Store Listing Guidelines

To help promote an enjoyable experience, you must adhere to the following guidelines when listing items on the Sansar Store (the “Store” for short). These guidelines aim to help you list items effectively so that buyers can quickly and easily find what they're looking for.

For more information on how to list and edit an item on the store, please see Selling items in the store. See Store Banner Guidelines for information on branding banners.

General Item Guidelines

All items listed in the Store must adhere to the Content Guidelines.
Items must not contain any references to Sansar, Sansar inc. or Sansar-related terminology that may imply a false relationship with or sponsorship, endorsement, or employment by Sansar.

The following requirements apply to all text associated with item listings:

Only alphanumeric and basic punctuation characters, such as commas, periods, slashes, colons, dashes, underscores, and quotation marks are allowed. Sansar does not support international characters at this time.
Senseless or excessively repetitive use of characters, in Sansar’s sole discretion, is prohibited.
Avoid replacing letters with special characters or numbers (e.g., replacing “A” with “@” or “I” with “1”). You will want to make it easy for your item to appear in search results.
There should be no leading, trailing, or creeping white spaces.
Control characters and line feeds are not allowed.

Listing Guidelines

Additional Notes

Accessories

For more information on uploading and listing accessories, see Avatar attachments (accessories).

Audio

We strongly recommend that you include a detailed description of your audio listings and include information such as track length and mono/stereo/ambisonic type.

Avatars

For more information on uploading and listing accessories, see Importing custom avatars.

Objects

Set your 3D suite’s units to meters or feet, and model your assets to a real life scale. This is important because Sansar only allows limited scaling for scenes at this time.
We strongly encourage you to add a collision mesh to your objects. This will enable buyers to make your objects dynamic in their scenes.
If you are uploading architecture-type items, it is best to add an avatar in one of the additional images to provide size reference.

Script

Scripts should not use any Restricted APIs. For more information on Sansar’s APIs and restrictions, see our documentation on Sansar Script APIs and Restricted APIs .

Exhibiting any of the following prohibited behavior could result in the removal of your item in the store and/or account access restrictions, up to and including account termination.
