How to buy and sell on the world’s most organized battlemap marketplace.

Applying to sell

Your storefront

Every vendor has a public store page at /store/your-slug, and every map you list links back to it. It exists the moment you’re approved — nothing here is required before you start uploading.

Edit it from your Selling dashboard’s Store tab:

• Store name and about text — shown at the top of your page. Your store’s address stays fixed even if you rename it later, so links people already have keep working.
• Banner and picture — the band across the top and the circular image over it. Both are previewed at the exact shape they’ll render at, so you can see how a crop will look before saving.
• Links — your website, Discord, Patreon, socials, and a contact email. Any left blank simply doesn’t show an icon.

Below that, your store page shows your catalogue the same way browse renders any listing grid — shoppers see your published and privately shared listings, and you additionally see your own drafts when you’re signed in. If you’ve arranged your catalogue into collections, shoppers can filter to just one from a menu on your store page.

Listing a map for sale

Start a new listing and you land in the editor — one screen: Assets and gallery images on one side, the details that describe them on the other.

• Map file — the image being sold, plus an optional Foundry sidecar for the same version (see Foundry Files).
• Versions — add more if you’re selling day/night variants, a flooded state, or similar depictions of one map. Each gets its own files.
• Gallery — up to five extra marketing images, shown alongside the map itself on the listing page.
• Title, price, description, grid — the map grid size is displayed in search and browse. If you don’t enter a grid size it’s ok. The pixel dimensions of your map will be shown instead.
• Attributes — the season, era, structure, and other traits of the map. These are searchable and filterable, so buyers can find your map by what’s actually in it.

When you’re ready to publish, you have two options — both are real sales:

You can move a public listing to private and back at no cost — the credit is already held either way. Details on what “held” means are in Credits & fees.

Listing maps in bulk

You can bulk import maps to rapidly create drafts of your entire catalog at once, in a couple of clicks. The video above can show you how to use the bulk import, but there are a few additional things to know:

• When importing, each map file becomes its own draft, titled from its filename.
• Any sidecar file is paired to its map automatically by matching filename — hall.png pairs with hall.dd2vtt. If your bulk upload includes a VTT file without a matching map, it will be ignored.
• You can set a price and grid size to be applied to all the maps in the import, or leave everything blank and fill it in per-listing afterward.
• Import only creates drafts. It does not publish your maps. You can publish each draft individually, or in bulk from your catalog once you’re sure the information is correct.
• If an upload fails partway through you can try again. Retrying resumes into the draft it already started rather than creating a duplicate.

Map packs and bundles

You can sell several maps together as one bundle by creating a map pack.

• From the Selling Dashboard, go to Packs.
• Create a new Map Pack and give it a name.
• Search for and add the maps you want to include in the pack. Adding a map includes all its variants (night, winter, summer, if any).
• A pack needs at least two maps, each published or shared privately, before it can be published.
• You can add up to 5 gallery images to help customers understand the offer.
• Map packs occupy a listing credit.

Customers who purchase your map pack receive access to all the maps in that pack.

Collections

A collection is a named shelf on your storefront — a way to group your own maps and packs (Halloween one-shot, a dungeon crawl, everything in one biome) so shoppers browsing your store can filter to just that set. It shows up as a menu on /store/your-slug only — it has no effect on /browse.

Manage yours from the Collections tab of your Selling dashboard.

Add drafts to one as you build them out, in any order, before anything is published. Arranging listings into a collection costs nothing — it doesn’t touch price, status, or listing credits, and shoppers only ever see the published items inside it.

Gifting a map to a buyer

You can grant one of your own maps or packs to a specific buyer for free, straight from the Gifts tab of your Selling dashboard.

Gifting a pack grants every map inside it individually, the same as buying one. The recipient needs an existing FightPlane account — there’s no way to gift someone who hasn’t signed up yet, and the gift simply fails rather than waiting for them to join.

Gifting costs nothing — no listing credit, no fee — no matter how many you send.

Listing credits

Every map listed on FightPlane requires a single Listing Credit before it can be published. A vendor can create unlimited drafts without credits. But to publish a map to the FightPlane catalog, or to publish it privately for sale on FightPlane, requires one credit per listing.

Buy more any time from the Credits tab of your Selling dashboard — it also shows how many you have available right now. Credits are no more than 10¢ apiece, but less if you purchase more at a time.

Seller fees, commission and payouts

Every sale has two deductions from your listed price:

Ownership is permanent, and there are no refunds

Purchases are final and non-refundable. Once a purchase is complete and a map provided to the customer, it cannot be revoked by either the vendor or the buyer. This policy reflects the unique nature of digital goods: once a file is accessed or downloaded, no one can meaningfully remove access to it. Therefore, purchases on FightPlane are considered permanent. Though there are a few narrow exceptions explained below.

Ownership can only be reversed by an admin, and only for fraud, a copyright takedown, or platform abuse — never at a vendor’s request and never automatically because a listing changed.

Chargebacks and disputes

A cardholder dispute filed with your bank (a “chargeback”) is different from a refund issued by the platform — Disputes occur between the customer and their bank, and are not something the platform can control. If successful, a dispute automatically reverses the entitlement it paid for, because the funds are already gone either way.

For vendors, this is real cost: every dispute — win or lose — carries a flat, non-refundable fee, on top of losing the sale itself. Accurate listings and working files are the best protection against one being filed at all.

Content standards and AI disclosure

If part of a map’s art was produced with generative AI, that’s disclosed on the listing as its own flag — separate from art style, because style is what a map looks like and this is how it was made. A painterly map with an AI-generated base is both, and the disclosure can’t be swapped out for a style tag instead. Buyers can see this on every listing before they buy, and it can be filtered on in browse for anyone who cares either way.

Any signed-in buyer can report a listing straight from its page — for nudity or NSFW content, low-effort or AI-slop art, or a trademark or copyright problem. An admin reviews every report, and their decision to leave the listing up or take it down is final.

Vendors are expected to list only work they have the right to sell. Copyright complaints are handled by an admin and can result in a listing being taken down or, in serious or repeated cases, a vendor account being closed.

Accounts and privacy

• Email verification. Signing up with a password requires clicking a verification link before you can sign in. Signing up with Google skips this step — Google has already verified the address.
• Linking accounts. If you sign up with a password and later sign in with Google using the same address, the two are only linked together once both are verified — this stops someone else from hijacking your email by registering it first.
• Cart before sign-in. Adding maps to your cart before creating an account is safe — it carries over the moment you sign in or sign up, rather than starting you over.
• Downloads are logged. Every time a download link is issued to a buyer, that’s recorded — it’s what protects vendors against piracy and gives them real sales data. A vendor fetching their own uploaded file is not logged this way.
• Sales tax. Where it applies, tax is calculated and added automatically at checkout based on the purchase — you never need to work it out yourself.

The legal documents

Everything above is a plain-language summary. These four documents are what actually governs — each one lives on its own page, and every page on the site links back to them from the footer.

Exporting a Universal VTT file, as a vendor

You don’t need Foundry itself to produce a sidecar — you need a map-making tool with a Universal VTT exporter. The most common:

• Dungeondraft — a purpose-built battlemap editor with a native “Export Universal VTT” option that writes walls and lights from what you drew directly to a .dd2vtt file.
• DungeonFog and Arkenforge— both offer their own Universal VTT export for maps built in their editors.
• Hand-authoring the JSON format directly is possible but rarely worth it — it’s meant to be a machine-readable export, not something typed by hand.

Upload the map image and its sidecar together on the same version in the editor, reached from your catalogue — they’re paired automatically by which version you attach them to, and bulk import pairs them by matching filename. A version with only a sidecar and no map image isn’t a valid listing; there has to be something to look at.

Importing it into Foundry VTT, as a buyer

Foundry VTT has a built-in importer for Universal VTT files: from the Scenes tab, choose Import and point it at the .dd2vtt/.uvtt/.df2vtt file you downloaded. It creates the scene, places the walls, and drops in the lights automatically — no manual tracing.

If a map you bought has no sidecar, it’s still fully usable in Foundry — drop the image straight in as a scene background the same as any other picture. The sidecar only matters if you want the walls and lights placed for you instead of by hand.

Don’t want to trace walls by hand? Try Auto Wall

Placing every wall and light by hand in a map editor is the slow part of producing a sidecar. Auto Wall is a free, third-party desktop tool that does it from the finished image instead: it uses edge and colour detection to find wall lines and light sources on a battlemap and exports them straight to .uvtt. It’s not part of FightPlane, and nothing about listing here requires it — hand-tracing in Dungeondraft or another editor works exactly as well — but it’s a fast way to add a sidecar to art that didn’t come with one.
