How to Sell PDFs, Links, and Digital Downloads with Built-In Checkout on Maedix

By the end of this guide, you'll know exactly how to set up a product, connect payment, and get paid when selling PDFs, links, or text-based digital products through Maedix's built-in checkout.

Choosing the Right Product Type

Maedix supports three digital product formats, and picking the right one matters for how delivery actually works:

• PDF — the right choice for ebooks, guides, templates, worksheets, or anything that's a standalone document. The buyer receives the file directly after payment.
• Link — the right choice when the actual product lives somewhere else, like a course hosted on a separate platform, a private community, or an external resource. The buyer gets access to the link immediately after checkout.
• Text — the right choice for something short and simple to deliver, like an access code, a key, or short written content that doesn't need a full file.

Setting Up a Product

Once you've decided on a format, setting up a product inside Maedix follows the same basic structure regardless of type: a title, a description, a price, and the actual content (the file, the link, or the text) to deliver once payment clears. This product then becomes part of your landing page's products section, covered in more depth in our landing page builder guide.

Connecting the Payment Gateway

Maedix's checkout runs through an integrated payment gateway, meaning you don't need to separately connect or manage a third-party payment processor — the payment flow is already built into the same system as your landing page and product listings. This keeps the entire transaction, from checkout to confirmation, inside one connected system rather than handing the buyer off to an external payment page.

Understanding the Payout Timeline

Payouts from sales made through Maedix's checkout are processed on a 7-day cycle. It's worth planning around this timeline if you're relying on digital product sales for regular cash flow — knowing the payout schedule in advance avoids any surprise about when funds from a given sale will actually land in your account.

Connecting a Product to Your DM Automation

Once a product is live, the natural next step is linking it into your comment-to-DM flow — a keyword trigger delivering a tappable button that leads straight to your Maedix checkout page for that specific product, rather than a generic landing page the buyer has to search through. This connects directly to the techniques covered in our CTA button design guide, now applied to a product page you control entirely within Maedix.

A Simple End-to-End Example

A creator sets up a PDF product — a budget planner — with a title, description, and price. They build a landing page with that product listed, a short FAQ addressing common pre-purchase questions, and a testimonial or two. Their comment-to-DM flow uses the keyword "PLANNER," sending a DM with a button straight to the checkout page for that specific product. A buyer comments, taps through, pays, and receives the PDF instantly — with the payout landing in the creator's account seven days later.
