The product matters, but the setup around it matters too. Before launch, check the basics so the first buyer can pay, download, and get help without confusion. ## Payment account Confirm that: - your chosen payment gateway is available for your country and business type. - your account is verified. - settlement rules are understood. - payment provider fees are clear. - refund rules are understood. - your payout bank or wallet details are correct. On 3DIMLI, buyers pay through the seller's connected payment provider. The provider handles processing, settlement, and payment rules. Provider availability and verification requirements depend on country, business type, product, and the provider's current policies. Confirm eligibility directly with the provider before announcing a launch. ## Identity and business details Make sure the information used across the store, payment account, bank account, and tax records is consistent. Prepare the documents the provider requests through its official verification flow. Do not send identity documents through email, chat, or a form unless the official provider flow explicitly requires that channel. Watch for lookalike domains and requests for passwords or one-time codes. If verification is pending, keep paid products unpublished or clearly unavailable. A published checkout that cannot settle payments is not a launch. ## Account security Before inviting buyers: - use a unique password for every account that supports passwords. - enable multi-factor authentication where available. - review active sessions and remove devices you do not recognise. - restrict administrator access to people who need it. - store backup codes securely and separately. - confirm that recovery email and phone details are current. Never share a payment-provider password with a contractor. Use official team or delegated-access features when available. ## Store profile Check: - store name. - logo. - banner. - seller bio. - support email. - social links. - store description. Buyers trust stores that look alive and reachable. Use a support address that someone checks. Send a test message from an unrelated account and confirm it reaches the right inbox without exposing a private personal address unnecessarily. ## Policies and buyer expectations Write plain-language terms for: - delivery timing and access. - licence and prohibited redistribution. - refunds and problem resolution. - subscription renewal or cancellation, if applicable. - booking rescheduling and no-shows, if applicable. - privacy and information collected for delivery or support. Policies should match the actual checkout and product. Do not promise "lifetime updates" unless you can define and maintain that commitment. ## Product page Each product should explain: - who it is for. - what is included. - file format. - license terms. - software requirements. - delivery method. - refund expectations. - support process. Simple pages usually convert better than vague pages. Add real previews, an update date, and a clear distinction between the product and any optional service. Check the title and description while signed out so you see what a buyer and search engine receive. ## Files and delivery Before launch: - upload the correct files. - check file names. - remove private working files. - add a readme when useful. - test downloads if possible. - include version notes for software. This avoids support problems later. ## Run a complete signed-out order test Use a test-capable payment setup where available and follow the real sequence: 1. open the public storefront on mobile and desktop. 2. find the product without an owner-only link. 3. read the price, licence, and refund information. 4. complete checkout. 5. inspect the receipt and transaction record. 6. download and extract the files on another device. 7. confirm the buyer library or access page behaves as described. 8. submit a support request and test the response route. Do not publish a real low-price order merely to test if the provider offers a safe test mode; use the provider's official testing workflow where available. ## Reconcile the first payout After the first legitimate sale, match the order total, taxes if applicable, processor and platform fees, refund adjustments, and amount deposited. Document the reconciliation method before volume increases. Investigate mismatches immediately. A payout arriving is not proof that the store's records, fees, and accounting treatment are correct. ## Launch gate Publish only when every critical item has an owner and evidence: - verified eligible payment account. - correct settlement destination. - secure administrator access. - complete public store and support identity. - tested product files and delivery. - accurate price, licence, and policies. - working signed-out checkout. - reconciliation and incident contact documented. Re-run the checklist after changing gateways, business details, domains, or product-delivery systems. ## Related 3DIMLI guides - [Digital product launch checklist](/posts/175-product-launch-checklist-digital-products-3dimli) - [Digital download delivery checklist](/posts/198-digital-download-delivery-checklist-3dimli) - [How payouts work](https://support.3dimli.com/getting-paid/how-payouts-work) - [Store setup](https://support.3dimli.com/SettingUpYourStore) ## FAQ **Why does account verification matter?** Verified payment and store details reduce launch problems and buyer confusion. **Does 3DIMLI hold seller payouts?** 3DIMLI uses a direct-to-seller payment model through the seller's connected payment provider. **Should I publish before payment setup is complete?** No. Complete payment setup first so buyers can pay successfully.
