Starting December 19th, pixiv is offering a new service called BOOTH which is a new way to sell your creations.
Since we’re launching the service soon, we’re letting pixiv users preregister to reserve their space on BOOTH before we’ll allow normal registrations.

【What is BOOTH?】
BOOTH is a new way to sell your creations with pixiv. Even if you don’t know how to make a website, anyone can easily create their own free online store with BOOTH. BOOTH even does the payment, merchandise storing, and shipping for you, making it less annoying for you. Product search and BOOTH following functions allows you to promote your work on pixiv.
