Shop guide: sell digital products, services and more
With the Shop you sell what you make directly to your audience: digital files, courses, custom services or physical products. eSponsor handles the payment and delivers the content to the buyer.
The shop is available on every plan.
How to open it
- In your dashboard, go to Monetization → Shop.
- Tap Create a shop.
At the top you'll see three tabs:
- Products: everything you sell.
- Sales: the orders you receive.
- Settings: options that apply to your whole shop.
What you can sell
Tap Add product and choose the type:
- Digital product: images, videos, ebooks, podcasts, raffles and more.
- Courses and tutorials: templates, practical guides and learning materials.
- Service: exclusive access, greetings, commissions and other custom work.
- Physical product: merchandise, books, clothing, accessories and more.
Create a product
The form changes a little depending on the type, but these parts are shared.
Image and video
- Cover: the product's main photo. We recommend 800 × 800 px.
- Sample video: optional. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link to show a preview.
Title and description
- Title: the product's name.
- Description: what's included, who it's for and why it's worth it.
Product content (digital products and courses)
Choose how the buyer gets what they bought:
- File: upload the files delivered on purchase. You can upload up to 50 files.
- Link: if your product lives somewhere else (for example, Google Drive), paste the download link.
- Telegram group access: sell entry to one of your connected Telegram groups. Read how to connect the eSponsor bot.
Service content (services)
Choose how you arrange delivery with the buyer:
- Email: we send the buyer a message with a copy to your email so you can coordinate.
- Link to schedule: we send the buyer your booking link (for example, Calendly) so they can pick a time.
Instructions to buyer
Optional. Text with what the buyer should know after paying: how to use the product, what to expect or how to reach you.
Price
- Price: how much it costs. If you leave it at 0, the product is Free and your audience can get it without paying.
Delivery (physical products)
Physical products use your shop's shipping settings. Tap Go to global shop configuration to review them (see Settings).
Configuration
- Published: shows the product in your shop so people can buy it. If you turn it off, it stays saved but hidden.
- Product 18+ or Service 18+: shows a warning before people see the product. Use it if the content is for adults only.
- Stock: Infinite, or Set stock if you only have a few.
- Tags: group your products by topic, for example "Ebooks" or "Merch".
- Notify your audience: we email your followers about your new product.
Tap Add to create it. When you're done, you'll see a prompt to share it on your social accounts.
Your products list
In the Products tab you see each product with its image, its Type, its status (Published or Not published), its Price, how many Sales it has, its Stock and its Profits.
- Search products by name.
- Drag products to change the order they appear in your shop.
- Manage tags: change each tag's name, URL or image, or delete it. If you delete a tag, it's removed from all its products.
From each product's menu you can:
- See: open it the way your audience sees it.
- Edit: change any detail.
- Share: copy the link or share it on your social accounts.
- Export buyers: download the list of people who bought it (shows up once it has sales).
- Remove: delete it. This can't be undone.

Where your audience sees it
- Your Link in Bio: when you create your shop, a shop block is added to your page. You can move or remove it in the editor. Read the complete Link in Bio guide.
- Your website: with the Shop module you get a page with all your products (for example,
yoursite.com/shop) and a page for each product. You can also add the Shop block to any page, with the products you pick, or the Collection block, with the products of one tag. Read the complete website guide.
Buyers choose a product, pay and get the content. If the product is free, they tap Get instead of Buy.
Your sales
In the Sales tab you see three numbers at the top:
- Products sold: how many products you've sold.
- Last 30 days: how much you sold in the last month.
- Total sales: how much you've sold in total.
Below is the list of orders with the Sponsor (the buyer), the Product name, the Price paid and the Date. Tap View to open the details:
- Summary: the amount, the date and the buyer's message, if they left one.
- Products details: what they bought.
- Shipping information: for physical products, the shipping type and delivery details.
- Payer information: the answers to the fields you ask for at checkout, if you set them up.
Settings
In the Settings tab you can change:
- Activate my shop: opens or closes your shop. If you close it, nobody can buy.
- Want to notify your followers?: the default for Notify your audience when you create a product.
- Thank you message: what people see after buying any product from your shop.
- Shipping configuration (physical products): choose how you deliver your physical products:
- Store pickup: the buyer picks it up. Enter the Address, City and Country.

If you ever see a notice that your shop has been blocked, email info@esponsor.com to sort it out.
Where's my money?
Every sale also shows up in Finance → Sales, with the Shop module, the commission and the amount you get. There you can filter by product.
The money goes to your Wallet, where you can withdraw it. Read how to withdraw my money.
