Sell code & scripts with the license attached

Source code, WordPress themes, SaaS boilerplates, or CLI tools — sell directly to developers with instant delivery and a clear license (MIT, personal-use, regular, or extended) shown before they buy.

Which license should you attach?

Buyers hesitate when licensing is unclear. Pick one before you list, show it on the product page, and skip the pre-sale questions.

MIT / Open Source

Buyer can use, modify, and redistribute freely, including in commercial products. Best for component libraries and utilities where adoption matters more than per-sale revenue.

Personal Use Only

Buyer can use the code for their own non-commercial projects but can't resell it or ship it in something they charge for. Common for learning resources.

Regular Commercial License

Buyer can use the code in one commercial end product they don't resell — their own SaaS, one client site. The standard license for most themes and boilerplates.

Extended / Resale License

Buyer can use the code in a product they resell to their own customers — an agency reselling a theme, a SaaS built on your boilerplate. Typically priced 5-10x the regular license.

From repo to revenue in three steps

Whether it's a single script or a full SaaS boilerplate, the payment side works the same way.

Everything you need to sell code with confidence

Clear licensing, flexible delivery, and defined support windows — built for how developers actually buy.

License Shown at Checkout

Attach MIT, personal-use, regular, or extended terms to the product page, so buyers know exactly what they're allowed to do before they pay.

Private Repo or ZIP Delivery

Deliver a straightforward ZIP download, or send a GitHub repo invite once payment clears — your call, per product.

Version Update Delivery

Push a new ZIP under the same listing and every past buyer can pull the latest version from their original purchase link.

Support Window, Not Obligation

Set how many months of updates and support are included (e.g. 6 months), so buyers know upfront when a renewal is expected.

Whether you're a solo developer or a small team — sell your code directly and set the license yourself.

"The question I got most before PayRequest was 'can I use this for a client project I'm billing for?' Now the license is right there on the product page — Regular for one project, Extended if you're reselling — so people self-select before they even message me."

Frequently asked questions

What license should I attach to my code — MIT, commercial, or personal-use-only?+
Use MIT (or another open-source license) for maximum adoption if you don't mind buyers reselling or embedding it freely. Use a regular commercial license for one paying project per purchase, and reserve personal-use-only for learning resources you don't want resold.
What's the difference between a regular and an extended license, like on CodeCanyon?+
A regular license covers one end product the buyer doesn't resell — their own site or app. An extended (resale) license lets the buyer use the code in a product they sell to their own customers, such as an agency reselling a theme. Extended licenses are typically priced 5-10x higher.
Do I need to include support or updates with a code purchase?+
It's expected but not universal. Most sellers include a fixed window — 6 months of updates and email support is common — and charge for a renewal after that. Set the window on the product page so buyers know upfront.
Can I deliver a private GitHub repo instead of a ZIP file?+
Yes — some sellers send a repo invite once payment clears instead of a static download, which makes ongoing updates easier since buyers can just pull the latest commits.
How do I stop buyers from reselling code I only licensed for personal or single-project use?+
Licensing is a legal agreement, not a technical lock. PayRequest shows your terms clearly at checkout so buyers agree to them, but enforcement — like a takedown request for resale beyond your license — is on you, the same as with any other code marketplace.
