# Project Review Process

Every new project on Tebex must complete a **Store Review** before it can go live and begin accepting payments. This process ensures that all projects comply with legal requirements, intellectual property guidelines, and our platform standards.

### Why project Reviews Are Required

The review process helps us ensure:

* No copyrighted or infringing content is being sold
* Packages are configured correctly and deliver content as described
* The project complies with all Tebex policies, terms, and legal obligations

This review protects both creators and buyers and upholds the integrity of the Tebex platform.

***

### What Happens Before Approval?

Until your project is approved:

* Payments cannot be accepted
* The project is not publicly visible
* You can still use **Test Mode** to simulate purchases and validate package delivery

***

### How to Submit for Review

1. Complete all tasks in the project Setup Checklist
2. Once setup is complete, a **Submit for Review** button will appear in the **top-right** of your Creator Dashboard
3. Click the button to begin the review process

***

### Tips for a Successful Review

* Ensure all packages are complete, functional, and accurately described
* Remove any test or placeholder content
* Avoid uploading content that violates Intellectual Property Guidelines

***

### Review Outcomes

#### Permanently Rejected

This means your project was created using the wrong project type, or violates platform requirements.\
Please click **Read Report** on the Getting Started page for specific feedback and next steps.

#### Temporarily Rejected

Rejection may occur due to issues like:

* Package misconfiguration
* Unapproved or incomplete content

Review the **Read Report** for actionable feedback. You can fix issues and **resubmit**. A short cooldown timer may apply before resubmission.

#### Approved

Your project has been approved — you may now:

* Accept live payments
* Publish your project for public access
* Begin monetizing your community
