Marketplace Payments
Common questions about buying and selling blueprints on the marketplace.
Is LynxPrompt free to use?
Yes. All features — the wizard, blueprints, AI editing, API access, and CLI — are free. The only payments that exist are optional marketplace purchases when a blueprint creator sets a price.
How do marketplace payments work?
When the platform has payments enabled (ENABLE_STRIPE=true), blueprint creators can set a price (minimum €5) on their blueprints. Buyers pay through Stripe at checkout. The seller receives 70% and the platform takes a 30% commission.
What payment methods are accepted?
All major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through Stripe. The exact amount is shown before you confirm.
Can I get a refund for a blueprint purchase?
Per EU digital content regulations, refunds aren't available after download because you consent to immediate access. Refunds may be considered for non-delivery or technical issues — contact [email protected].
How do seller payouts work?
When you have at least €5 in available earnings, you can request a payout. Payouts are sent via PayPal and typically process within 3-5 business days. See Payouts documentation for details.
What currency are prices in?
All prices are in Euros (EUR). Stripe automatically converts to your card's currency at checkout.
Are payments available on self-hosted instances?
Only if the instance administrator enables Stripe by setting ENABLE_STRIPE=true and providing valid Stripe API keys. Without this, the marketplace is free-only and all blueprints can be downloaded at no cost.
