Summary: This guide walks you through setting up your Author Profile page, managing your personal information, and preparing your account to start selling on Envato.
Welcome to Envato! We’re so happy you’re here. If you have just signed up, you will need to complete four onboarding tasks in your Author Profile to get started:
- Your Tax information: ensure you are charged the right amount of tax on your Envato earnings. Read more in our help section on Tax Forms if you need more information.
- Your payout method: let us know where to send your earnings! For more details on the payout options available to you, head to our article Getting started with the Envato payout system.
- Trader Declaration: we need to know if you are operating as a Trader on our platform. Learn more about this here: Trader Status under the EU Digital Services Act
- Your ID check: for the safety of our marketplace, we need to verify your identity. This step will become available after you have completed the above three steps. Learn more about ID checks here: Author ID Checks
These four steps will need to be completed before you can start uploading your items and earning money with Envato. Once completed, your Author Profile will be a central hub for you to manage your information, go to upload pages, and view your accumulating earnings.
Important: Name verification requirement
The name in your General Information must exactly match the name on your government-issued ID or Business Registration. Before you start, double-check that your details are consistent.
Mismatched names may impact your ability to get paid.
Manage your profile
This section provides you with links to enter, or update, your tax information, payout method, and trader declaration. Once you have completed those, your ID check will become available (if you have not already completed one).
Balances
Here you can see your current earnings balances for both Envato Market and Envato Elements (if you are an Elements contributor). The balances shown are the amounts we will attempt to pay you each month and will increase with the previous month’s earnings around the 8th of the month. Check out our Market Earnings FAQs article for more information about your balances displayed in this section, and see our Introduction to Earnings article for more general information about earnings.
Discover our ecosystem
In this section, you can learn about our different shopfronts and marketplaces and also access our Upload Guide and Upload Methods articles for information on how to upload your items.
Please note, in order to upload and publish content to Envato Elements, you must first submit an application for review. If approved, you will then be able to start uploading content to Envato Elements for the content type you were approved for. Please submit your application here. You can upload to Envato Market sites without submitting an application.
