how to prepare your canva designs to
sell has to be one of the questions that
I get asked the most and I kid you not
within the past three days I've been
asked a nine times this question so I
know it's something that you want to
know and I wanted to create a video to
answer that question
hello my name is Yahtzee yeah welcome to
the channel before we start I will leave
a link in the description box for you to
download some free canva planner and
journal templates so let's get on with
the video so I'm going to show you
specifically how to upload your canva
creation in Etsy and Shopify and I have
Shopify light which is just a little
button that you see in my shop let me
show you real quick let me go to my shop
um I don't think it'll oh yeah it'll
show up here if you look at the right
corner because I have added a product
already to my shop it's on there but
let's say let's remove it let me close
that so you won't see anything but let's
say I go here with this planner
templates and I open this one learn more
and I go ahead and click here at the
cart and you see it appears right here
um and that's because I use a Shopify
button on my own site I don't have a
Shopify site this is my actual site so
let me show you first on Shopify and
then we'll move on to at sea and there
are really two ways let's say that what
you're selling is a PDF okay so I'm
gonna go back here I'm gonna give you an
example with this journal templates that
I have this sign and by the way this is
a free download in the free vault which
there's a link in the description box
for that so you can get these tempers
that I'm showing you right here
so I'm ready this is sign is ready and
I'm ready to sell it right so what I
would do is I go right here and you have
to decide are you gonna share the
template or are you going to share the
PDF and let's say I'm just selling the
PDF so I'm going to download as PDF
print I want all the pages and I'm going
to download actually let me okay
let me just do it that way again PDF
print all the pages download so I'm
going to download it and it'll save on
my computer and let me tell you real
quick what I did so I'm here in Shopify
lights and for you to be able to say
sell um
digital downloads and Shopify you will
need an app and I believe this one was
free I have this one that you see right
here digital downloads this is the name
of the app and I think it was free I
know in the past I paid ten dollars and
it's like a one-time $10 payment for an
app but I can't remember if it was this
one because it was a different account
but anyway you will need a nap in your
Shopify for digital downloads so when I
go to products right here I have two
products these two nevermind this one
this is a little trick that I can show
you in a different video but let's focus
on these two products which are the ones
that are right now in my Shopify store
so on here let me click on this one just
to show you so if you have that app that
allows you to sell digital downloads
when you are here at the top see more
actions you click on that and it says
add Digital attachment so on there is
where you would upload the PDF that
you're saved from camera right here so
that PDF by the way it's already
downloaded so I'm going to open it this
pity
that I just downloaded from canva is
what I would upload here so when someone
buys your listing they will get Shopify
will automatically send them an email
with that product so let me go back to
products let me click add product and on
this page there's a few things that you
need to do you're going to unclick a few
things I don't want to track the
quantity because it is a digital
download
I want to unclick this because it is not
a digital product so I have unclick the
few things and then I'm going to give it
a name trial product just because I'm
showing it to you I'm going to just do
that then here where's this media if
where you would add the listing picture
you look up a mock-up of your product or
something like that and once you're
ready price let's say it's $1 there you
go
and that's it I don't want to add
anything else then you save and after
you say when it gives you that option
see right here now you have that more
actions then you would go at digital
attachment and this is where you add
then that PDF that we just downloaded so
here finally upload file then you would
find it on your computer and mine is
somewhere here I believe is this one yep
open and it'll upload it on here
once it's and that it's it is uploaded
it's on there so now when someone buys
your product on Shopify shop if I light
depending on what you're using then they
will get this download okay so let's
move on to Etsy and it's kind of the
same thing let me go ahead and add a
listing
I click on add a listing and you have it
right here so you start scrolling down
and there is a space right here type
right here this is type of Pro that
you're selling I'm going to choose
digital because that's of course a PDF
is a digital product so when you scroll
all the way down you will have this
option to upload your digital file so
upload file find that PDF that you just
download it open okay so it's telling me
something about the file name just make
sure you name it something very simple
just letters but yeah that's how you do
it upload file so when someone buys your
listing then they would receive that
immediate download and that's this if
you are adding that PDF directly now if
you are like me and you are selling the
the template like actual canva templates
instead of a PDF there is something else
that you can do and I'm gonna show you
and to share a temple this is something
that you can do only in the paid canva
version so you would share a template
let's say you click here with a share
you will have three options edit uses a
template or deal so the way I share is
use as a template and then I would copy
the link now you cannot like let's say
you're here um Oh Shelby fight you
cannot just put a link there and people
can just click it and go same thing in
Etsy because Etsy clearly it's asking
you to upload something right now I will
show you a very easy way and this is
what I do if you have purchased from me
on Etsy you know exactly what it looks
like so I'm going to create a new design
and let me see you were us letter
document because this is what I want
so I'm going to share here Etsy demo
delivery this is a PDF there you go I
misspelled it this is a PDF that people
will download right and I'm going to add
[Music]
my logo just you know to let people know
hey this is me and I want to put it
right here put it in the center and I'm
just preparing really this PDF to look
pretty you don't have to you can just
put like a little square right here that
says I'm gonna add some text to that
heading I'm going to change the color to
white make it a little bit smaller
put it right here and I'm going to board
click click here it could be as simple
as that to be honest it could be as
simple as that and then what you would
do since I have already copied this link
to share us a template all I have to do
is like go here and I'm going to click
on this square that I just added
see right here with this link I'm gonna
click on that and I'm going to put that
link that I just copied and just to make
sure it works now I'm going to select
the text again I'm going to add this
again apply and if you want you can go
ahead and link this as well to go
somewhere else like your website or
something I'm not gonna do it right now
because I just I'm just showing you but
this page can be a simple or US
decorated as you want I'm gonna keep it
simple um just because I'm showing you
what to do so now that I have linked
here the template that I just sold
one right I will download as a PDF and
this is important
download as PDF print don't download us
anything else because then these won't
be clickable it will only be clickable
on a PDF so PDF print or it could be
like PDF standard really doesn't matter
download and then this PDF is what I
would go ahead and upload here so upload
file and it's Etsy demo where's my II
let's see demo there it is
that is the PDF open and now it would
upload onto Etsy and you would do the
same thing for Shopify you would just
upload the way I just showed you so when
someone buys your listing they will go
ahead and download this PDF let me
cancel and then it will open on their
computer and this is what they get just
that PDF so what they do really is just
click here they literally click there
and they are taken automatically to
canva to be able to save this which is
whether you sold them right so they
would click use template and start using
that template now if you have I forgot
to mention that before if you have the
free canva version there is a little
trick that I show you in a different
video and I will leave a link you can
either click on the card that appears
right now on the screen or on the
description box below I will make sure
to link that video because I showed you
in detail how to do that and how to
share your canva template if you are on
the free version it's a little bit
trickier but it can definitely be done
um that's it for this video I hope you
learned something if you still have
questions please do let me know I am
happy to create as many videos as you
need to be able to be successful
in your principal business so till next
one
bye-bye
