Selling source code for apps, private Rubygems or Node modules can be tricky. You’ve got to build marketing pages, sell the product somehow, and sync the customer’s GitHub account to the repository. It’s doable, but it can be a pain to set up.
We use this approach for selling Jumpstart, our Ruby on Rails SaaS template and it works great. We’ve already spent the time building a tool to make selling GitHub repositories easy and we’ve always wanted to make it easy for other people to do the same.
So now you can sell your own Github repositories with SellRepo!
Check out this demo video to see how it works. SellRepo is a stock Ruby on Rails application you can buy and wire up to GitHub, a payment processor, and an email service. Once connected, you’re ready to start selling your GitHub repositories as products. How neat is that?
If you want to sell libraries, you can even use GitHub’s package repository functionality and customers can install your libraries using personal access tokens right from their package managers.
What can you sell with SellRepo? Here are some ideas:
SellRepo is a one-time purchase so you can deploy your own storefront and sell products without monthly fees. Other services want to charge 10% or a monthly subscription that can quickly eat away your profits. Try out new product ideas and see what sticks without fear of losing money.
SellRepo pays for itself after just a few sales, the rest is gravy baby!
When you deploy SellRepo to your favorite host, you’ll be presented with an onboarding wizard to get everything set up. Everything can be configured with environment variables so you don’t even need to touch the code.
Setting up payments, email, and file uploads are as simple as setting a few environment variables.
We’ve also made it easy to add images for sharing your products and storefront on social media. Plus, we’ve included SEO tags to help get your products indexed and draw more traffic to your storefront.
You can deploy SellRepo and use it without touching the code, but you can also completely customize it. Want to change the layout, design, theme, or add extra features? Go for it!
You’ll get full source code to SellRepo which is a standard Rails application. It’s been well organized and implemented from the GoRails team that also built Jumpstart, the most popular Ruby on Rails starter kit & SaaS template.
Since you get access to SellRepo’s source code, you’ll get lifetime access to updates that we release. When new versions of Ruby or Rails are released, you’ll get those updates in GitHub and can deploy those to your store front without any hassle.
Of course, we use SellRepo to sell SellRepo, so you’ll get access to the repository and full source code of the app. You can modify it, change the design, and add new features. It’s entirely up to you.
Launch your own storefront and sell products without monthly fees!
