Payhook/Sell code templates
Seller guide

Sell code templates and developer tools online

Payhook is built for developers — list your boilerplates, starter kits, and tools with a full write API, instant file delivery, and 0% platform fee. Sell with code the same way you built with code.

What sells well in the code category

Boilerplates & starter kits
Next.js, SvelteKit, FastAPI, Rails — pre-configured starters that save hours of setup. Buyers pay for your time, not your code.
CLI tools & scripts
Bash scripts, Python utilities, dev automation tools — anything that solves a recurring developer pain point.
Component libraries
UI component packs, design system starters, Tailwind configs, and Figma-to-code kits.
Integration kits
API wrappers, webhook handlers, Stripe setups, auth templates — the boilerplate nobody wants to write twice.

Why developers choose Payhook

  • Full write API — create products, generate checkout links, and receive sale webhooks programmatically
  • 0% platform fee — only Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30p per transaction
  • Webhook on every sale — trigger license generation, access provisioning, or repo access from code
  • Marketplace discovery — buyers searching for code tools browse the /code category directly
  • No manual ops — automated file delivery means no inbox to monitor after launch

Common questions

Can I sell access to a private GitHub repo?
Yes — use the webhook to trigger a GitHub API call that invites the buyer's GitHub username to your private repo. Pair that with a form on your checkout success page to capture their handle.
Can I sell multiple versions of the same product?
Yes. Create separate products for different tiers (e.g., Basic vs Pro) and set your own pricing for each.
Is there a limit on file size for uploads?
Files up to 100MB are supported. For larger assets, use a direct R2 or S3 URL and deliver it via webhook.
