Kahoot!’s marketplace allows Verified creators and publishers to share and offer their high-quality learning content for sale, directly on the Kahoot! platforms and apps. All users except young users can purchase content offered for sale on the marketplace. All users can access the free content. 

A Verified creator is a user that has gone through an approval process with Kahoot!, where the quality and accuracy of their content has been evaluated. A Verified creator gets access to a Verified creator profile, and a “Verified” check mark that is visible across kahoot’s platform and apps next to their username. 

On the Verified profile, creators can display both their free and paid resources. They also get access to a community space on their profile where they can share updates with their own followers. The Verified profile also displays the Verified creator’s engagement numbers, a “follow” button, for any user to follow them and get notified when they add new content or post updates, and access to receive donations through a “Donate” button.  

All users (except young users) can apply to become a Verified creator  by logging into their kahoot account and following the link “Go to application” from their homepage (accessible from the top navigation by clicking “Home”) and submitting their application. To become Verified, a user must follow our Terms & Conditions and Community Guidelines. The Verification application can be approved or rejected. When approved, the user becomes a Verified creator.

As a Verified creator, you can upload your resources for sale directly from your profile page by following a few simple steps, including setting the sales price for the resource.

A Kahoot! course is a set of lessons or educational activities, including kahoots, that are integrated into a larger learning trajectory. A Kahoot! course is a resource that consists of various activities, such as kahoots, documents, slides, videos and more, that promotes deeper learning and engagement and works towards a specific learning goal. A course may contain one or more kahoots within it. Kahoot! courses are the flagship product on Kahoot!’s marketplace.
