:

• RISK_DECLINE: Often seen in India if additional compliance rules aren’t configured.

• REGULATORY_BLOCKED: Some countries only support specific card types.

Bubble is not responsible for declined payouts due to setup issues. Ensure your PayPal account complies with your country’s policies.

As with Stripe, compliance and verification are managed directly with PayPal.

Note that compliance aspects such as (but not limited to) providing identification and tax information must be managed with Paypal directly.
