Creators & Independent Work ⚡ Supported by aipp architecture

Sell a Digital Product

Sell downloadable guides, templates, code packages, and AI prompt packs without building an e-commerce storefront.

Target Audience: Digital creators, template authors, designers, technical writers, and AI prompt engineers.

The Real Problem

Creators selling digital products (PDF guides, Notion templates, code packages, design assets, AI prompt packs) encounter high fixed fees and complex store setup overhead when selling single digital assets.

Real-World Example: For example, a creator selling a Notion template or AI prompt library for $2.00 can share an aipp Smart Tag link that unlocks the asset upon payment settlement.

How aipp Solves It

Generate an aipp Smart Tag URL pointing to your deliverable download link. Share the URL on social media, blogs, or newsletters. Buyers pay with Lightning or USDC and immediately unlock the product.

Step-by-Step Payment Flow

STEP 01 Click Product Link Buyer clicks your aipp Smart Tag link.

STEP 02 Pay Checkout Buyer scans Lightning QR code or pays with Base USDC.

STEP 03 Settlement Verified aipp verifies payment proof.

STEP 04 Product Unlocked Browser automatically redirects to the target download URL.

Scope & Boundaries

What aipp Does

✓ Provides pay-to-unlock link gating for digital products

What aipp Does Not Do

Implementation Pattern

Below is the minimal implementation pattern using standard aipp endpoints / SDK:

// Create a Digital Product Smart Tag via cURL
curl -X POST https://aipp.dev/merchant/links/create   -H "X-Api-Key: aipp_merch_your_key_here"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{
    "title": "AI Prompt Engineering Pack & Templates",
    "amount_usd": 2.00,
    "redirect_url": "https://notion.so/my-template-duplicate-link",
    "capability_type": "link"
  }'

Settlement Architecture Note:
• Lightning Rail: In hosted Lightning flows, payments route through aipp's Lightning gateway before net proceeds are automatically forwarded to your configured wallet address.
• Base USDC Rail: USDC transfers settle directly on-chain to your designated EVM wallet address.
• No Merchant Spending Balance: aipp does not maintain a spendable merchant balance or require manual withdrawal steps.

Requirements & Limitations

External file hosting is required for deliverable asset hosting
Does not provide shopping carts, multi-item checkout, or automated tax calculation
