I think it is important to mention that not all fonts and elements can be used for re-saleable products and how to check this for each Canva element.
Thank you.
you're correct. fortunately all the fonts are usable but not all the elements, you have to make sure you use free elements so they are available to free canva users
How do we know what is able to be re sold?
Thanks for watching! (: Let me know any questions below
Thank you Sandra. This video was very helpful. ❤
Thank you so much for this helpful video!! ❤❤❤
I've seen this asked several times in the comments, and I just watched another tutorial (Awakened Entrepeneur) which answers the question about whether your customer will be able to use your Pro elements without starting a trial subscription or actually purchasing one. The answer is no, they will not. So make sure you do not use any of the Pro elements (the ones with the little crown on the bottom right-hand corner) because it won't work for them.
This is great! I have been thinking about adding editable signs back into to my shop. I used to customize each and every sign (first day of school, etc.) years ago and I had to stop offering those because it was too time consuming! This is a much better option! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching (: Ah yess, I used to do custom baby signs and things like that when I first started and I just needed to find some other way to allow the customers to do it themselves. I personally prefer Corjl over Canva but it has a monthly fee.
Hi , if you want to customize the sing for the customer, when you are listing you don’t have to upload the file ?
@@marelysburnes6051 Just make sure it is clear in the listing that you will be editing the file for them. I would upload a statement that explains the digital file process and that you will edit and send after purchase.
Whooohooo let's the passive income begin !!! 🤙, thank you !!!
Thanks so much for this!
Thanks for the video, but I wish you would have showed the process of uploading to esty. I still am not sure on what you mean by uploading a document with instructions that they see
Hi there! I've personally gotten his question a lot so I think I'm going to create a tutorial of it on my channel but I will try to explain it as best I can here. After you open your shop, go to "dashboard". Then go to "add listing" on the top right. This is where you add in your photos, titles, tags, etc. Scroll down and you can select "physical" or "digital" products. Of course go to "digital". Then scroll all the way down and it allows you to upload the files that your customer will receive after they purchase your listing. I hope that makes sense!
@@SandraDi So does selecting ‘Digital’ make all your documents editable, (even PDF)? ... I saw a tutorial, to make documents editable and she did something in google docs. ... very confusing to beginners lol x
@@lee-lee83 juz go to Google doc and wander like me 😂
Yes, but how you list the link so the costumers can edit it, seems like they only let you upload pdf or photo
@@SandraDi hi were you able to do a video on this tutorial. Seems like the most difficult and confusing thing ever. I don’t understand how the customer will get the clickable link instantly. Please do a tutorial.
Great video! Thank you for sharing. I wanted to ask if Canva has a way to classify the graphic elements they can include or I it will show all the assets uploaded? For example, If I design a drinks menu with customizable drink drawings, will the florals from other designs show up in the list of elements to add? Thanks!
Good info. Thx.
Thank you Thank you Thank you! 💯
Amazing ❤❤
Attach pdf or word on how to use the file how to edit the file and clickable link for them to paste and access file to edit.
Can you show us an example on what the word document would look like with all information.
This is a great video and it helped me so much, thank you lots!! I have a question. In most of my designs I am using the one month free version of Canva Pro, do I need one year subscription to sell my products on Etsy? Thank you!!!
Hey. Thanks for the video. The only thing that annoys me about canva is that the files are not 300dpi when finished, they are web size. How do you get around this??
Hey Sandra, I'm the founder/ceo of a SAAS in the Etsy space. What's the best way to get in touch regarding sponsoring videos, etc?
This was a great video, but sending a shareable link with a free Canva account will send the same file to every customer. And if ever a customer deletes or changes anything, it will be changed for the next customer and so on...I read online that you'll need a Canva Pro account to send editable "templates" of the file. That's how each customer gets their own copy without changing your copy or other customer's copies.
I saw a lot of questions for this.
I'm glad so many people brought this up in the comments because it never occurred to me that customers would all get the same file.
Great vid! But will they each get their own copy or would they all edit the same file?
Great information thank you.😊
I have used Canva a lot and know where the lock button is, but when someone goes to edit the file, they can just "unlock" the clipart and move it wherever they want. How do you recommend solving this? Also, how would you control people editing at the same time?
So what about the licences for elements and cliparts from Canva?
How do we get a commercial license to use the clip art?
How do you go step by step to get a license and things like that?
Hey... thanks for sharing this video..👍🙏
Thank you for watching (:
I’m having issues with printing from Canva not going all the way to the edge of the paper. How have you fixed this?
Hello Sandra. I have a question. I sell editable templates (invitations 5x7) made in Canva, but I don't know how to set up the template in order to save pages having 2 5x7 desings in one A4 page How can I do this in Canva?
Also what do you think is better to sell invitation templates or edit the templates for the client?
Thank you so much!
Have you made a video about commercial license??? I thought if you buy clip art that you can use it for your use including selling cards
I put the link from the copy bit but gives me no way of editing the file
Do you happen to know where I might find a font that looks like animal print? I tried to attach a pic but was unable. I would appreciate your help.
How do you get the license for the clip art? Is that necessary to make editable designs?
I got lost where you said what to do with the link so that it’s editable.
The 8 by 10 card so If we sold it to a customer three would end up printing one page at a time how do we create example 4 per a4 sheet and provide that so at least they can print 4 per a4 sheet
does this work with making resume templates to sell on etsy?
Thank you
Hello, I’m curious…How do you prevent people from sharing your link with others that have not paid for it?
Can I save it as a PDF then make it editable and sell it?
If creating editable templates (i.e. invitations) to sell on Etsy, is it legal to utilize the fonts provided in Canva? Just fonts not images.
Can any customer access to Canva pro if we have design in Canva pro for customer please guide me thanks
Hello, this was very helpful! Thank you so much. At 12:47 you open the link where it states they are invited to edit ...my links don't give that page. it only goes straight to the original file. What could I be missing?
You are not missing anything it’s because it’s your account and you’re logged into your sign it if you sign out of your account and open it on a different device then you’ll see the screen
Hi Sandra, what were the other platforms you use to sell digi prods and why?
Will the editable file change everytime someone buys?
I mean how are they getting mine and not one that has been changed?
Your video was so helpful. But how is your canva link once shared showing up as “you’re invited to edit by etc”? My link I copied just goes right into the canva document. I like that landing page so much better.
I copied the link to a word document. How do I place the picture of my design along with the link so that my Etsy customers can see what they are buying? Thank you.
How easy was it for you to get a commercial license? I'm sure the requirements are different for each state, but one requirement from my state is to show that I've made $10,000 within the past year but I just graduated college so I haven't made that much. I would like to start making passive income like this video provides, but am unsure how to continue. Please help!
How do you protect an editable file
Thanks for sharing! Will the customer be able to save the clip art to make something of their own or move it around? Would a good way to prevent that be to download a blank copy of the background with the clip art and then upload that so it’s a flat background, or would the resolution be too low?
Thanks!
Thank you for watching. They do have an option in Canva to lock specific parts of the document such as the clipart. Or you could try downloading it and using it as a background they can't change. I would check or the resolution before reuploading to make sure everything remained high quality. My video about "blurry canva downloads" goes into how to do that (:
Sandra Eide Thanks!?😁
where and how do you get a commercial license? that's the only thing i think i don't know how to do at this point.
If you save it as a PDF how can they edit it?
Hello Sandra, you mentioned at the end of your video that you sometimes go back to Canva, what other software or sites do you use for this editable templates?
She has another video called “how to sell digital products on Etsy using corjl.” After watching that video I see why she switched because Corjl allows you to lock elements like graphics so the customer can only edit the text, BUT it’s a monthly paid program and canva is free
Kittl
When customer edit the design the design will change others too who got the link. In this case what to do
Hi I’m wondering if you could tell me how the whole commercial licensing thing goes for clip art because I’m really trying to start selling and I’m not sure how to get the license for the clipart
Hello! I just made a video on this topic to explain commercial licenses. Take a look (: ruclips.net/video/QVDGrqokVb0/видео.html
The verbiage about getting a commercial license is rather vague. What I’m getting is that we can create our own. But not use their templates for commercial use. is that correct?
Gosh this was 3 years ago lol. But i wonder what people do for files that are too big to upload to Etsy? Particularly those large 18x24" files
the music made me subscribe,,
What Instructions should I have to give in pdf?
Thanks for the video! So is the customer going to do the edits in Canva with the link? Isn't there a customizable box on Etsy to make the changes?
Yes. You can do that if you want to edit them yourself. (:
Cool video.
So wouldn’t they have to make a canva account In that case? So I’m basically jus giving them a link n they do the rest?
Hi! This video is very helpful. I was just wondering, if I made the template using a Pro account and used elements and fonts that are accessible for Pro only, would those who gets the link that are using a Free account still be able use these elements and fonts on their copy?
I'd also like to know how that works. I'd assume they wouldn't be able to use anything Pro, which stinks for font reasons. But I wonder if Pro elements work when it's "locked", since the buyer can't really do anything with it anyways.
I am interested in hearing @Sandra Eide take on this as well. I just sold a template using pro elements and when they tried to download, Canva said they had to pay for the premium elements I used.
Hey! I found the answers to your questions! ruclips.net/video/qAPZj6HZNHc/видео.html
What if you used Paid fonts and Clip-arts, can customer still edit the file with free account?
@@ema8909 yes you can
Great Video Sandra, but after someone buys it how can they change the name and the date;
Think of canva like a word document. If you email someone a word document they can edit it if they have Word. Same thing here. This is why the customer needs to create a canva account. This is also why she saves 2 copies. Her original copy and copy that clients can edit
Hello! Thanks so much for the tutorial! I do have a question though. 😅 Let's say I do sell a lot of my templates to many customers. The link they get that able them to edit the file in Canva is the same. How can I make sure it will not effect the file and once one customer edited it, the other one won't"mess up" his/her editing? I hope it make sense...🙈 Thank you in advance!
Did you figure this answer out? I have the same question. Lol
simply create dublicate files and then give them link. and if you get many customers, join corjl... it helps, search ,free but it's paid
Hi! Thank you for the video, very helpful! I have a question though... Is there any way for me to "lock" certain elements of the templates so the customer doesn't change it? I imagine they can very easily mess around with the actual placement of things... So do I have any control over what can and cannot be edited? Thanks!
Yes, there is a lock icon at the top and you can lock individual elements. (:
Where is the lock icon?
@@phylliskimani7626 each element that you click on should have a lock icon. it's next to the trash can at 4:55 in the upper right for example
How does this work if multiple people download this file? Will they just be editing over eachothers work?
I want to get started making my own digital art and sell in Etsy. Where do I get the commercial license you mentioned?
I have the same question, so besides buying a font or clipart, I have to have a commercial license? this is my first time hearing this, can you please explain to us in more detail? it will be greatly appreciated 🙂
So..the customer can edit this only on canva??
Awesome tutorial. Just what I have been 👀ing for.
Can the customer edit the flower designs as well? Or is this editing feature just for text?
You should set it up to where ONLY the text is edited unless you make the clip art yourself. All of the licenses I've seen would not allow the customer to manipulate the clip art. Hoping for an updated version of this video because there are much easier ways to do this - use Canva PRO and deliver as a template instead of edit. And as far as flattening the rest of the design, save the whole thing without text, then upload it as a PNG and create a new image with that PNG plus text, and they will be able to edit the text but not the clip art.
@@passiveincomepathways I have a free account and there is a template option now instead of just the edit option you mentioned
Questions:
What other programs do you use to create editable files? Is canva the easiest for customers?
What happens if a customer edits the file, will the next customer see the previous customer's work/changed design? Is there a way to automatically send out a fresh link to each customer?
I prefer to use Corjl which I have a video tutorial on as well although there is a monthly fee. It makes it super easy for the customer to get the files and edit themselves with no extra confusion about the editable file. Basically you wouldn't send a new file to the customer, you can use the same edit file, however if they accidentally save it as the original file instead of just downloading and printing then it might affect the original edit file. Thats why I suggest creating a duplicate just in case someone saves through to the edited file. What you will want to do is explain in your customer info sheet that they can save a copy before editing the file if they plan on keeping the file in therir saved folders. I hope that helps. (:
@@SandraEide thanks so much.... you have so much faith in the customer....lol
I will check out the video
Thanks for the info! Quick question- is the editable link the same for everyone who downloads it? I'm wondering if everyone is editing their information from the one editable link and it will continually be changed and also reveal customer's information?
I have this exact question but can't seem to find an answer to it :(
Yes
I am too
Same!! I can’t find an answer!
Hello Sandra, I would like to know , for you design what program, Photoshop? or what?
For this I used Canva. But I also really like Photoshop. (:
@@SandraEide for to sell in Etsy, You utilise Photoshop?
How can we get this flower art...I used vector flower png. It's not clear after the apply....please can you give a link or some detail about water colour flower art ..where can we get in internet.
Hi there! Check out Creative Market. That's where I purchase commercial licenses for watercolor floral packages. Hope that helps!
So, when someone buy the editable on Etsy, they can modify and use it whenever? How to avoid someone just steel the design?
Hi Sandra! :)
I have a question: when my customers edited the design, it stays like that fot the next customer as well, also if they deleted anything.
Do you maybe know how to fix this? Thanks a lot, I really enjoy your videos! ♥
make a copy of your design and send the copy to the customer instead of the original :)
Wont you need to check the ‘copy’ file if someone already messed it up?
Have the customer make a copy of the original and then delete the original. They can then edit their own design without affecting your original.
Hi Sandra
I want to learn these things..
Hw to start......
Hello! Thanks for watching. The best way to start is to start creating! Try creating something in Canva and see what you come up with (:
hi can someone help me I am trying to made my daugther party invitations but I don't know how to made the invitations to print the size I made them (5x7) am using 8.5x11 paper and is printing as big as the paper 😔
So if the customer edits the doc, wont the next customer see all the edits from the previous customer?
Should i add the link in etsy description
Thanks for the tutorial! So if you have a Canva Pro account, do you have the commercial license to use Pro graphics/clip art and images? It's difficult to find a decisive yes or no in the places I've looked.
Thank you for your comment. I also do not know the exact answer for this. It is under my understanding that Pro accounts have commercial licenses, however, license specifics vary and for an accurate answer I would suggest contacting Canva support and seeing if they can clarify. (: I hope that helps
@@SandraEide Great video, thank you Sandra. have you seen this link on licensing? support.canva.com/legal/terms-of-use/selling-canva-templates/
@@bobsilber Great info! Thanks
If you make something with the Pro account to sell on Etsy, if the customer does NOT have a pro account when they go to edit there will be a watermark on any Pro Element you use.
If you send an editable link what happens when the next person uses the link to edit for their needs does it show the prior person’s info?
Hi! In the directions for use you would tell the customer to make a copy of the editable link and that would save as a private file to their own library. The main editable link is just the original source file and would remain unchanged.
I really enjoy your videos!! I've created an invitation in canva that I want to be ale to sell on etsy. I am struggling with getting a workable link to download onto etsy. I'm trying to follow your video but nothing I am doing is working. I've gotten as far as getting the link on etsy but its not editable. I seem to be missing some steps. Do you have other more detailed tutorials???
I am too. :(
I think what you do is paste the link into a word processing file, then export that file as a PDF. You then upload the PDF file to your Etsy listing. The customer downloads the PDF file after they’ve purchased. They can then click on the link to your Canva template as links in PDFs are clickable. Hope this helps.
So your customers need to have canva to edit?
Hi Sandra, great video and very helpful. Just wanna ask, so the customer needs to have a canva account in order to edit the file?
Yup they do 😊
Yes they do need a canva account but its free for them to sign up (:
Thank you for answering. Really appreciate it 🙂
very good :)
Thank you!
do you have a video showing you how to actually upload the file to etsy? I'm trying to create editable templates, but I'm lost on the last bit at the end about creating the pdf with the link and how to list it. could you show that process of creating the instructions for the customer and listing it to etsy.
Hi Ashley, did you ever figure it out, I am stuck at the same point, not understanding how to create the PDF as every time that I hit share and copy the link I get the same Esty page that I am on. I would applicate anyone's help on this. Thx Wanda
@@wandayoung5904 I kept trying to find videos that explain it, but all of them leave a lot of things out, and I am very much a hands on, step by step, visual learner. so none of the videos really helped. so in the end i just decided to make all of my editable products as made to order on etsy . especially since they have the new made to order feature for digital products.
May I ask a question? Does customers bothers about accessing on canva using their emails? It is a nice way to make products editable and more specific to their needs but the process itself looks a bit long: Copy the link, open canva, access canva. Did you have customers complain about it? I have this only concern about this process.
One artist I watched she uploads to the google drive, and then she uploads into Etsy the link in a pdf document which has information about the product and her business. Make sure with photos of art in Etsy there is a watermark otherwise people can right click and download, also upload a low resolution too.
I live in Illinois, how much is a commercial license? Is the license for selling online?
A commercial license is when you pay the owner of something (in this case the creator of the artwork) to use their product. A commercial license allows you to use their artwork in your products which you then sell to other people. So a commercial license is different than a user license where you can just use the artwork for your own personal use (you can’t use it to sell to others).
Every artist or creator can charge whatever they want to license their art so the cost of getting a commercial license will depend on what the artist who created it wants to sell it for. And they may put limitations on what you can use it for, basically you just need to read the licensing agreement before signing to see if they restrict you from using it for online products or something else.
An example would be a sports team logo, let’s use the Patriots for football. You can’t sell mugs on Etsy with the Patriots logo. The Patriots own that graphic & you would be violating the law. You would need to get a commercial license (aka pay them for permission to use the logo on products). A license for a pro football team logo is obviously going to be more expensive than most artists selling their digital artwork.
i got also lost on the end , what other people have, escpecially for newbies .
So when you are about to list your editable item to Etsy do you label the item as a finished product or a supply or tool to make things? This has me stumped.
I list it as a finished product, and then you can put "made to order" or just put the year the original design was made. And the biggest thing to include is that the product will be editable in the description and its helpful to add a picture saying it's a customizable/editable product in the listing photos.
One more question. We need to create a new link every time we make a posting on Etsy?
I had the same question
they also need a Canva account to edit. I would be annoyed if I purchased a product and then having to sign up for a free account just to edit. I think it's troublesome for the buyers.
@@kellyt8836 I agree but this is where customer education comes in. Your listing should explain it before they purchase. I’d compare it to word or excel. Customers who buy digital products that are word or excel files need to actually have those programs to edit the documents they bought.
This is the trade off for it being a passive income stream. She could make the edits herself and send them to the customer but that would take more of her time & the customer only gets one product. But by making it editable it becomes passive income and the customer has a template they can reuse many times. You could also charge more (if you want) since the customer can use that template for life essentially
Are there ever issues with people seeing that they could’ve just done it themselves when it takes them to the actual canva site?
Question tho, if you upload this shareable link to a PDF instruction for people who purchase on Etsy. Will it be a unique link for each person who clicks it? Because if you sell if to multiple people and they all begin to edit the document it won't be the original template and it will continue to change?
I think that’s why she saves the original for her and makes a copy for clients to edit. I definitely see potential issues if clients start moving around the graphics or if 2 people happen to login at the same time to try and edit it
I have the same question 🙋♀️
This would have been a great video if you had went through the last steps. A person will still be lost at the end.
I'm really down at the moment trying the premium Canva design and I'm selling it on Adobe and the original designer is humiliated, because I upgraded the flower image with my background to be an invitation background, he just made me a thief and defamed my reputation as a thief by inviting lots of people to bully me . Is Canva's fault with its own design being sold on Adobe?
If you sent them the link to your template, would they be editing the original design? 🤔 What happens if you want to sell it to a different customer? Would you use the same link?
Nice video BTW!
Hello thanks for watching! You can use the same edit file. But explain to the customers to create a copy or duplicate before editing and saving if they do want to save the file in their folders. That's why I always suggest to save yourself a copy of the file as well just in case anything gets edited and saved through to the original by mistake. I hope that helps. (:
Surely once the first customer make changes and saves it then the next customer will get the file that they created, not the original?
No Sue x the customer always get the file the seller sends. What the buyer does with that file then is changed, saved etc on the edited piece.
This happened to me, the link I have created shows the other persons edited design. How do I fix this?
Alright I figured it out by myself. You need to select the "Share a link to use as a template" which this requires a pro account. This way the next customer wont be able to see the others design and your original design stays the same.
@@melissasli Brilliant! thanks for this!
@@SueMoseley This is a real issue I am glad to help!
I don’t like the fact that they have to turn around and sign up for Canva. This would discourage them from buying future designs from your shop, since they can play around with templates in Canva.
Some people don't like Canva, that's totally okay! Use what you like! (:
It's taking so long but thank you
Helloo.Can you send some floral photos(flowers) that you used in these products 🙂
Hey! I made some trial and error and came to find out that once i send someone a copy of a design and he sign into Canva, he has access to ALL of my designs. Is there a way to avoid that? Somehow give him/her access only to a specific design? Pls help.. tnx
Hi! Ahh I'm so sorry that happened. It will only allow the person to edit the one design if you copy the link to share directly from that specific design. If you are having issues where they are accessing all of your files it could be due to accidentally sharing the folder link. I hope that helps. Best of luck!
@@SandraEide so i tried that but still he couldn't edit it. Do u have any idea why?
@@anatlevy8485 Hmm. That is strange. You should contact canva support. I have never had that issue.
I’m having the same issue. The link takes them into my canva account and they have access to everything. I also don’t understand how you add this document with instructions and link. I’m losing my mind trying to figure out how to get my invitations on Etsy!!!
