What is the Digital Marketplace?

A store on IndieCrowdfund where you sell finished digital books straight to readers. No funding goal. No campaign timer. You upload a finished file and people can buy it right now.

Best for: completed books, sequels, one-shots, art collections — anything you would not run a Kickstarter for.

Why sell here?

The Marketplace is extra income on top of your crowdfunding work. Sell your old books while you make new ones. Sell digital versions of campaigns you already shipped. Your existing IndieCrowdfund audience already knows and trusts the site.

Crowdfund Vol. 2 while Vol. 1 sits on the Marketplace bringing in steady sales.

What can you sell?

Right now: digital books as PDF files. That covers graphic novels, comics, art books, illustrated novels, guides — anything you can deliver as a single PDF. The work has to be yours; you must own the rights to sell it.

A high-quality PDF is everything. Make sure pages display sharp on a phone AND look good on a tablet.

How you get paid

When someone buys your book, the processor you picked (Divinity Payments, PayPal, or Whop) handles the card. The platform takes a 3% fee. The processor takes their fee (~3% + a small flat amount). What's left lands in your creator balance and pays out to your bank on the standard schedule for that processor.

Reader pays $9.99 → processor takes ~$0.60 → Platform takes ~$0.30 → You get ~$9.09.
