How it sells itself

Sell and manage digital products, whether it's eBooks, music, videos, software, PDFs, or license keys. With automated file delivery and simple order tracking, you can focus on growing your business while we handle the rest.

Most download apps sell a file once. MakerVault sells access: recurring license subscriptions that pay you every month. Create tiers like Personal and Commercial, each with its own price, download limits, and license terms. Subscribers browse and download from a branded library in your store, within their plan limits. Access revokes automatically on cancellation, failed payment, or refund.

Key points
  • Effortless Management – Easily upload, organize, and attach files or license key
  • Instant Delivery: Automatically send files via email and the Thank You page
  • License Key Automation – Generate, store, and distribute unique keys seamlessly
  • Order Tracking: Monitor downloads, resend files, and manage customer access
  • Tiered licensing with personal and commercial access controls
  • Customer portal where customers browse, download, and manage their files
  • Revenue dashboard tracking customers, downloads, and license applications
