Sell a digital product

A digital product is any file you own the rights to: PDFs, ZIPs, presets and LUTs, beat packs, Canva or Notion templates, e-books, wallpapers, study notes and so on.

#Create the product

1. Open Digital Products and choose + Create new MintLink, or use + Create MintLink at the top of your dashboard.
2. Upload your file. The form shows the size limit (currently up to 200 MB).
3. Give it a title 1 and a short description 2 that says exactly what the buyer gets.
4. Pick a category and file type, then add a product photo. The photo is required: it's the main image on your listing and checkout page.
5. Set a price. The minimum is ₹5, and the form shows what you'll earn after fees as you type.
6. Publish. Your product gets its own link at mintlink.in/m/<slug>.

As you fill the form, 4 the fan-side preview shows exactly what your buyers will see at checkout.

#Download mode or preview mode

• Download mode: the buyer gets a download link after paying. This is the default.
• Preview mode: the buyer views the file online and can't download it. Useful when you'd rather the file didn't get passed around.

#Protecting your file

Every purchase gets its own download link. The link is valid for 24 hours and allows 5 downloads. If a buyer needs more after that, they can request access again from the download page, and you or our team can re-issue the link.

For PDFs, switch on 3 Enable Buyer Watermark. It faintly stamps every page of each copy with the buyer's name, email and order ID, so a leaked copy can be traced back. It's barely visible and doesn't affect readability.

#Advanced options

Switch on Enable advanced options in the form for more selling tools:

• Original showcase price: shows a struck-through "was" price next to your real price.
• Scheduled discount: a discount that runs between a start and an end date, with an optional countdown timer.
• Sales badge, feature highlights and a product video (a YouTube link).
• Usage licence: tell buyers what they may and may not do with the file.

#Personal message for buyers

Under Advanced Options, the Personal message for buyers box lets you leave a note for everyone who buys the product. It works even when Enable advanced options is off.

Use it for:

• A thank-you note
• Your Instagram, so buyers can follow you
• A Telegram channel or WhatsApp group link for updates, bonus files or a community

Only people who have paid see it. It appears in their order confirmation email and on their download page, and never on your public product page, so it's a safe place for a private group link. Links you paste become clickable automatically. The limit is 1,000 characters.

You can change the message any time. Every sale from then on shows the new version, but buyers who already have their email keep the old one.

#After a sale

The buyer gets an email with their download link and receipt, and the sale shows up in your Money history. The email and the download page both show your name and your account email address under Contact the creator, so buyers can reach you with questions about the product, along with your personal message if you've written one. Your share is paid out on the next eligible Friday. See Payouts.
