The direct-to-fan marketplace expands its creator platform with a major mobile app overhaul and new support for physical goods, including print, vinyl, merchandise, special editions, and bundles.
AUSTIN, Texas, June 13, 2026 /PRNewswire-±¬ÁϹ«Éçapp/ -- Curios, the direct-to-fan entertainment and content marketplace where creators earn moreâ„¢, announced today that it has surpassed 250,000 total transactions, a major milestone reflecting growing creator adoption, deeper fan engagement, and increasing demand for a better way to sell directly to audiences.
The milestone comes as Curios continues to expand its product breadth across digital content, mobile consumption, and physical goods. More creators are using Curios to publish, promote, sell, and distribute their work directly to fans while keeping 100% of the royalties on every sale, retaining ownership of their work, and building direct customer relationships.
"Creators need more than another storefront," said Grant Powell, CEO of Curios. "They need a platform that helps them earn more, own their customer relationships, and sell across every format without having to build the operational infrastructure themselves. Passing 250,000 transactions is a strong signal that direct-to-fan commerce is becoming a practical, scalable path for creators."
A Major Mobile App Overhaul for Fan Consumption
Curios has launched a major overhaul of its mobile app, making it easier for fans to access and enjoy the content they purchase through the Curios Marketplace. The updated app delivers a smoother experience across ebooks, audiobooks, music, shows, and films, giving creators a stronger end-to-end distribution layer for digital content.
With instant access through the Curios mobile app, fans can stream audio for audiobooks and music, read ebooks, and watch video content including shows and films. For creators, the improved mobile experience strengthens the connection between purchase and consumption, helping them deliver a more complete fan experience after every sale.
Physical Goods Now Available Alongside Digital Content
Curios now supports creators selling physical goods alongside digital content, including printed books, vinyl, merchandise, special editions, bundles, and more. Creators can self-fulfill physical orders using Curios shipping tools or use print-on-demand fulfillment through Curios' integrated partners - new partners are being added soon.
This expansion allows creators to sell more complete offerings in one place, from a signed print edition bundled with an ebook to a vinyl release paired with streaming audio. It also gives creators more flexibility to design premium fan experiences without managing multiple disconnected commerce, delivery, and fulfillment systems.
"Making Curios the easiest way for creators to sell directly to fans across every format they produce is our north star," Powell added. "That means digital, physical, bundled, limited, serialized, streamed, shipped, and everything in between. These updates bring us closer to a marketplace where creators can build real businesses around their work while keeping 100% of every sale."
