[@KateHayes]

What part of the process of selling digital products online is the most confusing to you? Comment below and let’s talk through it! 👇🏼👇🏼

[@EricaLucasLoves]

What is legal to use on Canva to create and to sell as a Canva Pro user…

[@KateHayes]

@@EricaLucasLovesThat can definitely be intimidating! Canva has two different licenses- one for free content and one for pro content. So it doesn’t depend on which plan you have but what types of content you use in your designs to sell. You can read both to see what each allows on their website! (*BTW disclaimer- I’m not a legal professional so this isn’t meant to be legal advice… just my understanding of it 😉)

[@loritastoimenova9999]

I have a couple questions: 1. You create your digital product (link) 2. Then you have to create a PDF (Letter) to incorporate the link and introduce the product to the client - Can you use a template for this step? 3. And when you go to sell it on Etsy, again you have to create another file, or just a mock-up? If you could please clarify :)

[@KateHayes]

@@loritastoimenova9999 for the PDF deliverable, I would create your own instead of using a template since it technically is being used for commercial purposes. Then when you get ready to list it on Etsy, all you’ll need to actually *create* for this step are the mock-ups/images for your listing. The rest is just filling out the info when you click to add a new listing on Etsy. Hopefully that helps clarify!

This really helps thanks so much!

[@KateHayes]

You’re so welcome, friend!

[@raymakara]

Wow! Lots of great information and advice. Thanks Kate! One issue I see with this is that, I would think, the template itself should have a transparent background as well, so they can put it on any color of invitation paper they want. Otherwise, the background would always be white (or whatever color they may change it to). But, they would also have to have a Canva Pro account so they can save their copy of the template with a transparent background as well. Is that correct?

[@ShannonBrown-Made4u]

Very informative, awesome video.

[@KateHayes]

Thanks friend! Glad you found it helpful! :)

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another fantastic video from our friend Kate and I appreciate all your videos and the help you provide. Obviously based on Etsy there's a lot of people planning to get married. Even though I am not married myself it wouldn't stop me from making money from those who are planning to get married. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Kate & ❤️ Nick.

[@KateHayes]

Definitely!! Super smart to create products based on demand!

[@cresenceobrien7308]

Hi Kate, I have a question. What software did you use to blur out some of the background in the video that you dint want shown?

[@DOCSUNRAY]

Hi Kate, could you please go into further detail on what happens after a customer purchases the digital download. They buy, they edit and then is it our responsibility to include on a mockup card what type of file they need to download it in, what type of printer is best printing(inkjet or laser), to specify that an envelope is not provided?

[@KateHayes]

Great questions! The only thing they are purchasing from you is the template so it’s up to them what they do with it from there but it’s always helpful to be specific (in the listing description and images) what is included in the template, recommended options for printing their final file if needed, etc. The buyer will definitely appreciate more info than less!

[@mariaangelicacastro3718]

Hello Kate, just wondering if you can help me! I am making a bingo with images using canva. I know canva has a bingo generator but with words and numbers, not sure how to make my bingo with the images that I created, to distribute them ramdomly, do I have to do it manually? thanks

[@LakshyaBanerjee-xc4uh]

say if i want to make invites for kids with unicorns on them and don't like the element canva has, can I download an image and copy paste a better looking graphic? In that case, will people be able to use my canva template properly?

[@reemabbadi7139]

What if i wanted to insert a background photo from google and used the elements from canva, can i stell sell them after ?

[@MeaganGesler]

Thanks!

[@KateHayes]

Aww thank YOU friend! 🥰

[@user-dq7te1zg8d]

Great video. I just find your channel and I love it. I have a question I don't have the canva pro just the free version and when I send the pdf there is no link on the file do I need to have the pro version for the link to unlock ?

[@KateHayes]

Hey friend, no you should still be able to embed links. Be sure that you’re not clicking “flatten PDF” when you download

[@user-dq7te1zg8d]

@@KateHayes Thank you I had put my collaboration link to private I think that fix it .

[@sethasophanna7841]

Great video! The only thing I find difficult is to create these digital products with zero graphic design experience. It might be difficult to stand out as there are probably a lot of skilled sellers on etsy.

[@KateHayes]

I totally get that- it can be really intimidating. Definitely take a few minutes and watch my free masterclass (linked in description)- it addresses this!!

[@nannitac.1247]

Thank you for the content! It’s so helpful. I have a question. If I cancel Canva pro after the first month, will the customer who purchase after that be able to get the link and download the template?

[@KateHayes]

You can generate the template link even on the free account so as long as you at least have a free account, they’ll be able to access the template.

[@nannitac.1247]

@@KateHayes How about the resolution? If I don’t use Canva pro to create work. Will the customer be able to download the high resolution?

[@rhondagarrapy4569]

Great video! I have Canva Pro but I'm wondering if its worth it since you have to use the free version to sell products.

[@KateHayes]

You can definitely use pro elements for other types of products (like final instant download files), just better not to on templates. You also get several features and tools with Canva Pro that you don’t get on the free plan which is why I love it!

[@jcgarden123.]

I been looking for side gig since I love editing I fortunately landed here, I want to give this a try. I am just confuse about the etsy does buyer will be the one to print after they download or you as seller can partner with printing company as well? Hope you have a video for this. Thank you

[@KateHayes]

You can do either! For the types of templates this video is covering most of the time buyers will print it out themselves.

[@business_manager93]

how you can sell your whatever design template , where you can publish it and lis it as a product for selling.

[@oliviabrown736]

Great information, please note that to be able to filter between FREE&PRO elements you must have Canva pro. That filter will not show up on a free account.

[@KateHayes]

If it’s not showing up for you, you can totally just look through taking note of which ones have the crown symbol and which ones don’t :)

[@khan.339]

No problem there is a yt? Channel @xgrow911 he has shown a trick of free canva pro

[@KateHayes]

Sorry friend! Sounds like you may need to reach out to the seller you bought the graphics from!

[@danielpeghini13]

Thanks for the reply! I do have one more question, Can you use Canva free and pro graphics on finished digital products to sell? Or do they have to be Canva templates if you use graphics off Canva? Was a bit confused reading there terms Thanks :)

[@aileenroy3070]

What about the envelope? Would you have to clearly state that the envelopes are not included?

[@MukeshThakur-kh8jl]

Thanks

[@KateHayes]

No problem!

[@laly1268]

hello! so im having a problem with the template link. I’ve published my listing and used your steps. I told my mom if she could purchase my listing so i could see in the customers pov. She purchased and downloaded the pdf, but when she changed some stuff around, it also changed the whole entire template including the one i have listed. Is there something you think that i could have done wrong?

[@KateHayes]

Hey there, sorry you’re having trouble! Make sure your sharing the link that specifically says “template link” - that way your customers will get their own copy without the original being changed

[@JJ-cl5wv]

Is this like Corjl but free? I want to start selling editable templates on Etsy but I don’t want to pay the fee that cordial has. Thank you for mentioning that we should only be using three elements and texts.

[@KateHayes]

Corjl is another popular tool but my fav is Canva! You can do everything you need on the free Canva plan or choose to upgrade and pay for pro (extra features and content but not necessary). You can definitely use more than three graphics/elements on your template design but as far as fonts go, I’d keep it to three or under so it stays cohesive! :)

[@kimbumgarner3158]

I cannot find a planner mockup that says commercial use. 😢

[@ellerichseven]

I don't have the option to select the free only

[@beckyhauk5248]

Commerce! That would have been a good C item

[@KateHayes]

Haha yes!! Great thought!

[@selmazino9431]

I love this! But if the customer can go into canva and editing the invitation or the order they get why they don't go in canva and just make their own design use it for their wedding? What make them buy one?

[@kripasmaria5005]

Simple: some people don't have the time and are willing to spend a few bucks instead of wasting valuable time Orr it's just that people are too lazy to do it themselves and rather spend money

[@kristayuhas724]

Feeling like you can’t use Canva pro graphics on templates can be really frustrating, since the pro graphics are often nicer.

[@KateHayes]

I definitely get that! You can include pro graphics on other types of digital products like printables, just better not to on templates unfortunately.

[@KateHayes]

True but most people want to save time and effort and don’t want to have to start from scratch so they’ll buy pre-made templates :)

[@Dawns_Creative_Carousel]

Baddie in business breaks all this down and then some! ❤
