Feature
Buy, apply and sell link in bio themes
A theme is a finished design: background effect, colours, fonts, button style and the rest, saved as a package someone else can start from. The marketplace is where creators publish them and everyone else can buy one instead of building from scratch.
Buying and applying a theme
- Buy a theme on the marketplace. It goes into your library and unlocks the paid shop items it uses.
- Open the editor, go to the Theme tab and choose Apply a Purchased Theme.
- The design loads into the editor as a single step you can undo with Cmd+Z. Nothing goes live until you press Save.
What to know before you buy
- A theme costs at least as much as the shop items inside it, so it is never cheaper than buying the parts.
- Accounts without Pro get the theme without its Pro-only settings. The listing and the purchase dialog name exactly which ones before you pay.
- Themes are not exclusive: other people can own the same one.
Selling a theme
Publishing is a Pro feature. You earn 80% of the design fee, meaning the price above the cost of the shop items inside it, paid in XBio credits. Credits can be spent on the platform; they are not a cash payout.
A design is locked once it has sold, so buyers always get what they saw. You can still change its name, description and price.
Questions
- Do I get paid in money when my theme sells?
- No. Creator earnings are paid in XBio credits, which can be spent in the shop and marketplace and have no cash value outside XBio.
- Does buying a theme change my profile?
- Not by itself. You apply it from the editor's Theme tab, can undo it, and nothing is public until you save.
- Can I buy a theme without Pro?
- Yes. You get the design without its Pro-only settings, and the listing tells you which those are before you buy.
