# How to Sell Canva Templates
> Sell Canva templates with Creem and automatically share a template link right after payment
This guide shows you how to sell a Canva template with Creem so buyers get **instant access** to your **template link** as soon as payment completes.
You’ll set up:
* A finished Canva design and a [template link](https://www.canva.com/en_in/help/share-via-link-or-email/#share-your-design-using-a-link)
* A Creem product with a **Private Note** that contains the link (Markdown supported)
* A checkout flow (no-code payment link or API integration)
* Automatic delivery on the post-purchase screen, email receipt, and customer portal
## What buyers experience
After a successful payment, the buyer sees your private note content immediately:
* **Post-purchase confirmation screen** (when you don’t redirect away immediately)
* **Purchase confirmation email**
* **Customer portal** (so they can find it again later)
When they open the template link, Canva prompts them to sign in (or create a free account), then adds an editable copy of your design to their workspace. Your original file stays unchanged.
## Create your Canva template link
Complete your design in Canva. Use a clear page structure and names if you’re selling a multi-page pack (for example, “Cover”, “Instagram post”, “Story”).
In the Canva editor:
1. Open your finished design.
2. Click **Share** in the top menu.
3. In **Access level**, change **Only you can access** to **Anyone with the link** and **Can edit** to **Can comment**.
4. Click **Copy link** and save the URL somewhere safe.
Full steps are in [Canva’s template link help article](https://www.canva.com/help/share-template-link/).
## Set up automated delivery with Private Notes
Go to the [Products tab](https://creem.io/dashboard/products) and create a new product.
Use a clear name like “Canva Template: Social Media Kit” and a description that matches what the buyer gets.
In the product settings under **Product Features**, add [Private Notes](/features/addons/private-notes) and paste a note that includes your Canva template link.
Private Notes support Markdown, so you can include a clickable link, short instructions, and support details.
Example:
```md theme={null}
## Your Canva template is ready
Open this link to add the template to your Canva account:
- **Template link**: https://canva.link/...
Next steps:
1. Open the link (sign in or create a free Canva account)
2. Customize the copy in your own Canva workspace
```
Keep the Canva template link in the Private Note so it’s only revealed after payment.
## Create a checkout (no-code or API)
You can sell the Canva template with either a shareable checkout link or a checkout session you create on demand.
Copy a payment link from the product and share it anywhere.
Create a checkout session via API/SDK for dynamic flows.
### Option A: Share the product payment link (no code)
After creating your product, click **Share** in the dashboard and use the payment link on:
* Your landing page
* A “Buy now” button
* A newsletter or social post
### Option B: Create a checkout session (API)
If you want to attach internal tracking (template slug, campaign, user ID), create a checkout session and redirect the buyer to it.
```typescript theme={null}
const checkout = await creem.checkouts.create({
productId: 'prod_YOUR_TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_ID',
requestId: 'order_12345',
metadata: {
productType: 'canva_template',
templateSlug: 'social-media-kit',
campaign: 'launch',
},
});
// Redirect the user to checkout.url (depending on your framework)
```
If you already know the buyer’s email (for example, they’re logged in),
pre-fill it to reduce checkout friction.
```typescript theme={null}
const checkout = await creem.checkouts.create({
productId: 'prod_YOUR_TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_ID',
customer: { email: 'buyer@example.com' },
});
```
## Where the Canva template link appears to customers
After setup, the Canva template link is delivered automatically in several places:
### Order Confirmation Page
If no custom redirect URL is specified, the note is shown on the order success page right after checkout.
### Email Receipt
The private note with the Canva template link is included in the purchase confirmation email.
### Customer Portal
Customers can open the note and copy the Canva template link again from their customer portal.
