You can sell items (e.g. stickers, emoji, themes) on LINE STORE, the Sticker Shop, and the Theme Shop in countries where LINE is available.
Note: Exceptions apply to some countries.
If you want to limit the countries an item is available in, select Sale Region on the item registration screen > Distributein some available regions or Sell only in selected regions, then choose the countries where you want to sell your item.
Note:
- Creators Market items were at first only available in Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand; however, their availability was expanded from June 23, 2014.
- Items that were previously set to Distribute in all available regions have automatically been changed to Distribute in some available regions.
You can choose the price for each of your items (stickers, emoji, or themes) from the options listed below.
The payment methods available will vary depending on where your items are purchased.
Note:
- Select the image to enlarge it.
- Prices may change due to factors like sales tax revisions. For the latest prices, check LINE STORE or the Sticker Shop/Theme Shop in the LINE app.

Note: Earnings for currencies other than JPY may contain fractions due to currency conversion rates.
For purchases made up to April 30, 2015: 1 Coin = JPY 1.47

To change the price of items that are on sale, please follow the steps below:
1. From Manage Items, tap the stickers or theme you want to change the price of.
2. Tap Stop Sale on the top right to stop selling the item.
Note: To change the price of items already on sale, it is necessary to first temporarily suspend their sale.
3. Tap Price Tier, choose the price you want to set, then tap Save.
4. Tap Re-Open Sales to start selling the theme again.
Note: The Re-Open Sales button becomes active 3 hours after you have suspended the sale of an item.
When you change the price of items that are on sale, please be aware of the following:
• Once you suspend the sale of an item, you cannot put it on sale again for 3 hours.
• A countdown will begin, telling you how much longer you have to wait before you can tap the Re-Open Sales button.
• After the countdown finishes, a notification saying "You can re-open sales for this content now." appears, and the Re-Open Sales button becomes active.
• Once you change an item's price, you cannot change it again until 24 hours have passed after choosing Re-Open Sales.
• If a user purchases an item and is charged the old price due to a problem with their app or other issue, the sales amount will be calculated based on the old price.
The creator can stop selling their stickers and themes whenever they wish. Please note that users who have purchased the stickers and themes will continue to be able to use them.
No, you cannot sell a theme where you have only changed the color scheme. In order to sell a new theme, you are required to provide a theme with all new illustrations.
If a user has a version of LINE older than when the creator submitted the theme for review, it will not appear in the Theme Shop for that user.
E.g. A creator submitted and started selling a theme with LINE version 5.9, however the theme will not appear for users on LINE version 5.8. Those users will be able to purchase the theme if they update the app to version 5.9.
Every sticker set and theme that is submitted must undergo a review process to make sure they meet our criteria before they can go on sale. Stickers and themes can be sold once they have passed the review.
Items (e.g. stickers, themes, emoji) cannot be distributed for free. You need to put them on sale and people need to purchase them before they can be used. Even if you are the one that created the items, you need to purchase them to use them.
Note:
- You can download the sticker sets you submit using the LINE Sticker Maker app after June 26, 2019 for free. (This only applies to Creators downloading their own sticker sets.)
- You cannot download your stickers for free if you submitted them in version 4.0 or above of the LINE Sticker Maker app with the Paid download with revenue shares setting enabled.
If you want to sell your stickers only to family or friends, please change the privacy settings.
Changes to the LINE Stickers Premium setting will be applied the following month.

• Even if you select Join on the Product Details screen, stickers that have been on the market for less than 180 days cannot be a part of the LINE Stickers Premium service.
