Sell on Monaiq
This page is the map of the seller journey: every step from a new account to a paid sale, in the order you will do them.
None of it needs code. You can build a catalog, publish it, sell and get paid entirely from the portal. Code enters the picture only when you want your own product to check the licenses Monaiq issues, and that lives in Integrate.
1. Know what it costs
Section titled “1. Know what it costs”Monaiq’s fee is 7% of each sale, and you are paid out by Stripe to your bank account. You get 30 days’ notice before that rate changes, and the rate at the time of a sale governs that sale. Pricing and fees sets out the numbers, the currencies your buyers can be charged in, and links the seller agreement that states all of it formally.
2. Get set up
Section titled “2. Get set up”Create an account at monaiq.com/register, then become a seller from your profile: accept the seller agreement and complete Stripe onboarding. Stripe collects identity and payout details so it can pay you, and Monaiq never sees card or bank secrets. Get started as a seller walks the sequence.
3. Build your catalog
Section titled “3. Build your catalog”A product is what a license unlocks. Features are the parts of it a license turns on, and some of those can be rate-limited. An offering is what a customer actually buys: one of your products, at a price, on a billing schedule, with the features you attach to it. Offerings are priced as a subscription or as a one-time purchase, either of which can add a consumption overlay. Products and offerings covers all of it, including the 7-day free trial.
4. Publish
Section titled “4. Publish”Offerings are Draft, Public or Private. Public offerings appear on the marketplace and on your own storefront page. Publish to the marketplace explains each status and where a published offering shows up.
5. Sell and deliver
Section titled “5. Sell and deliver”When a customer buys, Monaiq issues the license, mints their credentials inside their account and emails them a link to it. You do not send keys yourself. Deliver to your customers describes the purchase from your side, including the option to run the purchase inside your own product instead of on the marketplace.
6. Get paid, and handle the exceptions
Section titled “6. Get paid, and handle the exceptions”We bill each of your customers every period, raise the invoices and pay you through Stripe. You issue refunds yourself, and the platform fee comes back in proportion. When a customer’s payment fails, their subscription is suspended until the payment succeeds and the payment is retried automatically. Get paid covers invoices, payouts, refunds and failures.
7. Watch what is happening
Section titled “7. Watch what is happening”Analytics shows usage by feature, customer and offering, and lets you raise an invoice for a date range.
