Thank you.

Hi,

Could you clarify what you mean by “define the price in the catalog”? Are you referring to setting a price for a watch face you’ve created, or is this about something else? Let us know so we can assist you better.

Thank you!

in the uploading phase of your watchfaces, you can decide to pay for your watchfaces, or you can add a donation button, but all this only if you are a verified author.
I warn you, however, that it will be very difficult to do so, because you must first demonstrate your ability to create watchfaces, they must be original, you must offer support to users who download them and a series of rules which you can find in the appropriate section.

Even after reaching the milestone of being a verified author, if you want to add a donate button for your work, it doesn't work with our users.
In 3 months I received 2 euros.
So everything you do won't be to earn money but just as a hobby.

there are many users who send me requests privately or send messages to modify my creations but without compensating my time. They expect everything to be free. For me, who already have a job, this does not represent an obstacle to continuing, but for others this must be taken into consideration.

Unfortunately our community, unlike other platforms such as facer.io, does not consider donation a tool to reward our work.

@dporte, to publish paid content on our platform, an author must first contribute a number of free watchfaces to demonstrate their abilities and commitment. Once you reached the Watchface makers group (which allows for publishing without moderation), the option to upload paid content becomes available.

If you’re not yet a Verified Author, you can still include donation links or reference paid content by adding a clickable link via the complaint button option. Keep in mind that all uploaded work must meet our quality standards and align with community rules.

If you need more information, feel free to ask!

Unfortunately our community, unlike other platforms such as facer.io, does not consider donation a tool to reward our work.

Unfortunately, as a platform, we cannot provide a payment processing system like Facer.io due to the numerous legal and logistical challenges it involves. From the very beginning, our project was designed to be free and community-driven.

The addition of functionality allowing authors to monetize their content was a necessary compromise to meet the demands of creators. While we understand the importance of rewarding authors for their work, creating a fully-fledged marketplace isn’t feasible within our framework.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support for our platform.

Dear Gik,
mine was not a criticism of our platform, which I consider fantastic, because it embodies the open source spirit that I have always pursued in my life. Making a work that requires sacrifice and commitment free is an act of good that the world needs in all fields, from pharmaceuticals to science in general. Donating a creation to an author is also a cultural and target issue. Owners of an Apple Watch or Samsung Watch, for example, are much more likely to spend even 5 euros for a Watchfaces, considering that they don't even represent the cost of a cap at the bar.
The Android community in general is less likely to spend money. Mine was a very general discussion and it didn't involve this site that I love.

Thank you all, it is really clear.
Here is my watchface: https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/t-rex/view/14685
Yes i also understand it is a hobby. But i also see many paid watchface which didn't fullfill my needs, so i created my own.
