Sell Notion templates and maximize your earnings

Sell Notion templates with ease

The most popular ways to sell Notion templates are through Notion’s built-in payment feature or Gumroad. However, both platforms charge about 10% of your income for using their services—that’s a lot, right? But it’s not just about the fees. With Easytools, you get more for less, as we offer additional features that can boost your template sales with zero extra effort from you. Keep reading to discover why Easytools is the best place to sell Notion templates.

Launch your sales in minutes

To sell Notion templates with Easytools, start by setting up your checkout and creating a new product. It’s super simple—just upload an image, add a description, and set the price. Then, connect to Stripe, our payment provider for processing.

Stripe allows you to:

• Enable all popular payment methods in your cart without any hassles.
• Skip lengthy verification processes—just enter your business or personal details, accept their terms, and you’re ready to accept payments.

Selling through Stripe also means instant payouts. You can choose a predefined schedule or make manual withdrawals. Your money is always available in your Stripe account, so you’ll never struggle to access it.

After connecting to Stripe, you’re ready to publish your checkout and start selling your templates.

Even if you’re a tech newbie, you can launch a simple checkout in just 15 minutes. Need more advanced features or customization? It’s just a few clicks away, and we’ll cover that shortly.

Digital product delivery

Easytools automatically delivers your template to customers after purchase in several ways:

1. PDF delivery: Create a dedicated PDF featuring the template link, which customers receive right after purchase. Upload the file to your checkout, and anyone who makes a purchase can access it—either by downloading it from the thank you page, the confirmation email, or the Easytools customer portal.
2. Direct link access: Skip the PDF and upload your Notion template directly as a link. We recommend adding the link in three places:
   • Thank You Page button: Add the link, and customers can access the template by clicking the button right after purchase.
   • Confirmation email: Include the link in the purchase confirmation email to ensure customers receive it.
   • Customer portal: Add the link in the customer portal, either in the description or under a dedicated button.

Note: There’s no way to make your template 100% secure. Whether you use a downloadable PDF or share the link directly, Notion workspace features public link sharing and there’s always a chance someone will share the template with their friends after duplicating it. So, we encourage you to trust your customers and focus on making the purchase easy for them rather than gatekeeping the template at all costs.

3. PDF and direct link access: Alternatively, you can choose to do both—provide customers with a direct link on the thank you page and allow them to access it via the link right after successful payment processing.

Payment flexibility

The most common scenario that Notion template creators choose to offer their products is one-time purchases. However, as your business scales and you decide to set up a paid community, we also handle subscription payments.

You can easily switch between different payment models or offer product variants in a single checkout—e.g., an individual template or access to a bundle of your 10 best templates to increase cart value.

You can also use our Pay-What-You-Want (PWYW) model, allowing customers to decide how much they want to pay for your template. This strategy is great when you’re just starting or updating your pricing. You can set a minimum price to ensure customers can’t pay less than a reasonable amount.

Offering free templates

Turn your template into a lead magnet by offering free Notion templates to attract potential buyers or grow your email marketing list. To do this, simply choose a lead magnet payment model when configuring your checkout. Anyone who enters it will be able to collect the template free of charge but will first need to share their name and email. We’ll take care of delivering the free template.

Showcasing your Notion templates

How and where you present your product has a huge impact on your sales and conversions. With Easytools, you can sell digital products directly by using checkout links or by setting up a simple storefront for your products.

Selling using checkout links:
This is the simplest way—just copy the link to your checkout and publish it to get it in front of your audience promote your Notion templates wherever your customers may be. It can be on Instagram, TikTok, a landing page, your eCommerce site, a newsletter, or a Discord server. Many of our sellers have seen a significant rise in conversions by skipping the landing page and directing buyers straight to checkout.

Selling through a storefront:
You can also set up a simple storefront for your template, where you can add more images, text, and links (e.g., to your socials). Connect the page to your checkout, and when anyone clicks “Buy,” they go straight to a one-page checkout to make a payment.

Selling multiple templates:
If you sell more than one template, connect all your templates to your Easytools sales page to automatically create a sleek product listing and market any number of Notion templates in one place.

Marketing tools

Now, let’s move to the juicy part—powering up your checkout with additional features that will boost your sales with no extra effort. All the features listed below are available right in your cart configurator, and you can launch them all with just a few clicks:

• Discount Codes: Create a code to run a special offer or send it to select customers to thank them for their support. You can hide the coupon code field in your checkout to avoid killing conversions and share a link to the cart with the promo field for those with a code.
• Upsells: Bundle products to bring the best value to your customers—offer them your template along with access to your community at a promotional price.
• Cross-sells: After a purchase, offer customers additional materials with a time-limited discount to encourage them to get complementary templates or other products.
• Affiliate Links: Encourage your community to help you expand your reach by setting up a simple referral program for recommending your templates.
• Time-Limited Offers: Add a timer to your checkout to build FOMO and encourage customers to complete their purchase.
• Crossed-out Price: Display the old, slashed price next to the new promo price to highlight the value of your special offer.
• Customer Reviews in Cart: Showcase reviews from happy customers who purchased your template to leverage social proof.
• Checkout Recovery: Use our tools to recover transactions that might otherwise not convert.

Global tax & billing

One thing about being a Notion creator is that your work can easily scale globally. Especially if you publish your template to the Notion marketplace or some Notion communities, there’s a good chance that people from all over the world will purchase it. And that means dealing with taxes—and we’re here to help with that!

Easytools can automatically calculate tax for each purchase based on your location, your customer’s location, and whether they are a business. We’ll only apply the necessary tax at checkout. So, if you’re selling to the U.S. or Canada, you may find that you won’t have to charge any taxes, as you likely won't exceed the tax thresholds while selling Notion templates.

On the other hand, if you use a Model of Record (MoR) like Gumroad, they will always apply all possible taxes, regardless of thresholds. This means you may end up earning less on your templates or making your customers pay more.

Easytools can also take care of your billing. For an additional fee, we can manage all your invoices, support your customers, and even handle returns—all to make your Notion templates a true passive income stream without requiring any extra time or resources from you.

Own your customers

Last but not least, when selling through Easytools, all your customer data is yours in your Stripe account. Even if you decide to switch to another solution, you still own all your previous purchase details. You won’t have to rely on a single solution—if we experience any downtime, your customer data remains secure in your Stripe account.

Conclusion

Creating and selling Notion templates is a fantastic way to earn money while you sleep. Whether it’s to-do lists, personal productivity hacks, or digital product builders, being a template creator can be just your side gig and a way to make money after hours, or if you’re lucky, turn into your main income source.

It’s worth creating Notion templates the same way as building any other digital product— to be successful, you need to find the right audience, plan your sales funnel, and find a reliable delivery system to take the burden of managing orders off your shoulders.

No matter if you’re just starting or have some experience as a small business owner, choosing Easytools to sell templates will not only save you money but also help you earn more.
