Setting Designs for Sale

Once you have saved the scale and repeat of your design using the design layout page and reviewed a digital proof, you can manually set a design for sale by following the steps in this article.  Please note that our site will not allow you to make these updates until after you have proofed your design.  Additionally, once you have made your design available for sale, you cannot make changes to the file, scale, or repeat type, so be sure you are happy with your choices before proceeding.  

1. On the design edit page, you'll see the option to toggle between Private and For sale. 

   

2. All designs default to private once uploaded. Click For Sale to mark the design for sale.

   Note: If you get the message shown below, you haven’t completed the steps for digital proofing. Be sure to do that first, then you can come back and toggle the design "For Sale". 

   

   

3. A pop up will appear. 
   • You can choose Wallpaper*, Fabric and all home decor**, or tea towels and fabric***. See important details about products below.  
   • You will also need to check the box to acknowledge that you understand that no further changes can be made to the image file or scale/repeat of the design. 

   • If you’d like to make changes, click Cancel to exit out and do so.  Otherwise, when you are ready, click Save. 

     

     • *Wallpaper - When uploading identical designs at a different scales for fabric, be certain to review the wallpaper settings a second time to make sure each design is unique! Quite often two different scales of fabric will convert the wallpaper to the same scale. We explore this in fuller detail in Sizing Your Designs. 
     • **Fabric and Home Decor - When you select to sell on Fabric, your design will also be made for sale on all Spoonflower Home Decor products unless you have opted out in Design Distribution within your Account Settings. You cannot select specific fabric types or Home Decor items on which to print.
     • ***Tea Towels and Fabric Only- Choose this option only if you have uploaded a horizontal 27" x 18" design. This will allow your design to print correctly onto tea towels (or fabric by the yard) and it will not show up on any other home decor or wallpaper products.
4.  Your designs will then show up in search, though it may take some time (10 - 15 minutes) for the servers to fully update these changes.

Setting Designs Back to Private

All designs will default to private initially when uploaded.  However, if you mark something as "For Sale", you can always change it back to "Private" at any time.  To do so, click on the thumbnail of the design in your design library to return to the Design Edit page, and simply toggle back to "Private" on the top of this page, as seen in the screenshot below.

You can also mark multiple designs as "Private" at once from your design library when viewing your designs as a list.   

1. Click the list icon to the left of the search bar.
2. Open up the "For Sale" filter on the left side to only see the designs currently for sale. 
3. Click the check mark next to each design you want to mark as "Private".  
4. Click on the "Edit Selected Designs" menu at the top and choose "Make Private" from the menu.
