What is Stripe?
Stripe is one of the world's most trusted payment platforms, used by millions of businesses. It handles all credit card processing, fraud prevention, and payouts so you never have to manage sensitive payment data yourself. Creating a Stripe account is free.
Connect your Stripe account
Go to Seller Dashboard → Settings → "Connect Stripe." You'll need your legal name, date of birth, last 4 of your SSN, and bank account details. If you already have a Stripe account, you can connect the same one.
Managing your Stripe dashboard
Log in at dashboard.stripe.com for transaction history, payout reports, bank account updates, and tax documents. A 1099-K is provided if your earnings exceed the IRS threshold.
"Connection failed"
Make sure all info matches your legal documents exactly. Stripe may ask for a photo ID.
"No payout yet"
First payouts can take 7–14 days. Check your Stripe dashboard for status.
"Can I use PayPal?"
Seller payouts go through Stripe only. Buyers can pay via PayPal at checkout.
Set Up Your Storefront
Your storefront is your professional home on RelayEd. Buyers who see a complete, credible profile are far more likely to purchase.
Create Great Content
RelayEd buyers are clinicians and educators who value accuracy, efficiency, and real-world applicability.
Be discipline-specific
Resources labelled by exam, role, or clinical setting are far easier for buyers to find and trust.
Evidence-informed = your edge
Cite your sources, note guideline alignment, and reflect current clinical practice.
Ready to use, not to edit
The closer your resource is to "download and use today," the more value it provides.
Think in bundles from the start
Designing with bundles in mind grows your catalogue faster and increases average order value.
Invest in listing visuals
A clean, well-designed cover image dramatically increases click-through.
Write descriptions that sell
Lead with who this is for and what problem it solves. Include what's inside, suggested use cases, and any prerequisites.
Ideas to get you started
Design with Canva
Canva is a free, browser-based design tool for building polished worksheets, cover pages, slides, and social graphics — no design skills required.
Quick Reference

Selling Digital Products
Most resources on RelayEd are digital downloads — PDFs and PNGs — that buyers can use immediately after purchase.
Supported File Types
How to list a digital product
From your Seller Dashboard → Products → "List Item":
- Title: Be specific and search-friendly (e.g. "NAPLEX Pharmacy Calculations — 50 Questions with Answer Key")
- Description: Who it's for, what problem it solves, what's included, file format (PDF or PNG), page count
- Cover image: A polished 1280 × 720 px cover (see Part 7)
- Price & file: Set pricing, attach your digital file
How buyers receive your files
After purchase, buyers get an order confirmation with a download link — no shipping, no waiting. This makes digital products the easiest way to start earning on RelayEd.
Top-selling digital product types
Practice question sets
NAPLEX, NCLEX, USMLE prep with answer keys
Quick-reference charts
Drug tables, lab values, dosing charts
Case studies
Clinical reasoning scenarios with teaching notes
Slide decks & lectures
Ready-to-teach presentations
Market to Your Buyers
Your best buyers are already in your professional network. You don't need a huge following — just the right message sent to the right people.
1. Start with personal outreach
Think of 5–10 colleagues or students who'd genuinely benefit from your resource. Send a personal message — lead with the problem you're solving, not the product.
Sample Message
"Hi [Name], I just launched a resource on RelayEd. Knowing you teach [pharmacology/NAPLEX/clinical rotations], I thought [specific resource] might save you some prep time. Happy to send you the link."
2. Use social media strategically
LinkedIn reaches program directors and preceptors. TikTok and Instagram reach students and early-career clinicians. Facebook groups are high-intent communities. Post value first (a clinical tip, a free worksheet preview), then link to your storefront.
3. Tap your academic & CE network
Former collaborators, residency directors, and CE co-presenters are your warmest audience. A simple email sharing your storefront link goes a long way.
4. Optimise for search
Use high-intent keywords in your product titles and descriptions:
5. Let RelayEd promote you
Pro and Premium sellers get product promotion on RelayEd's social channels and homepage features, plus co-marketing opportunities.
6. Build a buyer community around your storefront
As you grow, build a simple email list, reference your RelayEd storefront in your email signature, or create a "teaching resources" highlight on Instagram. Become the go-to source in your niche.
Why RelayEd? What Makes Us Different
Generic platforms let you upload a file and collect payment. RelayEd gives you an audience, a community, and a platform that works as hard as you do.
A Marketplace for Healthcare, Built by Healthcare
Generic digital marketplaces mix your clinical study guides in with craft templates, party printables, and hobby resources. RelayEd is the only marketplace built exclusively for healthcare professionals. Every buyer on the platform is a clinician, student, or educator who came specifically for resources like yours.
Real Networking with Healthcare Colleagues
RelayEd is a professional community, not just a storefront. On RelayEd, Pro and Premium sellers access exclusive chat channels organized by specialty and can collaborate on resources, get peer feedback, share clinical insights, and build the kind of professional network that can advance your career.
- Exclusive seller-only chat channels by specialty (Pro & Premium)
- Peer connections with clinicians and educators nationwide
- Community forums for resource creators in healthcare
Host Live Shows: Teach, Demo, and Sell in Real Time

- Direct product links shareable on any social channel
- Use your RelayEd store URL as a clean link-in-bio destination

When a follower comments "CLAIM," they are automatically sent a direct message with a personalized checkout link. No redirects, no searching, no friction.
