What counts as a digital asset?

A digital asset is any reusable creative or technical file sold repeatedly at no extra production cost per sale — 3D models, UI kits, code snippets, fonts, presets, templates, graphics, and game assets are all digital assets. This differs from one-off digital downloads like a single ebook in that asset creators typically sell the same file to many buyers with a license attached.

How much do Envato and Creative Market take from a sale?

Envato Market authors typically keep 12.5-70% depending on exclusivity and buyer type, meaning a commission of 30-87.5% in many cases. Creative Market takes a 30-40% commission on most sales. Both scale against high-volume sellers rather than charging a flat rate.

Can I sell multiple types of digital assets from one link?

Yes. A payment-link tool lets you list templates, code, 3D models, and graphics as separate products from the same storefront, each with its own price and license terms — no need for a separate account per asset category.

Do I need to disclose licensing terms for digital assets?

Yes — licensing is the most common source of disputes in digital asset sales. State personal-use, commercial, and extended (resale-within-another-product) licensing directly on the product page before checkout.
