Is a Membership Required to Distribute Through LibDib?

Yes. Every Maker must hold an active LibDib Membership for their products to be distributed through LibDib. One Membership covers every market LibDib serves, including new markets that launch after you join, so you never need a separate Membership per state.

Why is a Membership required?

LibDib is a licensed wholesale distributor operating within the three-tier system. Your Membership is what keeps your account active in that distribution network, so LibDib can purchase, invoice and deliver your products to licensed Buyers.

An active Membership gives you:

Distribution through LibDib in every market where your products are approved and compliant
Visibility to LibDib's network of licensed retailers, restaurants and bars
Access to LibDib's platform tools for managing offerings, pricing and orders
Support from the LibDib Team, with added services on Silver and Gold

Without an active Membership, your offerings are not available for distribution through LibDib.

One Membership covers every LibDib market

You only need one Membership, no matter how many markets you distribute in. Your Membership applies to all available LibDib markets, not to a single state.

New markets are included automatically. When LibDib launches distribution in a new market after you join, your existing Membership already covers it. There is no new Membership to purchase and no change to your Membership fee.

To begin distribution in any market, including a newly launched one, you will still need to:

Select the market in your LibDib account and agree to its Market Agreement
Complete any state product registrations, licenses or permits that market requires
Set up and price your offerings for that market

Each market's Go Live Guide walks through these requirements. See the Maker Onboarding Guide for the full setup steps.

Membership is also based on your company, not your number of accounts. If your business needs more than one LibDib account, you pay one Membership fee. See Do I Need Multiple Memberships If I Have More Than One LibDib Account?

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a separate Membership for each state? No. One Membership covers every available LibDib market.

LibDib just opened a new market. Do I need to upgrade or pay more? No. New markets are included in your current Membership at no additional Membership cost. You only need to complete that market's setup and compliance requirements.

Can I distribute through LibDib without a Membership? No. An active Membership is required for all Makers distributing through LibDib.

What happens if my Membership lapses? Your offerings will not be available for distribution through LibDib until your Membership is reactivated.

I was a LibDib+ member. What now? LibDib+ was retired on August 1, 2026. You will need to choose a new membership to continue being distributed by LibDib.

How do I sign up or change my Membership? Log into your LibDib account, go to your name on the top right, choose Profile from the menu, then on the left hand side of the screen, choose Account Status. Choose your Membership and you will be directed to our payment platform Stripe. Not sure which fits? Contact the LibDib Team or chat with Libby.
