hello, Im a newbie to the wix platform and editing on editor X. My question is if i make sites to sell as templates do i have to transfer the site to the customer? And how do I do that or is there a difference btwn selling templates and building a unique site for a client and transferring that final site to the client?
You need to transfer one by one, there is no template marketplace by Wix.
Selling templates means you create first, then sell it unlimited times. Unique sites means you get paid first to create a site for 1 time use (for your client, not for more sale)
You should be able to duplicate a site and then transfer the site to the client . Depending on how you want to work with the client, you can stay on as a contributor to be able to help on the site if they’ll need/want it.
If they just want to design you created and they can customize it, that would be closer to the “sell them a template”.
OK thank you. Wasn’t sure about selling templates because when i googled the answer i read on Wix’s site they purple can’t export or something else sounding like we couldn’t sell templates.
@certified-code thank you for your
Templates are a great way of creating some passive income (although it does take a little bit of work from your end).
From a business point of view, it makes sense to duplicate the site and then transfer it as there are no tools to automate this currently.
It can be annoying with all the duplicating etc. (Also theres the site invite link timeout to consider. 3 days I think, so possibly ensuring there are policies to cover that if it’s not accepted before it times out)
But definitely a great idea.

Hi Noah,
thanks for your response. So What are the steps to making templates in editor X? you’re saying duplicate the template then transfer it? But at what point do I transfer it? After someone buys the template?
Not a designer but think best thing for a template would be to showcase and highlight the design like our templates and think it would make sense to transfer the site once they pay and deciding if they will customize it themselves or hire you to do it.
If they want you to customize it, you could leave yourself as a contributor of the site.

Create the site in your account> Showcase it on your own site> Someone submits a request> Collect payment> Duplicate the template and transfer to the person who bought it.
I would transfer after you’ve received payment personally
