In short
- Selling software takes a storefront, payments, licences, delivery, updates and support for trials and refunds.
- Pramaan Marketplace handles all of it: listing, free trials, payment, a licence sealed to each buyer, and updates.
- Buyers pay in USDC, USDT, ETH or BTC; you're paid in the same transaction, less a 15% fee.
- Every resale of your app pays you a royalty.
What selling software involves
Behind every "Buy" button sit five jobs: a listing people trust, payment, a licence that stops one purchase becoming a hundred copies, delivery of the right build to the right buyer, and updates. Most independent developers glue these together from a payment processor, a licence service and a download host, and then maintain the glue.
Selling on Pramaan Marketplace
- Protect and publish a release from the Pramaan console on your computer.
- List it: name, description, screenshots, price, licence length and an optional free trial of 7, 14 or 30 days.
- Pramaan reviews it, and it goes live with every release on the public record, so buyers can check it's genuine.
Buyers get a licence sealed to their own computer or phone, which works offline and needs no account to keep alive. See selling, step by step.
Getting paid
Buyers pay with stablecoins (USDC or USDT), ETH or BTC through the Marketplace contract, which splits each payment in the same transaction: Pramaan's fee to Pramaan, the rest straight to your account. No payout schedule, no chargebacks, no card processor in between. Withdraw to any wallet or exchange when you like. Every payment, sale, royalty and refund appears in your Wallet's transaction history, with a CSV for your accounts.
Trials, resale and leak tracing
- Free trials, once per person: Pramaan remembers each trial by the buyer's computer, account and phone install, permanently.
- Licence resale with escrow, a minimum price you set, and a royalty to you on every resale.
- Leak tracing, so a leaked copy names its source.
- Download counts that carry over across every update.
The free plan covers one app and 25 customers; see pricing.
