Go to a design that you are interested, then click "Make an offer" to start making an offer.

Note: The "Make an offer" button is available only when the designer allows us to sell their designs on the platform. Even though the designer doesn't sell their art on the platform, you still can contact them for more details about the design. You can designers will negotiate to finalize the price, and Patternfield does not involve in this process.

Regarding the buyout type, you can see all details about the design below the image (overview, details and reviews from other buyers). You can contact the artists for more information about the design by clicking the contact button. You can make an offer if you are interested in this design.

Enter a price you would like to spend on this design then send the offer to the designer.

You also can read our buyout terms before making the offer.

The offer will be in your inbox page after sending the offer. You only need to wait for the response from the designer. You can see the current status of the offer. You can send a direct message at the same time.

The offer for licensing a design is different from the buyout type. After clicking the "Make an offer" button, a pop-up appears with all details of your offer, including:

  • If you choose to use your company's license terms

  • A field to add the link to your company's terms (mandatory)

  • License fees to choose:

    • Flat fee: The buyer would pay a fixed amount for the design. The buyer and designer negotiate to finalize the flat fee.

    • Royalty with Upfront Advance: The buyer pays an upfront advance to the designer for their work, which is typically a percentage of the estimated total royalty or sales that the design is expected to generate. The percentage of the royalty may vary depending on the agreement between the buyer and designer.

    • Royalty no Upfront Advance: The artist will receive a percentage of the sales or royalties generated from the use or sale of the design. The percentage of the royalty may vary depending on the agreement between the buyer and designer.

  • The fee you would like to spend on this design based on the license type you choose.

If the buyer does not use their company's license terms, a transaction terms sheet made by Patternfield shows up, asking them to fill in. This is our non-binding terms sheet, which establish a mutual understanding for your licensing agreement. Please note that these terms do not constitute legal advice and we strongly advise that you engage a qualified lawyer to prepare and finalize your license agreement.

Read HERE to for the explanation of the transaction terms sheet.

The offer will be in your inbox page after sending the offer. You only need to wait for the response from the designer. You can see the current status of the offer. You can send a direct message at the same time.
