Step 1: Choosing the Right Digital Products to Sell
Before you start designing anything, let’s talk about what kind of digital products actually sell well. Canva makes it super easy to create just about anything, but if you want to make money, here are some great options:
- Ebooks and guides – Package your knowledge into an easy-to-read PDF.
- Digital planners and journals – Productivity tools like daily planners, wellness trackers, or goal-setting journals.
- Canva templates – Ready-made templates for social media posts, presentations, resumes, or business cards.
- Online course materials – Workbooks, slides, or worksheets to supplement an online course.
- Workbooks and checklists – Step-by-step guides to help customers take action on a topic.
The best part? Once you create these products, you can sell them repeatedly without any extra work!
Step 2: Creating Your Digital Product in Canva
Now, let’s get into the fun part — designing your product! Canva offers thousands of customizable templates, or you can create something entirely from scratch.
How to Create Your Product:
- Find a Canva template – Search for keywords like “ebook,” “planner,” or “course workbook” to find a design that fits your needs.
- Customize it – Make it your own by adjusting fonts, colors, images, and layouts.
- Add interactive elements – Hyperlinks are great for ebooks and workbooks that require easy navigation.
- Export your file – Depending on your product type, you can save it as:
- PDF (Best for ebooks, planners, guides, and journals)
- Canva template link (For editable templates customers can duplicate)
- Public view link (For viewing without downloading, though less secure)
Quick Tip: Before selling your product, review Canva’s commercial usage terms to ensure you’re following the licensing rules.
Step 3: Selling Your Digital Products on Your Own Website
A lot of people sell digital products on marketplaces like Etsy, but selling on your own website gives you way more control over everything — pricing, how you bundle your products, and even memberships. Here’s how to do it:
1. Create a Web Page to Display your Digital Products
Think of this as your storefront. A clean, grid-style layout works best so customers can browse all of your digital products. You’ll want to include:
- A title and description for each product
- The price
- A purchase button that links to the product’s individual page
2. Set Up Individual Product Pages
Each digital product needs its own page — this is where your purchase buttons from the product showcase page will send customers. The pages will be paywalled in the next step, meaning customers have to create an account and complete their payment before they can view or download the product.
On each product page, you’ll want to include:
- The downloadable file (whether it’s a PDF, Canva template link, or a view-only link).
- Any additional bonuses or instructions they need to use the product.
3. Install MemberSpace to Sell Your Products
Now, let’s set up your paywall so only paying customers can access your digital products. MemberSpace makes this super simple:
First, take the URLs for each of your product pages and add them to your MemberSpace dashboard, which will instantly add a paywall to them, so customers have to create an account and pay before they view your content.
Next you’ll need to set up your pricing. With MemberSpace, you can sell products individually for a one-time payment, bundle them together, or offer a membership subscription where customers get access to multiple products for a recurring fee.
When someone clicks to purchase your product, they’ll see a paywall pop-up like this one below that prompts them to sign up and pay.
And just like that, you can start accepting payments for your digital products!
Final Thoughts
And that’s it! With Canva, you can quickly create digital products, and with MemberSpace, you can sell them on your own terms. Whether it’s ebooks, planners, templates, or online course materials, this setup gives you full control over your sales and lets you build a business that works for you.
