Becoming a seller

Your seller account, payout handle, and the checks that keep your checkout live.


Seller account

Sign in with X and open the Studio. If you aren’t a seller yet, it walks you through three things: your payout handle, the watcher and your refund bond. Creating the account takes one click.

Payout handle

Your payout handle is your own X handle. Collectors always pay it directly — xnft.money never holds your funds, and a drop can’t use anyone else’s handle.

  • Your account is tied to your X account ID, which never changes — not to the handle. If you rename your X account, sign in to xnft.money again: your payout handle and open orders then follow the new name. Until you do, your watcher notices the rename and your checkout pauses, so no collector is sent to a handle that no longer reaches you.
  • Payments to a handle only ever count for the X account that owns it now: if someone else takes over a handle you used to have, what they receive can never settle or close your orders and refunds. Your checkout pauses to protect your buyers; contact us to restore it.

Checkout live or paused

The Studio header shows Checkout live or Checkout paused. While paused, every drop and listing of yours refuses new checkouts, so no collector pays into a dead end. It’s paused when any of these is true:

ReasonWhat to do
Watcher offlineNo heartbeat from your watcher for 90 seconds. Open Chrome and an x.com tab with X Money.
Watcher not healthyIt’s logged out, signed in to a different X account, or can’t read the page. The Watchers tab shows the detail.
Refund bond requiredYour bond is below $50 or 10× your median price. Top it up.
Refund overdueA refund passed its 3 days deadline. Send it (the bond may already have paid it).
Refunds disputed2 or more buyers say a refund never arrived. Our team is reviewing.
Fees unpaid / credit lowWhen platform fees are on: your prepaid credit can’t cover the next sale. Top it up.
PausedYou, or our team, paused your account. The reason is shown.
