From your finished work to the buyer's download

  1. 1

    Prepare the retail files

    Package your installation files, guide and usage terms in one ZIP. Check the current upload limit and test the exact archive.

  2. 2

    Publish a specific offer

    Create a digital product, connect a supported payment provider and describe the files, dependencies, price and support you offer.

  3. 3

    Check the buyer journey

    Review the product page, complete a buyer-view purchase and open the delivered files before promoting your link.

Delivery you can explain before the sale

One product, one delivery file

Use a ZIP to deliver several files together, including the guide and terms. Keep a separate release archive for your own support records.

Access after payment

Confirmed purchases receive a download link on the success page and in the order email. Download access follows the limits and expiry you configure.

A defined update policy

Replacing a product's file makes the current file available through existing valid tokens. It does not renew their limits or expiry. Explain your correction and support policy.

Set the right expectations for code and updates

PayRequest handles the product sale and file handoff. An in-app updater, activation server or software support service needs its own verified workflow. Download controls do not prevent a recipient from copying received files.

Blender's official FAQ says add-ons using its API can be sold under the GNU GPL, with the required sources and freedoms. Review the license of your code and any bundled assets before defining usage terms.

Questions before you publish

Can I sell a Blender add-on on PayRequest Free?

Yes. Digital products are available on Free with a 2% standard payment fee, capped at €25 per transaction. Provider fees and commission exceptions are separate. A digital download does not by itself require a paid plan.

What should I upload?

Upload a delivery ZIP containing your tested installable package, a start guide and the applicable license. Tell buyers which file inside the archive to install, rather than asking them to install the outer delivery ZIP.

Does file delivery include a license server or automatic updater?

Do not assume that it does. This offer covers a product page, payment and downloadable files. Verify any separate activation, in-app updating or notification workflow before promising it to customers.

How do existing buyers receive a replacement file?

Existing valid download tokens use the current file for the product. Replacing it does not reset their download allowance or expiry. Keep release notes and explain how a buyer should request support if access has expired.

Give your next release a direct sales page

Upload the reviewed package, explain the offer and share a product link with your own audience. A paid plan is optional for digital downloads.
