Templates

Templates are the merchant-facing way to build what the API and CLI call a product. They are the same commercial object. The dashboard simply uses the word merchants see every day.

​

What every template should answer

A strong template answers these questions immediately:

1. what is the buyer getting
2. what does the buyer pay
3. what happens after payment
4. where does the merchant receive the funds

If any of those answers feel vague, the template is not ready yet.

​

The builder sequence

The builder is easiest to use when you move through it in order:

1. Offer format
   Choose whether this is a Telegram membership flow, Discord access flow, gated redirect, digital product, download, or custom path.
2. Offer
   Set the buyer-facing title, description, and optional cover image.
3. Pricing and renewal
   Set the price, billing interval, and any grace period.
4. Payout and access
   Confirm the payout wallet and the buyer destination after payment.

​

Choose the offer format first

Pick the format the buyer already understands before they even reach checkout:

• Telegram memberships
• Discord access
• redirects and gated links
• digital products and downloads
• custom merchant-handled delivery

The best templates feel familiar before the buyer reads the fine print.

​

Offer copy

The title and description should sell the offer clearly, not sound technical or abstract. Good:

• Telegram Inner Circle
• Monthly access to the members channel and weekly live calls

Weak:

• Tier 2 access control package
• Subscription workflow for premium cohort

Buyers should feel the value, not decode the merchant’s own shorthand.

​

Pricing and renewal

Inside the builder, merchants should expect to set:

• one-time or recurring access
• buyer price
• renewal interval
• grace period if they want one

The commercial summary should always make the money obvious:

• buyer price
• Hilt fee
• estimated merchant take-home

​

Payout and access

Every template should make these outcomes clear:

• where the money goes
• where the buyer goes after payment

That means the payout wallet and the success destination are part of the commercial promise, not just setup details.

​

Branding and preview

Templates inherit workspace checkout branding, including:

• checkout brand name
• logo
• hero image
• accent color

Per-template details such as title, cover image, and success wording should make the offer feel specific rather than generic. Use the preview before publishing. It is the fastest way to catch:

• unclear copy
• awkward destination wording
• weak success-state language

​

Publish checklist

Before you publish a template:

• title is buyer-friendly
• description is specific
• payout wallet is correct
• success destination is correct
• pricing and renewal rules make sense
• preview looks trustworthy
• one small live payment has been tested

​

Good habits that keep templates sellable

• one clear promise per template
• one clear destination after payment
• one audience per offer
• one tiny live test before wider traffic

Templates work best when buyers understand them at a glance and merchants can operate them from one clean ledger.
