# Superhive exclusivity vs multi-marketplace: seller decision checklist

*Not legal or marketplace advice. Quotes below come from Superhive (formerly Blender Market) creator Help / Terms as of 2026-10-15. Other storefronts’ exclusivity clauses change — re-open* ***their*** *terms before you dual-list. This article does not link or endorse any of our live products.*

Here the only job is: does Superhive lock you into exclusivity, and how should you decide when **another** marketplace does?

## 1) Lead answer

1.  **Superhive does not require exclusivity.** Creator Terms state they maintain **no exclusivity policy** and you may sell the same products on **any other marketplaces** or in **any other manner** you choose ([Terms of Use — Creator](https://support.superhivemarket.com/article/44-terms-of-use-creator)). A dedicated Help article says the same in plain language: own site, cousin’s site, **even competitors’ sites** ([Selling Your Products on Other Sites](https://support.superhivemarket.com/article/56-sell-products-on-other-sites)).
    
2.  **Higher commission is not an exclusivity club.** Marketing Help: “no exclusivity rules and no super-duper StaleMate club to get a higher commission rate”; commission ranges **70%–90%** by **subscription** level ([Why You Should Sell…](https://support.superhivemarket.com/article/51-why-you-should-sell-products-on-blender-market)).
    
3.  **Multi-marketplace listing ≠ using Superhive as an off-checkout funnel.** Creator Policy still forbids exchanging personal/financial contact or **directions to purchase via another site** in order to **evade Superhive checkout** ([Creator Policy](https://support.superhivemarket.com/article/277-creator-seller-policy)). Dual-list on Gumroad (or elsewhere) under that store’s own checkout; do not turn the Superhive product page into a referral flyer that bypasses Superhive payment.
    
4.  **When a *different* marketplace requires exclusivity**, treat that store’s written exclusivity / exclusivity-for-rate clause as the binding constraint on **that** SKU — Superhive’s non-exclusivity does **not** override the other store’s contract. Exact terms of named competitors were **not verified** this pass (not fetched); open their current seller agreement yourself.
    

## 2) What Superhive documents (and what it does not)

| Topic | Superhive position (archived Help) | Not this article |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Exclusivity policy | **None** — sell elsewhere freely (44, 56, 51) | — |
| Competitors | Explicitly allowed (56) | Naming which competitor is “better” |
| Commission vs exclusivity | Higher rates via **subscription**, not exclusivity club (51) | Full fee tables |
| Platform sales / deals | Autotroph may run sales/negotiated deals; email + **opt-out window**; silence = included; earnings may differ (44) | Pricing strategy |
| Checkout evasion | Forbidden to push buyers off Superhive checkout via contact / external purchase instructions (277) | Generic “honest listing” |
| Original work / IP | Must be yours or adequately licensed to redistribute (44, 277) | Full IP policy walkthrough |

## 3) Decision checklist (when exclusivity appears on *another* store)

Use this before you put the **same digital asset** on Superhive **and** Store X (or choose X-only).

| # | Check | Pass signal |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Open **Store X** current seller / exclusivity / “exclusive rate” terms | You have a dated PDF or Help URL, not a forum rumor |
| 2 | Scope of exclusivity | Same **file / SKU / category** only? Worldwide? Time-limited? |
| 3 | Rate trade | Is a better cut **conditional** on exclusivity? (Superhive explicitly says it does **not** run that club — Help 51.) |
| 4 | Superhive side | Help 44/56 still allow other marketplaces — so the conflict, if any, is **Store X’s** clause, not Superhive’s |
| 5 | Checkout honesty on Superhive | Listing still sells **on** Superhive; no “buy cheaper on my Gumroad” evasion text (Help 277) |
| 6 | License / redistribution | Your license to buyers on each store is consistent with what you uploaded (Help 44 license responsibility) |
| 7 | Support load | Two storefronts → two support inboxes; Superhive still expects adequate support via Inbox (Help 44) |
| 8 | Platform-initiated discounts | Superhive may discount with equal reduction across parties (Help 44) — plan margin assuming that can happen unless you opt out in time |
| 9 | Gumroad / other store fee models | Separate fee docs (e.g. Gumroad direct vs Discover) — **not verified**; don’t mix them into Superhive math here or invent net “take-home” |
| 10 | Exit / delist | If Store X exclusivity ends or you leave Superhive — transfer rules **not verified**; re-read both ToS |

If Store X’s exclusivity forbids other marketplaces for that asset, **pick one primary** (or a non-overlapping SKU bundle) rather than hoping Superhive’s non-exclusivity saves you on Store X’s side.

## 4) Practical multi-marketplace patterns (non-prescriptive)

| Pattern | Fits Superhive docs? | Honesty note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Same Blender asset on Superhive + own site | Yes (56) | Keep checkout separate; don’t evade Superhive checkout from the Superhive page (277) |
| Same asset on Superhive + Gumroad / other market | Yes on Superhive side (44/56); **other store’s exclusivity not verified until you read it** | Version / price / license text can drift — sync changelogs |
| Superhive-only exclusive “club” for better cut | **Not how Superhive markets rates** (51) | Commission tiers = subscription |
| Superhive listing that only redirects off-site | Conflicts with Creator Policy checkout-evasion rules (277) | Don’t |

## 5) What this article does not do

It does not rehash apply→publish timing, listing imagery / commission formulas / payout calendars, or Gumroad Discover / refunds / tax. It does **not** quote Unity Asset Store, CGTrader, or other competitors’ exclusivity clauses — those remain **not verified** until you archive their official pages.
