Make a game. Sell it.

How selling works

You make a game here, set a price in pounds, and it goes on sale. A buyer pays by card, and we email them a code. They type the code in and the game is theirs — and because a code works once on any account, they can pass it to a friend as a gift instead.

Money reaches you through Stripe, the payments company. You'll set up a payout account with them in a couple of minutes — that's where your share of each sale is sent.

You need an ARCADEBOX.AI account to sell. Signing in takes a moment.

Set up your payouts

Before you can sell anything, Stripe — the company that handles the card payments — needs to check who you are, the same as any bank would. You'll be sent to Stripe's own pages to give your name, address, date of birth and bank details, and to photograph an ID document if they ask for one. Those documents go to Stripe, not to us — we never see them or store them. It usually takes about five minutes, and you come straight back here afterwards.

Stripe still needs a bit more

Your payout account exists, but Stripe hasn't cleared it yet, so you can't put a game on sale just now. Here's what they're still waiting for:

Stripe hasn't told us exactly what's outstanding. Open the setup below and it will show you.

If you've just finished at Stripe, give it a minute — they tell us you're cleared a moment after you're done, and this page will say so once they have.

Your earnings

Money from a sale is held for 30 days before it can be paid out. That's because a buyer can dispute a card payment for up to 120 days — the hold means a disputed sale isn't paid out and then clawed back off you. It's your money either way; it just waits a month first.

Your games for sale

How the money works

• You keep 80% of every sale. ARCADEBOX.AI keeps 20%, and the card processing fees come out of our 20% — not your 80%. Sell a game at £10 and £8 is yours.
• Pounds only, £3.00 to £50.00. The lowest price is £3 because below that the card fee eats the whole sale — at 99p a sale actually loses money. £50 is the ceiling while the shop is new.
• Earnings are held for 30 days. A buyer can dispute a card payment for up to 120 days, so we hold new earnings for a month before paying out. Better you know that now than discover it on payday.
• Every sale sends the buyer a code. A code works once, on any account — so it can be given away as a gift rather than used by the person who paid.
• Stripe handles the payments and the ID checks. Your documents go to Stripe. We never see them, and we never store them.
