Getting Started: Publishers, Estates & Agents

This walkthrough takes you from zero to your first live, licensable title. Estimated time: 45–60 minutes.

1. Create your organisation

Sign up, then on the onboarding screen choose Rights-holder. Enter your trading name, country, primary contact, and ABN (if AU). You'll automatically become the org owner.

2. Connect Stripe for payouts

Go to Billing → Connect Stripe and complete Stripe Express onboarding. This takes 3–5 minutes and unlocks net-7 payouts. Until charges_enabled is true, producers can't pay you.

3. List your first title

Open My catalogue → New play
Enter title, author, synopsis, cast size, duration
Upload a cover image (3:4 portrait works best)
Toggle Amateur and/or Professional availability
Set territories (defaults to worldwide)
Define pricing rules (flat fee, percentage, or hybrid)
Upload your master script PDF — it will be watermarked per-recipient automatically on download

Toggle Published on. Your title now appears in the public catalogue and on your storefront page.
