Stop Giving Away 30% of Your Software Revenue. There Is a Better Way.

You built a tool. An app. A plugin. A game mod. A desktop utility. Maybe a Figma plugin or a Blender addon.

Now what? Where do you sell it?

Gumroad takes 10%. Paddle takes their cut. The App Store wants 30%. And most of them treat software sellers like an afterthought - no license verification, no activation keys, no way to protect your work.

What if you could sell your software from your own store, keep 100% of the revenue, and get built-in license verification?

That is exactly what 3DIMLI does.

Selling Software on 3DIMLI - What Makes It Different

Most digital product platforms treat software as just another file download. 3DIMLI actually built features specifically for software sellers:

License Verification API

When someone buys your software on 3DIMLI, they get a unique license key. You can verify that key from inside your app using our API:

POST https://www.3dimli.com/api/software/v1/verify
{
  "key": "buyer-license-key-here",
  "product_slug": "/my-tool"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The API tells you if the license is valid, what type it is (standard, commercial, etc.), and if it has been refunded. No need to build your own licensing system.

How It Works

  1. You upload your software (installer, zip, whatever format)
  2. You set pricing and license types - standard, commercial, custom
  3. Buyer purchases and gets a license key
  4. Your software calls the 3DIMLI API to verify the key on launch
  5. You get paid instantly via PayPal/Stripe/Razorpay

No middleman holding your money. No waiting weeks for payouts. No 30% cuts.

Bulk Upload with Desktop App

Got multiple products? Download the 3DIMLI Desktop App and use the Watch Folder feature. Drop your product folders in, and drafts are created automatically. Perfect if you have a catalog of plugins, tools, or asset packs.
