How eStore works

Homepage - shows featured products, trending items (ranked by real sales), editor picks curated by the platform team, and top sellers.

Search - type in the search bar at the top to find products by title, tag, or keyword. Results can be filtered by category, price range, and rating.

Trending page (/trending) - products ranked by actual completed orders, showing the platform's podium (top 3), all trending products, and top sellers this period.

Categories - browse by category from the navigation. Each category shows sub-categories and live product counts.

Seller profiles (/@username) - view all products by a specific seller, their ratings, and total sales history. The old /seller/@username path still works as a redirect.

Free products - click through checkout and you receive access instantly with no payment required.

Paid products - choose your preferred gateway at checkout. All active gateways redirect you to a secure payment page outside eStore, then return you once payment is confirmed.

After purchase, your files appear in /buyer/downloads. Click Download to receive the file.

After receiving a completed order, you can send a voluntary tip to the seller as a thank-you. Tips are completely optional and go directly to the seller's wallet — they are separate from the purchase price.

To tip, open /buyer/downloads, find the order, and click the 💝 Tip button. A modal lets you choose a preset amount (৳50, ৳100, ৳200, ৳500) or enter a custom amount in BDT.

Register with the Seller role at signup, or switch your existing buyer account to a seller account from Settings. Once upgraded, your seller dashboard becomes available at /seller.

Before you can publish products or receive payouts you must complete KYC verification. You can explore the dashboard and upload products in draft mode while KYC is pending.

KYC (Know Your Customer) is required before your products go live or payouts are processed. It confirms your identity so the platform can comply with financial regulations and prevent fraud.

Go to Seller → Upload New Product to create a listing. Products start in Draft status and won't be visible to buyers until you publish them.

Your analytics dashboard (Seller → Analytics) provides a real-time view of your performance. Filter by time period, product, or payment gateway.

Every completed sale credits your wallet after the platform deducts its commission. The currency depends on the gateway the buyer used:

• • bKash, UddoktaPay, SSLCommerz → credits your BDT wallet
• • Stripe → credits your USD wallet
• • Tips → credited immediately (no hold period) to BDT or USD wallet depending on the tip gateway used

Pending balance - sale earnings (not tips) sit in pending for a release period (weekly or monthly, set by the platform). This allows time for refund or dispute resolution. After the release date passes the amount moves to your available balance automatically. Tips skip the hold period and are available immediately.

Requesting a payout - once you have available balance above the minimum threshold and an approved KYC, go to Seller → Payouts, add a payout method, and submit a request. Payout requests are per-currency: submit a USD request to withdraw your USD wallet, or a BDT request to withdraw your BDT wallet. Only one open request per currency is allowed at a time — you must wait for it to be processed before submitting another.

Payout flow - your request goes through three states: Pending (submitted, awaiting review) → Approved (admin approved, payment being sent) → Paid (transfer confirmed, you receive a push notification). If rejected, your balance is automatically restored and you receive a push notification with the reason.

Every seller account is automatically assigned a tier badge based on their lifetime performance. The badge appears on your public profile, in the seller sidebar, and next to your name on product pages.

Tier is evaluated against three criteria at once — total completed sales, all-time USD earnings, and average review rating. All three thresholds must be met to unlock the next tier.

Go to /affiliate or click Affiliate in your account sidebar. Click Join the Program — your unique referral code is generated instantly. There is no application or approval required.

Eligibility - any verified, non-banned account can join. Your account must be at least 24 hours old before referral earnings begin counting (anti-spam protection).

There are two ways to get your referral link — a general link and a per-product link. Both work the same way: when a visitor clicks and buys within 15 days, the commission is yours.

The Affiliatable Products section in your dashboard lists every product that has affiliate commissions enabled, sorted by sales count. Each card shows the product cover, price, and exact commission rate so you know what you'll earn before sharing. Use the search box to filter by name or category.

Commission is seller-funded. Each seller decides independently whether to enable affiliate promotion on a product and what commission rate to offer (1%–80%). If a seller enables affiliate without picking their own rate, the platform default of 10% applies. The rate is shown on the product page when affiliate is enabled.

The platform takes a fee from the affiliate's gross commission (currently 15%). The remainder is what you receive.

Once your cleared balance reaches $40.00, you can request a payout from /affiliate/payouts. Add a saved payout method (or reuse one you already added), then submit the request.

By default, affiliate promotion is off for all products. You must opt each product in individually. Open the product upload or edit page and scroll to the Allow Affiliate Promotion toggle.

Set your commission rate — this is the percentage of the sale price deducted from your earnings and paid out to the affiliate (minus the platform's affiliate fee). A higher rate gives affiliates more incentive to promote your product.

All product prices are set in USD. BDT gateways (bKash, UddoktaPay, SSLCommerz) convert the USD amount to BDT at checkout using the platform's current exchange rate (currently 1 USD = ৳121). Stripe charges directly in USD.

Seller wallets hold earnings in both BDT (from BDT gateway sales and BDT tips) and USD (from Stripe sales and USD tips). Payout requests are per-currency - submit a USD request to withdraw your USD wallet, or a BDT request to withdraw your BDT wallet. Only one open request per currency is allowed at a time.

eStore installs directly from your browser - no app store required. An Install App button appears automatically in the navigation menu when your browser detects the site can be installed. If you dismissed your browser's install prompt, this button is your second chance.

Push notifications deliver instant browser alerts for your key account events - even when eStore isn't open in a tab. They complement email notifications; both channels respect the same per-category toggles in your settings.

Alongside push, every dashboard - and the main site header once you're signed in - has a bell icon for announcements from the eStore team: maintenance windows, new features, policy changes, or anything sent directly to your account. This is separate from the transactional push alerts above; it's where platform-wide updates live.
