Sell a PDF as a digital product. Buyers receive private access after successful payment and can choose to read in their browser or download the original file.

Prepare and publish

  1. Open Products → New Product and select Digital.
  2. Choose E-book / PDF and the PDF format, then upload the finished file.
  3. Enter the name, description, price, currency and applicable tax.
  4. Review the download allowance and link expiry. These also apply to browser reading.
  5. Save the product and make it visible when you are ready to sell.

Check the cover

PayRequest can generate a public cover image from page one of a single PDF. Use a first page suitable for a public product listing. An existing manual cover or gallery is preserved. Generation happens in the background and supports PDFs up to 100 MB. An encrypted, corrupt or unsupported PDF may not generate a cover. The saved upload remains available; add your own cover if needed. Replacing the source file may require a new cover to finish processing.

What buyers see

After payment, Read edition is available on supported success, download and order screens. It opens the original PDF in the browser’s PDF reader. Buyers can also choose Download. Each explicit reading action uses one remaining download allowance. The link must still be valid and the purchase must retain paid access. Refunds, reversed payments or exhausted access can block reading. Opening the landing page alone does not consume an allowance. Browser controls depend on the buyer’s device. If inline reading is unavailable, use Download and open the file in a PDF app. EPUB files and ZIP bundles use ordinary download delivery.
The public cover is an image, not a public link to the full PDF. Authorized buyers can save their purchased file; this feature does not provide DRM.
