Licensing is what protects your work and sets buyer expectations. You don’t need a 10-page legal document—just clear terms that match how customers will use your product.

Common license types for digital products

  • Personal use: buyers can use it for themselves (not for clients or resale).
  • Commercial use: buyers can use it in client work or business outputs.
  • Extended/commercial resale: higher-priced licenses that allow broader use.

What to clarify (so support stays low)

  • Can buyers edit and customize the files?
  • Can they use it for clients?
  • Can they resell or redistribute the files? (usually “no”)
  • Is attribution required?

Where to place license info

  • On the product page
  • In a short “License” section near the bottom
  • Inside the download as a readme file
