When you sell an item via the Template Sell marketplace, the total purchase price
is made up of what you get from the sales plus the Template Sell service fee.
We’ve categorized all of the items primarily into two categories: Exclusive and
Non-Exclusive items. It defines the amount/percentage of commission the author
will receive from sales of their items.
1. Exclusive Items
An exclusive item is that specific item you sell ONLY on Template Sell market. It
cannot be sold anywhere else. Our author sales commission for exclusive items is
70% of the item price. Commission for Exclusive items is based on
the number of sales for each item. The more your products sold, the more
commission you get, even 80% of the final price if an item is sold more than
5000 times.
2. Non-Exclusive Items
You can sell your Non-Exclusive items on multiple marketplaces besides Template
Sell. Our author sales commission for non-exclusive items is 40% of the item
price.
- What does the customer expect from an author?
-
A customer spends money to purchase your item(s). They buy it with a hope in mind
that they will be able to utilize the stuff and build awesome web properties.
They have some expectations to the authors. An author should always keep it in
mind and honor their clients. The customer expects some basic things from you,
(the author).
Accurate Item Description
Be honest with the item description. Tell the audience actually what it is. What
it can do and where they can use it. Customers read through an item details
before making a purchase. If you don't provide the accurate information, they
would be misguided.
Go In Details
Describe the item as much as seems to be reasonable. A potential buyer should get
a clear idea about an item from its description. Remember, if you sell an item
with obscure information, it may cause confusion and eventually lead to a refund
request.
Mention Known Issues
Mention known shortcomings where applicable. Suppose, if your particular theme
faces an issue with a specific plugin or a relevant technology, tell it in the
item description. It will help users have a better experience.
- How to write the changelog for theme updates?
-
Changelogs are very important to inform the visitors/potential customers about
the latest improvements in your theme. While updating an item, you should write
the theme changelogs in the ‘Changelog’ field.
So, under the hood, here we've used several classes to display changelog labels
like 'New', 'Update' and 'Bug fix'. This will present your updated theme with
more details on what's new about the item.
- What links or texts can I put in the item description, demo and
downloadable package?
-
