Sell Notion templates online duplicate links delivered after payment, not on trust.
A Notion template is a page the buyer duplicates into their own workspace, so the product you are really selling is a link, and the whole business rests on that link staying private until someone has paid. Marketplaces handle that for a percentage of each sale and put your template next to a hundred similar ones. Selling from your own site keeps the full price and the buyer's email.
Overview
EmbPay is built for link-shaped products. Deliver the duplicate link as a hosted URL that opens after payment, or inside a short PDF that also carries your setup notes. The checkout sits on your landing page, your Twitter bio or your newsletter, payment is by card into your own Stripe account, and the link goes out the moment the charge succeeds.
How notion templates are priced in practice.
Simple trackers and planners sell for a few dollars to the low tens; complete systems for a job or a business, and templates with a video course attached, sell in the tens to low hundreds.
Notion buyers pay for a working system and for confidence that they can set it up, so the setup guide is part of the price. A free lite version is the classic funnel, but EmbPay does not sell at zero, so run the free version from your own site and use EmbPay for the paid tier, or make the lite tier pay-what-you-want with a low floor. Offer the full system as a one-click upsell after the lite purchase.
Pricing options that fit
- One-time — a template or a full system.
- Pay-what-you-want with a minimum — for a lite tier or a community edition.
- Split-pay — for a high-priced system sold with onboarding, two or three instalments.
One product can carry up to six pricing options; the buyer chooses at checkout. Full detail in subscriptions, split-pay and pay-what-you-want.
Selling notion templates with EmbPay takes three steps.
- 1
Create the product
In the dashboard, add a product with a name, description and price. Choose how it is delivered: upload a file, point to a hosted URL, issue a licence key, or show instructions after purchase.
- 2
Package your notion templates
For a single template, the hosted-URL delivery type is the cleanest: the buyer is sent to a page you control that holds the duplicate button and a short setup guide. For a bundle or a template that needs explaining, upload one PDF with the link, the setup steps and screenshots; a walkthrough video can be zipped alongside it. EmbPay hosts one file per product, up to 500 MB.

Share the link or embed the checkout
Every product has a hosted page you can link from anywhere, and an embed snippet for your own site. Connect your Stripe account and buyers can pay; until then the page says the product is not on sale yet.
The parts of EmbPay notion templates sellers actually use.
Every item here is enforced in code, on the free plan unless it says otherwise.
Hosted-URL delivery
Point the product at your own link page and EmbPay sends the buyer there only after a successful payment. The URL is in the confirmation email and the customer hub too, so a closed tab loses nothing.
Upsell the full system
After a lite-tier purchase, offer the complete system as a one-click upsell that charges the same card. Decline can branch to a cheaper add-on such as a dashboard pack.
Your buyers, in your list
Every sale records the email, and the built-in integrations push it to Mailchimp, Kit, MailerLite, Klaviyo and others, so the next template launch has an audience.
Automatic tax if you need it
Switch on tax collection and Stripe Tax on your own account calculates and collects it at checkout. Useful once EU buyers become a meaningful share of sales.
What a sale costs you: Stripe's fee, and nothing else.
EmbPay platform fee
On every plan, including free. There is no per-sale percentage and no per-order charge anywhere in the payment path.
0%
Stripe processing
Billed by Stripe on your own account, as on any card payment. Usually 2.9% + 30¢ for a US domestic card; other countries differ.
Stripe's rate
Monthly
Free covers two products. Pro adds unlimited products, licence keys and API keys. Neither takes a cut.
$0 or $29

Selling notion templates: the questions we get.
Can I give the template away free and upsell?
EmbPay does not process zero-priced orders; every charge has a minimum of fifty cents. Run the free version from your own site or newsletter, and use EmbPay for the paid tiers. Alternatively, set the lite tier as pay-what-you-want with a low floor.
How do I update a template buyers already have?
Update the original Notion page and the duplicate link serves the new version to future buyers. Existing buyers have already duplicated the old one, so publish a changelog page and email them; EmbPay has no automatic re-delivery.
Should I deliver a link or a PDF?
A link, via hosted-URL delivery, for a single template. A PDF for bundles or anything that needs a setup guide next to the link. Both are released only after payment.
Can buyers manage their own subscription if I sell a template club?
Yes. Subscribers open the customer hub by email, without a password, and can update their card or cancel from the Stripe billing portal. You are never the bottleneck for a cancellation.
What does it cost per sale?
The platform fee is 0% on every plan. Stripe charges its own processing fee on your account. The free plan covers two products; Pro removes that limit.
