Setting Up Your Public Creator Profile

Having a complete Creator profile is essential for attracting brands. Profiles with a photo, bio, website, and email address are more likely to secure partnerships.

To set up your Creator profile:

1. Go to “Settings” and click on the “Team” tab.
2. Update the following details:
   • Profile Image: Hover over your profile picture and click to upload a new image.
   • Public Details: Click “Update Team Profile” to edit your Company Name, Bio, Promotion Regions, Website, and Email Address.
3. Make sure your Creator Profile clearly outlines what you do so brands can easily learn more about your content and promotional efforts. You can edit this by going to "Settings" and clicking the "Team" tab. Then, click "Update Company Profile." 

Adding Team Members and Managing Permissions

It's imperative you add any additional team members to your profile directly from your existing dashboard. If they navigate through the sign-up flow, an entirely new account will be created with no access to your existing account and data. 

Invite New Team Members

1. Navigate to “Settings” and click the “Team” tab.
2. Scroll to the “Team Invites” section.
3. Select “Invite New Member,” enter their email address, and click “Invite.”

The invited member will receive an email with a link to set up their Levanta account.

User Types and Permissions

Levanta offers two user types:

• Admin: Full access, including Payments, adding team members, and assigning permissions.
• Member: Limited access; cannot manage Payments, team members, or permissions.

By default, new members are assigned the “Member” role.

To change a team member’s role:

1. Go to “Settings” and navigate to the “Team Members” section.
2. Click the pencil icon next to the member’s name.
3. Select the new role from the dropdown menu and click “Save.”

Customizing Notifications

It is important to stay updated about activity across your account and partnerships. You have the option to customize your notifications based on your preferences on the platform.

1. Go to “Settings” then “Notifications.”
2. Adjust each notification type to the preferred setting: Off, In-App, Email

Setting Up Payments

Getting Paid – Setting Up Stripe

Levanta partners with Stripe to make payments seamless and automatic. To set up your payment account:

1. Navigate to the “Payments” tab in the menu and click “Set Up Payments.”
2. You will be redirected to the Levanta-linked Stripe portal. Follow these steps:
   • Create a Stripe account. Levanta uses a bespoke version of Stripe so you’ll need to set up your account even if you work with Stripe elsewhere.
   • Provide a valid phone number.
   • Enter your bank account or debit card information.
   • Submit your tax/identification number (such as EIN or SSN).
3. After completing the setup, you’ll be redirected to Levanta.

You’re now ready to start receiving monthly payments from your promotional efforts!

Get Familiar with Our Guidelines

Maintaining professionalism and ethical standards is key to success on Levanta. All creators are expected to adhere to these core guidelines:

1. Promote Products Ethically and Accurately
   • Ensure all promotional content is honest and transparent. Misleading claims or exaggerated promises are strictly prohibited.
   • Respect intellectual property rights and always represent brands truthfully.
   • No product purchase is necessary. If you want to receive products, you can communicate with the brands directly via the Levanta messaging console. It's still the brand's choice if they can/will send the product because it is not an expectation/requirement for brands to do this.
2. Comply with Platform Rules and Policies
   • Follow all terms of service, community guidelines, and policies outlined by Levanta.
   • Stay updated on any changes to policies to ensure ongoing compliance.
3. Deliver High-Quality Content
   • Create engaging, polished content that aligns with your audience’s interests and the brands’ values.
   • Tailor your approach for each campaign to maintain authenticity and credibility.

By following these guidelines, you’ll not only build successful partnerships but also establish trust and long-term relationships with brands and your audience.
