How to protect your Redbubble account while you are alive

There is no way to name a beneficiary or successor on a Redbubble account. Redbubble allows no transfer of the account while the holder is alive.

Redbubble decides requests about a Redbubble account after a death case by case, so nothing in its terms promises a survivor anything; what the account holder sets up in advance is what holds. There is no way to name a beneficiary or successor on a Redbubble account. Redbubble allows no transfer of the account while the holder is alive.

How to protect your Redbubble accounts

1
Keep every design file backed up outside Redbubble, at full resolution and in its editable original form. Closure removes the works from the marketplace, so the backup is what keeps the designs available to your heirs.
2
Say in your estate documents who is to receive the copyrights in your designs. The User Agreement leaves the intellectual property with you and takes only a non-exclusive licence.
3
Keep a list of which designs are tied to a Partner Program licensor, since those carry the licensor's own terms on use and on transfer of your interest in the design.
4
Keep the payment details on the account current and pointing somewhere an executor can reach. A balance that cannot be paid out is charged $3 / GBP3 / EUR3 a month once it sits at $10 / GBP10 / EUR10 or more.
5
Note that the account exists, and which email address it uses, where your executor will find it. Redbubble identifies the account from the username, the account name, the account email and the physical address on file.
6
Record what the shop earns: a monthly figure, the shop URL and the account tier, so an executor can judge whether the income is worth reviving on a new account and can value the design library.
7
Sell through more than one print-on-demand platform if the shop is a meaningful income source, so the closure of a single account does not end every royalty stream at once.

Naming who acts after a death

Designation

There is no way to name who takes over a Redbubble account: only a single natural person may own an account, and the deceased-artist path closes the account rather than reassigning it.1, 2

What Redbubble Inc (Articore Group Limited)'s terms say about sharing and transfers4

Transferring the account or registration

Redbubble accounts are not transferable: only a single natural person may be the owner of an account, and an email address can be associated with only one account.1

Family plans and household sharing

Redbubble accounts are not shareable, and there is no family sharing feature.1

Authorized users and delegates

There is no delegate access or multi-user feature on a Redbubble account.1

Fees

Neither the platform fee nor the excess markup fee is ever charged out of pocket: both apply only when a sale is made and reduce the final balance the same way they reduce any other monthly payment.3, 4

Should you save your passwords for your family?

Some people store account passwords so a family member can sign in later. The practice has three practical limits:

  • Two-factor authentication often blocks it. Most accounts require a second factor — a code sent to a phone, an authenticator app, a passkey, or a physical key. A saved password alone frequently does not grant access, and the recovery codes that would are easy to lose or let go stale.
  • It usually conflicts with the platform's terms. Most operators prohibit account sharing and signing in as another person, including after a death. Stored credentials are not the operator's recognized access path, and using them can violate the terms of service.
  • Operators provide other paths. Where an operator offers a designation tool — Apple's Legacy Contact, Google's Inactive Account Manager, a beneficiary designation — that mechanism grants access the operator recognizes. A password manager's own emergency-access or legacy feature passes credentials through a controlled process. Digital assets named in a will or trust give a fiduciary authority under each state's Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA).
