BUYERS

How buyers will get your product

Redemption is the final step of the checkout flow. It’s how buyers will receive your product. With self-listing, buyers will either:

REDEMPTION

Redemption setup (codes only)

Let’s talk code-based redemption. You can set up redemption one of two ways:

Static URL redemption

Buyers get a code (that you submitted) and follow a static URL to a landing page on your website where they can redeem it.

Dynamic URL redemption (advanced)
Buyers get a dynamic URL with a unique AppSumo code embedded in it, allowing the AppSumo code to be applied with one click.

Example: yourproduct.com/appsumo/XXXXXXX
