I’m making a simple Custom Component, albeit simple, I was wondering if at this point in the development of Elements it is premature to make it an Elements Pack to sell it.
What are the best practices for selling ElementsPack?
And for any updates, how does it work?
Right now, only DevPacks are supported in Elements, these are for development use only, and aren’t encrypted, optimized, or intended for resale. You can however share them on the forum or privately with users for beta feedback.
We’re actively working on launching the Elements Store, which will support the distribution and sale of fully encrypted Element Packs. These can include single or multiple addons, including:
- Components
- Templates
- Themes
Element Packs will be encrypted and bundled with licensing support, so you’ll be able to confidently sell and protect your work. You’ll also be able to push updates through the store, so customers can receive the latest version of your packs automatically, no manual downloads or version tracking required.
In the meantime, I’d recommend using DevPacks to build and refine your components, get feedback, and prepare for the store launch. We’ll share more details soon, when the store is closer to launch.
Hope that helps, and I’m excited to see what you’re building!
Sorry for the “stupid” question (I’m not a code developer, I’m just learning slowly)… but with DevPacks the code is not readable/public?
If you provide a devpack for download anyone can open it
Only the Elements Packs will be encrypted
