Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

Requirements

  • Marketplace for educational resources — sellers must upload original teaching materials; a SaaS product cannot be listed as a product
  • Seller path requires first a free Buyer account, then a paid seller tier: Basic Seller is a one-time non-refundable $29 USD; Premium is $59.95 USD/year
  • TPT requires the first uploaded resource be free ('Primary Free' resource)
  • Seller payout: Basic earns 55% with $0.30/resource fee; Premium earns 80% with $0.15 fee under $3 orders

Prepare before opening the form

  • An educational resource relevant to the product (e.g. a printable, lesson, or template) that can be offered free as the Primary Free resource
  • Free Buyer account first (name, email, password)
  • $29 for the Basic Seller upgrade (or $59.95/yr Premium)
  • Store name, profile blurb, logo; Hyperwallet payout setup if selling

Workflow

  1. Create a free Buyer account via the Sign Up button on teacherspayteachers.com
  2. From the logged-in account, open the Basic Seller upgrade page and click 'Join Now'
  3. Pay the $29 fee via PayPal ('Continue to payment')
  4. Set up the store profile (store name, logo, description with website reference)
  5. Upload the required Primary Free resource first, then additional resources

Watch for

  • Not a SaaS directory — only viable if the product can produce a genuinely educational resource; treat as marketing channel, not a listing
  • The $29 Basic fee is non-refundable and does NOT credit toward a later Premium upgrade
  • First resource MUST be free — plan the Primary Free asset before paying
  • teacherspayteachers.com/Signup returned 403 to automated fetch — use a real browser

What counts as live

A public TPT store page (teacherspayteachers.com/Store/<store-name>) exists with at least the free resource published

Not verified

  • Whether store profiles expose an external website link (and its follow status)
  • Whether non-teacher brand accounts are tolerated
  • Review moderation process for uploaded resources
