CREATOR COMMERCE · STRIPE CONNECT
Bring useful work to the Sanctuary. Keep the money trail honest.
WHAT IT IS FOR
A clear doorway for ministry builders, teachers, writers, and designers.
Creator Commerce lets an authenticated creator enroll a public profile without a separate CrownThrive identity review. Stripe-hosted onboarding opens only after the server verifies the exact platform account, live mode, current terms, and owner mapping; Stripe then collects the private verification it requires. Seller checkout opens later, after the full payment, refund, dispute, and settlement flow is verified.
Automatic creator enrollment is not automatic product publication. Every seller product still needs verified ownership, rights-cleared immutable files, preview, delivery, accessibility, refund, dispute, and payment-event readiness. Sanctuary Credits can never be converted to cash.
Complete Stripe-hosted onboarding
My Sanctuary presents a numbered Create Stripe Account button followed by Continue Stripe Verification. Stripe collects identity, tax, and payout details; KJV Visualized never stores bank numbers or identity documents.
Pass the separate product gate
Auto-enrollment does not auto-publish a product. A creator product needs a stable work ID, immutable edition, rights-cleared files, preview, accessibility, delivery, refund, and dispute readiness.
Activate cash checkout
Cash checkout opens only after payment-event delivery is verified, settlement checks pass, the seller account is ready, and the product is approved. Sanctuary Credits remain unavailable for connected-seller products.
THE APPROVED MONEY MODEL
Destination charges. One seller per order. No quiet fallback.
When activated, CrownThrive will process the marketplace charge and bear the configured Stripe fees, refund, dispute, and negative-balance responsibility for this marketplace. Stripe will route the seller share to the ready connected account. Until the account, product, signed payment events, and settlement checks pass, checkout stays blocked instead of silently becoming a CrownThrive-owned sale.
- Seller share
- 70% before Stripe fees or disclosed adjustments
- Platform commission
- 30% of product subtotal
- Credits

- Payouts

VERSION DOCTRINE
V1 stays discoverable. V5 earns the name.
Foundation
First stable purchaser-ready edition.
Revised
Material editorial, accessibility, metadata, navigation, rights, or production correction.
Expanded
Substantive new chapters, tools, activities, formats, appendices, or utility.
Illustrated / Immersive
A cohesive visual system, continuity, preview, and designed presentation.
Flagship
Editorial, visual, rights, accessibility, previews, mockups, protected delivery, commerce proof, and release QA.
Earlier editions are not erased or silently replaced. Each edition keeps its own product ID, release record, change summary, and sale state. The newest worthy edition becomes the recommendation, while legitimate legacy and collector editions remain available.
PLAIN ANSWERS
Before a creator puts work or money on the line.
What is KJV Visualized Creator Commerce?
It is the marketplace path for authenticated United States ministry creators, teachers, writers, designers, and publishers. Public creator profiles can enroll independently; Stripe Account onboarding and seller checkout stay disabled until their separate verification checks pass.
Do I wait for CrownThrive to approve my Stripe enrollment?
No. The public creator profile enrolls automatically. Stripe then handles its required identity, tax, and payout verification. Each product still passes a separate rights, edition, delivery, accessibility, refund, and dispute gate before sale.
Can a connected-seller product accept Sanctuary Credits?
No. Sanctuary Credits remain closed-loop value for eligible CrownThrive-owned products and never become seller money, a payout balance, or cash.
What is the platform fee?
The Partner Circle Shop uses a disclosed 30% CrownThrive platform commission on product subtotal. The seller share is 70% before Stripe fees or adjustments. Refunds, disputes, and reversals remain visible in the recorded settlement history.
Does returning from Stripe mean a seller is ready?
No. The site reads Stripe requirements, transfer capability, and payout capability. A product also needs rights, immutable edition, delivery, accessibility, refund, and dispute approval before checkout can activate.
Where are identity and bank details stored?
Stripe collects and retains the identity, tax, bank, and payout information required for onboarding. My Sanctuary stores only the Stripe account reference and derived operating status needed for the marketplace.
Are old editions deleted when a new version appears?
No. Each legitimate edition keeps its own identity, artifact checksum, release record, and sale state. A new version must add material buyer value rather than merely changing a label or cover.
MY SANCTUARY
Enroll your public creator profile.
Creator enrollment, Stripe Account creation, hosted verification, status refresh, Express access, shop building, and product submission now have separate numbered actions. Seller cash checkout remains independently guarded until its payment, refund, dispute, and settlement flow is verified.
