Step 1: Sign Up for a Creator Account on RS Digitals

The first step in launching your digital products store is creating a Creator Account on the RS Digitals website. It’s quick and easy!

Head over to our homepage and click on the “Creator Signup/Login” button located at the top right corner. This will take you to the registration page where you can create your account and start your journey as a digital seller.

Step 2: Fill Out the Sign-Up Form to Create Your Account

Once you click on the “Creator Signup/Login” button, you’ll be redirected to the sign-up page. Here, you’ll see a simple form that you need to fill out in order to create your RS Digitals Creator account.

The sign-up process is quick and straightforward. Below is a breakdown of each field you’ll need to complete:

  1. Email Address – This is a required field. Enter a valid email address that you have access to.
  2. Password – Choose a strong and secure password to protect your account.
  3. First Name – Enter your first name.
  4. Last Name – Add your last name.
  5. Company Name (optional) – If you’re representing a business, enter your company’s name. If not, you can leave this field blank.
  6. Phone Number – Add your phone number for contact and verification purposes.
  7. Date of Birth – Select your date of birth from the calendar picker.
  8. Store Name – Give your digital product store a unique and catchy name.
  9. Store URL – This is an important one! Enter a custom, unique URL for your store.
    • If your chosen URL is available, you’ll see a green message saying: “The URL is available.”
    • If it’s already taken, you’ll see a red message: “This URL is not available.” In that case, just tweak your store URL until you see the green confirmation.

Once all fields are filled in and your store URL is confirmed, go ahead and click the “Register” button to complete your account setup.

Step 3: Wait for Account Approval and Access Your Creator Dashboard

When you submit the sign-up request the application will be evaluated through the RS Digitals team. It usually is approximately 1-2 working days. When your account is accepted and you’ll be sent an acknowledgement email which includes a direct URL to the creator dashboard.

Check your email inbox (and the junk/spam folder to be safe) to see if you have received the confirmation email.

In the email you receive inside, there’s the option to sign in to your account dashboard. Once there, you can begin creating your online store.

Step 4: Access Your Creator Dashboard

Once you receive your approval email, click on the Creator Dashboard link provided—usually something like this: https://www.rsdigitals.com/creator-dashboard/

It will direct you to the dashboard for RS Digitals Creator, and that’s where the true magic happens!

In the dashboard, you’ll discover everything you need to know about the settings and tools needed to set up and run a functional online store. From uploading your items to setting up your storefront’s design, everything is organized to allow you to set it up quickly, even when you’re just starting out.
