# 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](https://www.3dimli.com) does.

## What is 3DIMLI?

3DIMLI is a store builder platform for digital creators. You set up your own branded online store in minutes - no coding needed - and sell digital products directly to buyers.

- **8% on Flexible (only on finalized sales) or 0% on Fixed ($25/month, annual saves 17%)** (yes, really - you keep everything)
- **Direct payments** via PayPal, Stripe, or Razorpay - money goes straight to your account, we never touch it
- **Your own branded store** with custom logo, banner, and domain
- **8+ product types** - software, 3D models, graphics, audio, ebooks, video, AI models, link products

## 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:

```http
POST https://www.3dimli.com/api/software/v1/verify
Authorization: Bearer your_api_token_here
Content-Type: application/json

{
 "key": "buyer-license-key-here",
 "product_slug": "/my-tool"
}
```

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.

### NEW: Seller API Tokens

As of March 2026, the License Verification API now uses **authenticated access**. You generate your own API token from your seller dashboard and include it as a Bearer token:

```http
POST https://www.3dimli.com/api/software/v1/verify
Authorization: Bearer your_api_token_here
Content-Type: application/json

{
 "key": "buyer-license-key-here",
 "product_slug": "/my-tool"
}
```

To get your token:
1. Go to **Dashboard > Settings > API Tokens**
2. Click **Generate Token**
3. Copy it and store it securely - you can reveal, copy, or revoke tokens anytime

Your token only works for products YOU own - someone else's token cannot verify your product's licenses. Tokens are hashed with SHA-256 for security. [Full API docs](https://support.3dimli.com/docs/creating-products/software/license-verification-api) | [Integration guide](https://support.3dimli.com/docs/software-license-integration)

### 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.

**Selling games?** 3DIMLI also has a dedicated game license verification API at `/api/games/v1/verify` - same authentication, same flow.

### Bulk Upload with Desktop App

Got multiple products? Download the [3DIMLI Desktop App](https://www.3dimli.com) 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.
