Questions, answered
Is listing really free?
Yes. Your store page, releases and destinations are free to list. Every listing is reviewed before it appears on Noir Grid.
How do I get listed?
Create an account with your Second Life avatar, apply as a creator, and add your store once you are approved.
I run an event or a sales event. How do I get it listed?
Use List your event free (top of every page). Standard event coverage is free, you don’t need a store listing, and each application is reviewed before it is published. Paid homepage ads (Featured, Boosted, banners, ticker, widget and sidebar) are booked separately on the Book an ad page, with the price worked out as you choose.
What does Smart Vendor cost?
A one-time license plus a 2% commission on the sales your Vendors make. There is no monthly fee.
How is the 2% commission billed?
Commission is added up over each billing cycle and billed as one statement, instead of being taken from every sale.
What is a Beacon?
An in-world object you put in your store. It counts how many people are inside (numbers only) and, while people are there, shows your store on the Noir Grid Live Grid. It is paid per beacon every 30 days; see Creator Tools.
How do I pay?
In Linden Dollars at an official Noir Grid Payment Kiosk in Second Life — never by card.
Do I need Smart Vendor to be listed?
No. Listing your store is free whether or not you use Smart Vendor.
