How the marketplace works

When you create a sticker pack on SticKit, it becomes part of our public marketplace by default. Here's the deal in plain language.

01

Auto-publish, on by default

Every Telegram pack you create or add stickers to gets registered with our marketplace automatically. We don't host or copy your stickers — Telegram does. We just keep a metadata index pointing at `t.me/addstickers/<your-pack>` so other people can discover it.

02

How to opt out

There's a toggle next to the upload button labeled "Publish to marketplace". Flip it off and we won't index further changes to that pack. The toggle state is remembered per-browser. Already-published? See below.

03

Owning and removing your pack

Your pack is tied to your Telegram user ID at publish time — that's the proof of ownership. From the editor's pack management view you can unpublish at any time and the listing disappears from the marketplace within seconds.

04

What we don't do

We don't claim copyright. We don't watermark. We don't sell your data. The marketplace is a discovery layer on top of Telegram packs you already made public by sharing them with `t.me/addstickers/...` URLs — that's the entire model.

05

Reporting and content

If you spot a pack that violates law or platform terms (copyright, hate, spam, NSFW where it's not flagged), use the share menu's "Report" link. We review and hide problematic packs manually for now; automated moderation comes later.

06

WhatsApp, Discord, and the rest

Today the marketplace indexes Telegram packs only — they're already URL-public, no extra storage needed. WhatsApp `.wastickers` packs and Discord emoji collections are next: same toggle, different bytes-on-our-server tradeoffs.
