# Digistore24 — Owner Upload Guide (30-day probe, 5 offers) **Plain-language steps.** The team has prepared everything except the account: an offer kit per product (offer title, sales copy, bullets, price + commission, cover, and the delivery file) is ready in `digistore24-listing-kits//` — you do the account, the offer creation, and the upload. **Verified facts about Digistore24 (from their own site, Sep 20):** transaction fee **2.9% + $1.00 per sale, all-inclusive** (payment processing, affiliate payouts, global tax/VAT handling, fraud & chargeback management) — **no monthly fee, no setup fee**; you set the affiliate commission; digital downloads are a supported vertical. Fits our catalog as a zero-cost probe: Stripe stays the primary checkout; this is extra distribution + an affiliate marketplace, not a replacement. > ⚠️ We have NOT seen the Digistore24 vendor dashboard. Where the exact form field names or screen > labels matter, they're marked **"CONFIRM IN THE ACTUAL FORM"** — read the screen and match the intent, > don't guess from this sheet. --- ## The 5 probe offers (all prepared) | # | Offer (title on the storefront) | Price | Commission | Kit folder | |---|---------------------------------|-------|-----------|------------| | 1 | NCLEX-RN Medical Terminology & Concepts Study Guide + 60-Card Flashcard Deck | $19.00 | 30% | nclex-rn-study-guide/ | | 2 | TEAS 7 Study Guide: 200+ Concepts Across All 4 Sections + Flashcard Deck | $19.00 | 30% | teas-7-study-guide/ | | 3 | SAT Study Guide: 185+ High-Yield Terms & Concepts for the Digital SAT | $19.00 | 30% | sat-study-guide/ | | 4 | CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) Study Guide: 250+ High-Yield Concepts + Flashcards | $29.00 | 30% | comptia-security-plus-study-guide/ | | 5 | PMP Certification Study Guide: 200+ High-Yield Concepts for the PMP Exam | $39.00 | 30% | pmp-certification-study-guide/ | Each kit contains: `OFFER.md` (title, sales copy, bullets, price/commission, delivery notes), `cover.jpg` (listing image), `delivery-file.zip` (the exact file buyers download). --- ## Step 1 — Create the vendor account (owner-side, one-time, ~30–45 min) 1. Go to **digistore24.com** and sign up as a **vendor** (the signup path for sellers; look for "become a vendor" / "sell your products" — **CONFIRM IN THE ACTUAL FORM**). 2. Enter your real details — legal **name**, **address**, and **email** (Daniel Vance, same identity as Amazon/KDP for consistency). 3. Complete the **tax** and **banking** fields Digistore24 asks for (payout account; this must be in your name, exactly as on the other marketplaces — this is the part only you can do). 4. Finish the account activation steps they show (email confirmation etc. — **CONFIRM IN THE ACTUAL FORM**). 5. If any payout or approval detail is unclear (their vendor minimums/timeline aren't public before signup — honest caveat from our research), keep a note of it — it does NOT block listing today. ## Step 2 — Create the first offer (repeat for each of the 5) Start with **one product** (NCLEX-RN) to learn the flow, then do the rest. 1. In the vendor area, choose **Create new offer / Add product** (**CONFIRM IN THE ACTUAL FORM**). 2. **Offer title:** copy the title from the kit's `OFFER.md` (all are ≤80 characters). 3. **Sales copy:** paste the "Sales copy" section from `OFFER.md` into the product description field (add the same paragraph(s) verbatim; the bullets can go in a bullet list field if one exists — **CONFIRM IN THE ACTUAL FORM**). 4. **Product image:** upload `cover.jpg` from the kit. 5. **Price:** enter the price from the table (existing site price — we are NOT discounting). 6. **Commission:** set **30%** (the affiliate commission field — **CONFIRM IN THE ACTUAL FORM**). Marketplace rate for digital info-products is commonly 30–60%; 30% is a reasonable starting point and matches our plan. 7. **File upload / delivery:** upload `delivery-file.zip` as the digital download. Choose **instant download after purchase** if offered (**CONFIRM IN THE ACTUAL FORM** — directly downloadable file, no physical shipment). 8. Save, then submit the offer for review/activation (**CONFIRM IN THE ACTUAL FORM** — review and turnaround time isn't public; assume 24–72h). 9. Repeat for the other 4 kits. Keep the same pattern: title/copy from `OFFER.md`, cover.jpg, delivery-file.zip, site price, 30% commission. ## Step 3 — Verify each offer is live - The vendor dashboard should list each offer as active (**CONFIRM IN THE ACTUAL FORM** — actual status wording may differ). - Open the storefront/marketplace link for one offer (or a private-browser checkout test) and confirm: title, image, price, and the downloadable file all look right. - Ask the team for a quick proofread of the live listing if anything renders oddly. ## Step 4 — 30-day review checkpoint (calendar it) - **Day 30 (≈ Oct 21):** open the dashboard and check **sales volume, which offers sold, affiliate vs direct sales, and total fees paid**. - Success looks like: any real affiliate-driven sales (evidence the marketplace works for us) OR meaningful direct-store search/checkout traffic. - **Failure mode (expected, per our fit assessment):** few or zero sales — these $19–39 one-time products are exactly what affiliates tend to ignore, so a quiet month is the likely outcome, NOT a sign of broken setup. That outcome still teaches us something and costs ~$0. - **Keep or drop decision:** if at least one offer shows affiliate pickup or steady direct sales, keep the storefront and consider adding more titles. If zero traction, close/archive the offers (there's no monthly fee, so leaving them live is also fine) and report to the team — nothing lost. - Stripe stays the primary checkout the entire time; this probe never replaces it. ## Step 5 — Housekeeping notes - **Payouts:** vendor payout schedule/minimums are not public pre-signup — check what the dashboard says at account creation (from our research: affiliates are paid weekly; vendors confirm their own terms in the account). - **Honesty guardrails (apply to every listing):** no fabricated ratings, reviews, or social proof; no pass-rate or success guarantees; no "official/endorsed by [exam body]" claims. The sales copy already complies — don't edit it to add hype. - **Updates:** to update a product, upload a new file on the offer and re-submit; to change price, edit the price field directly. - **Affiliate link:** once offers are live, Digistore24 gives you an affiliate link per offer — the team will use that for any future affiliate-referral funnels (same pattern as Amazon Associates tag). --- ## Kit index (all under /home/team/shared/digistore24-listing-kits/) `nclex-rn-study-guide/` · `teas-7-study-guide/` · `sat-study-guide/` · `comptia-security-plus-study-guide/` · `pmp-certification-study-guide/` Each: OFFER.md + cover.jpg + delivery-file.zip.
