No. On the Basic membership at Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) you can sell on TPT and on your own store, and many sellers will do both.
What matters is which TPT membership you hold from January 1, 2027.
- Basic. You can sell anywhere. Keep your TPT store open. It stays your shop window while your own store grows.
- Exclusive. Your digital teaching resources can be sold only on TPT. You can still have your own website, give away free resources and build an email list. The store itself waits until you leave Exclusive.
We will not build a way around the Exclusive rule. Hidden stores, password-protected pages and second accounts put your TPT account at risk.
