Sell Digital Products on Coderobotics

Buy Sell Code

If you build software, you already own inventory. That PHP script sitting in a client folder, the ASP.NET Core admin panel you wrote twice, the Python automation tool you use every week — those are digital products. They cost you nothing to duplicate and nothing to ship. The only question is where you sell them.

Coderobotics is a white-label source code marketplace where developers sell PHP scripts, ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core projects, C# and VB.NET applications, Python scripts, AI tools, SaaS and Micro SaaS platforms, website clones, plugins, and templates. You set the price. You keep 70% of every sale. You are never locked in.

This guide covers what you can sell, what you earn, how the process works, and what actually moves on a source code marketplace in 2026.

2026 changed the math for sellers

For a decade, the default answer to "where do I sell my source code" was CodeCanyon. That answer stopped being obvious this year.

From 1 July 2026, Envato moved every Market author — CodeCanyon, ThemeForest, and the rest — to a flat 50% author fee and scrapped its exclusive author program. Under the old tiered structure, long-standing exclusive authors could retain as much as 87.5% of an item's price. Overnight, sellers who had built entire businesses inside that system found their share cut roughly in half, with no change to their workload, their support burden, or their update schedule.

The other side of that change is worth noting: exclusivity requirements were removed at the same time. Authors who were previously tied to a single marketplace are now free to list the same product anywhere they want.

That combination — worse economics, no lock-in — is why a lot of developers spent the second half of 2026 diversifying instead of consolidating. If you are one of them, Coderobotics is built for exactly that move.

What you can sell on Coderobotics

Coderobotics is a code marketplace, not a general creator storefront. If you are selling printables, presets, or ebooks, a platform like Gumroad or Payhip fits better. If your digital product is software, this is the right room.

Accepted product types:

PHP scripts — pure PHP, Laravel, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Yii, Symfony, and other MVC frameworks
ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core projects — MVC, Razor Pages, Blazor, Entity Framework, SQL Server
C# and VB.NET applications — desktop, Windows Forms, WPF, and full business systems
Python scripts and projects — Django, Flask, FastAPI, automation tools, data utilities
AI tools and AI-powered applications — chatbots, generators, agents, API-driven products
SaaS and Micro SaaS platforms — multi-tenant, subscription-ready, self-hosted
Website clones and marketplace scripts — ready-made platforms buyers can rebrand and launch
WordPress plugins, themes, and templates
Mobile app source code

The catalog runs to 500+ ready-made projects across 48 categories, from ERP, CRM and POS systems to crypto platforms, job portals, and booking engines.

What you actually keep

Commission is where marketplaces separate. Here is the current landscape, verified as of late 2026:

Platform	Seller keeps	Exclusivity required	Notes
Coderobotics	70%	No	Flat rate, no tiers, no payout threshold
Codester	70%	No	Flat rate; monthly payouts
CodeCanyon (Envato)	50%	No (as of July 2026)	Buyer fee deducted before the split
SellAnyCode	80% (90% exclusive)	Optional	Higher rate for exclusive listings
Gumroad	~87% direct, 70% via Discover	No	10% + $0.50 direct, 30% on Discover sales, processing on top

A few things this table does not show but you should factor in.

CodeCanyon deducts a fixed buyer fee before the author split. The 50% is applied to what remains after that fee, not to the full price the customer paid. The effective share is lower than the headline.
Gumroad's rate depends on where the buyer came from. Sales you drive yourself carry the lower fee. Sales that come through Gumroad's own discovery engine are charged at 30%, and you have limited control over which bucket a given sale lands in. Card processing sits on top of the direct rate.
Coderobotics has no payout threshold. You do not need to accumulate a minimum balance before you can be paid. Commission transfers after the buyer confirms delivery.

How selling on Coderobotics works

The process is deliberately hands-off for sellers. You are not fighting an upload tool.

1. Sign up. Register using your Gmail account through the seller portal. No contracts, no application fee.

2. Get approved. The team reviews and approves your seller account manually before you list anything.

3. Submit your project. Send the project details, a live demo, screenshots, a video if you have one, the technical specification, and your price. That is the whole submission.

4. Coderobotics handles the upload. Unlike most marketplaces, you do not build the product page yourself. The team writes and publishes the listing. This exists because listing quality drives conversion, and inconsistent product pages hurt every seller on the platform.

5. Manage from your dashboard. Once live, you get access to track your projects, incoming buyer enquiries, and sales.

6. Deliver and get paid. Source code is not collected at listing time. You deliver directly to the buyer after a sale, and commission transfers once the buyer confirms.

That last point matters more than it sounds. Your code does not sit on a marketplace server waiting to be listed. You retain it until there is a paying customer.

What gets approved, and what does not

Every submission is reviewed manually. There is no automatic approval queue.

AI-assisted development is fine — most serious development in 2026 involves it. What gets rejected is different: projects that are mainly AI-generated with no real engineering behind them, thin wrappers around a single API call, duplicated listings, and anything that has not been tested end to end.

The reason is simple. A marketplace's reputation is set by its worst listing, not its best one. Buyers who get burned once do not come back, and they tell other buyers. Keeping the review bar high protects the sellers who are doing real work.

Practically, that means your submission should include a working live demo, complete documentation, and a clear feature list. Projects with all three clear review quickly.

Pricing your source code

The most common mistake developers make is underpricing. A complete ERP system priced at $49 signals "abandoned side project," not "bargain."

Some anchors that work:

Single-purpose scripts and tools — $19 to $79. URL shorteners, invoice generators, calculators, small utilities.
Full business applications — $99 to $299. CRM, POS, inventory, school management, booking platforms.
Enterprise systems and multi-module ERP — $299 to $999+. Multi-role, multi-module, production-grade.
SaaS and Micro SaaS platforms — $199 to $599. Multi-tenant architecture and subscription billing carry a premium because they save the buyer months.

You set your own price and can change it at any time. There is no exclusivity requirement, so you can list the same product on your own website and on other marketplaces simultaneously.

What sells right now

Based on current buyer demand across source code marketplaces, these categories move fastest:

SaaS and Micro SaaS source code. The strongest category in 2026. Buyers want a launchable business, not a component. Multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing, and an admin panel command real prices.
AI-powered applications. Chatbots, content generators, resume builders, document processors. The demand is genuine, but so is the rejection rate for shallow wrappers.
ASP.NET and .NET business systems. Structurally underserved. Most marketplaces are overwhelmingly PHP and WordPress, which leaves .NET buyers with far fewer options and far less competition for sellers.
Industry-specific management software. Clinic, pharmacy, construction, logistics, school, gym, salon. Narrow beats broad — a buyer searching for pharmacy ERP will pay more than a buyer browsing generic ERP.
Clone scripts. Consistent, durable demand. Marketplace clones, service marketplaces, classifieds, delivery platforms.

What buyers get, and why it helps you sell

The terms buyers get on Coderobotics are worth understanding, because they are your selling proposition too:

Unencrypted source code. Full, readable, modifiable. No ionCube, no obfuscation.
One-time price. No subscriptions, no recurring licence fees.
No domain restrictions. Deploy wherever.
White-label and resale rights. Buyers can rebrand and sell as their own product.
Direct seller contact. Buyers can reach you with questions before and after purchase.
Refunds for genuine reasons. Bugs, incomplete code, misrepresented functionality.

Buyers pay more for code they can actually own. Encrypted, licence-locked scripts are cheaper for a reason.

Frequently asked questions
