Do you run the model?
No. Cartcord delivers the file or link you configured.
Direct answer
Sell AI prompts and workflow resources by explaining the task, required model or tool, input format, external costs and expected limitations. Deliver a documented prompt pack, configuration file or private resource link through Cartcord after verified payment. Buyers supply their own authorized service accounts and credentials. A downloadable workflow does not include hosted execution, unlimited AI usage, automatic provisioning or a guarantee of identical results across models and versions.
How it works for AI workflow sellers
- 01
Invite the bot
Open the dashboard with Manage Server.
- 02
Publish the product
Review payment eligibility and configure configured file or private repository link after confirmed payment.
- 03
Buyers use /buy
After payment verification, configured delivery is attempted.
Understand the operating cost
Choose by the actual product, audience and services you need. Cartcord's plans are Free $0, Basic $29.99, Pro $59.99 and Enterprise $129.99 per month. Cartcord charges no sales commission; PayPal processing and other merchant costs remain separate. A marketplace may provide discovery, billing, hosting or tax services that a flat Discord-store plan does not.

Document the execution environment
Name the tools, model versions and application versions you used when testing. State whether the resource is a text prompt, a workflow import, a script or access to a hosted service you operate. These deliverables have different setup requirements and ongoing costs. Explain which steps run locally, which contact an external provider and what information is transmitted. A screenshot of a successful result is not a complete installation guide.
Provide sample inputs that you own or are authorized to redistribute. Include an expected output shape and a way to recognize failure. If the workflow needs a spreadsheet schema, webhook endpoint or database table, describe it explicitly. Do not include your personal API key, a customer token or a live production credential in the export. Test a clean import with a new credential supplied through the target tool's normal secret storage.
Explain costs and uncertainty before checkout
A one-time prompt purchase does not pay for every future model call. Identify the external subscriptions, usage-based services, storage or hosting the buyer may need. When you show a sample cost, state the assumptions and date rather than presenting it as a fixed universal price. Different model choices, input sizes and retry behavior can materially change the cost of running the same workflow.
Describe variability honestly. Outputs may need human review, and a provider update may change formatting or behavior. Avoid promising guaranteed income, perfect factual accuracy or a specific result for every input. For a workflow used in a consequential decision, explain the review step and the limits of the supplied automation. A useful product gives the buyer an observable process and failure signals, not only a collection of impressive examples.
Deliver a resource rather than an unsupported service promise
Use file delivery for a prompt archive, workflow export or documented script. Use link delivery for a maintained resource page. Use manual fulfillment when you are selling customization that requires your time. Cartcord does not automatically create a cloud account, provision an AI agent or connect a customer's private systems because a product uses an automation preset. Describe any external service or human work separately.
A protected upload can limit how a download link is redeemed, but it cannot prevent copying a prompt after delivery. Optional software-license verification applies only when you have an application that integrates it; it does not make an ordinary text file enforce device limits. Choose a licensing and pricing model appropriate to the resource rather than describing a downloadable document as uncopyable intellectual property.
Maintain examples and a recovery path
Keep a changelog when the recommended model, import format or integration changes. Tell buyers whether maintenance is included and how long you will support the documented environment. Preserve a tested version and sample data so a customer can reproduce an issue. If an upstream service removes a required API, explain the practical impact instead of silently leaving an old screenshot as evidence of current compatibility.
Support requests should identify the purchased version, tool version and a sanitized error. Ask customers to redact secrets and private inputs. Do not request an entire production export when a small sample can reproduce the problem. Record common setup errors in the guide, and distinguish a defect in your resource from an external provider outage, exhausted account quota or a missing paid feature in the customer's chosen tool.
A launch checklist you can repeat
Start from a hidden product and review it as a buyer: name, current price, included deliverables, dependencies, access duration, license and support contact. Connect the seller payment account for the intended store and verify that the selected product can be published. Use a genuine preview of your work. Remove test data, private credentials and unlicensed material before adding the delivery destination.
Run an authorized checkout test with an identity that represents a buyer, then inspect both the payment result and fulfillment result. A browser return page is not evidence of a captured payment by itself. Exercise purchase recovery and a delivery retry. Before announcing the product, keep a record of the terms, the version being sold and the recovery instructions your staff will give a customer.
Compare the operating model, not just the headline fee
Manual ticket selling can suit occasional custom work, but staff must reconcile each payment and fulfill each promise. A percentage marketplace may include discovery, billing, tax or hosting services you would otherwise operate. Cartcord's flat server plan and direct seller PayPal checkout serve a different workflow. Calculate the cost of the features you actually need instead of treating every percentage or subscription as interchangeable.
Include payment processing, currency conversion, hosting, refunds and support time in the comparison. Cartcord taking zero sales commission does not remove those costs or make Cartcord the merchant of record. Check the current plan's limits and provider eligibility for your particular product. Choose the route that meets the buyer's delivery and recovery needs at the volume you can realistically support.
| Responsibility | Manual ticket workflow | Cartcord released workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Payment confirmation | Staff reconcile the correct merchant transaction | Provider confirmation is checked before configured delivery |
| Fulfillment | Staff send the resource or complete the promised service | Configured file, link, key or role delivery is attempted; manual work still needs staff |
| Recovery | Staff locate the purchase and determine what was delivered | Original-account purchase recovery and recorded delivery results help investigate failures |
| Cost | Account for processor charges, tools and staff time | Account for the store plan, processor charges, hosting and support |
Compare your monthly cost scenarios
Enter your actual fees. These are editable USD scenarios, not provider quotes. Include processor charges in both scenarios. Compare equivalent services and permitted products; required platform checkout still applies.
Enter every fee, including zero where applicable. Use non-negative amounts, whole orders and percentages up to 100.
Taxes, refunds, disputes, conversion, payout and support costs need separate review. Cartcord sales commission is 0%; the store plan and processor costs remain.
