I am a product designer with over 7 years of experience & can design pretty good UIs very quickly. Aside from my full-time job, I was thinking of starting to sell Figma community templates as a side hustle. I haven't decided on the niche yet but I plan to do landing page templates, UI kits, small mobile apps, slides etc... Looking for feedback & opinions from other people who are already doing it. Is it worth the effort and how much can I expect to earn from this if I am uploading 1-2 new templates every week?
I've just been made eligible to sell on Figma community and I'm so excited about it as it's been something that I've been working super hard to get. But the catch is that I need to be able to use Stripe for payment and since I live in South Africa (SA) where Stripe isn't yet available I can't sell.
I saw that Stripe owns Paystack, a payment platform available in SA but I don't it will translate to Figma. Is there anyone else that has experienced this issue that could help me out. I saw ways of having to create a company in the US or UK and link it to there but I don't want to get into a legal dispute or anything.
Edit: somehow, some way I got this to work this morning and have setup Stripe. I’ve emailed Figma twice and haven’t gotten a response but I’m in now.
Thanks for all the support and to those of you who are wanting to sell on community I truly wish you the best and hope that you’ll be able to sell soon!
