"Setting up digital storefronts requires platforms that eat 10% to 15% of your total revenue."
Building a store for a handful of assets is overkill. Pay-to-unlock pages act as micro-stores, making monetizing individual assets easy.

Storefront Bloat:
SaaS tools taking a huge percentage of your hard-earned creative income
Building a store for a handful of assets is overkill. Pay-to-unlock pages act as micro-stores, making monetizing individual assets easy.
Massive Revenue Deductions
Traditional marketplace and store builder platforms take double-digit percentages of your sales, leaving you with less profits.
Overwhelming Configurations
You shouldn't need a full online store just to sell a PDF template, a ZIP file, or a video course. Storefront setups are exhausting.
Create Your First Protected Link
Upload your deliverable, set a price, and share a secure link with your client. They preview the work, pay via Stripe, and unlock the final file — all in under 2 minutes.
- Free to start, no credit card required
- Passwords, expirations and watermarks included
- Built for freelancers, agencies and consultants
The Micro-Store Built for Digital Creators
Skip the storefront setup, catalog creation, and listing bloat. Turn any digital asset into a payment-gated link instantly.
Zero Storefront Bloat
Upload any file and generate an instant checkout link. Perfect for templates, code, audio, videos, or design packages.
Secure Digital Escrow
No download links are ever exposed to the web. Assets are decrypted on demand inside secure visitor sessions.
Stripe Connect Checkout
Direct-to-bank payments processed by Stripe. Leverage high-conversion checkout templates with Apple and Google Pay.
Dynamic Watermarks
Embed client identifiers into documents, files, and assets to deter piracy and track unauthorized sharing.
Comprehensive Access Logs
Keep track of exactly who opened your links, who completed the purchase, and how many times files were downloaded.
Custom Branding Integration
Remove all platform branding. Add your custom logo, colors, and site domain to match your personal brand.
Secure delivery in 3 steps
Upload your work, share a protected preview, and get paid before the final download is unlocked.
1. Upload your final file
Add the file you do not want to release before payment. Set your price and LinkVault secures it instantly.
2. Share a protected preview
Your client can review the work in a secure browser viewer without accessing the final download.
3. Get paid & Unlock
The client pays securely through Stripe. Once payment is confirmed, LinkVault automatically releases the final file.
Trusted by creators globally
"I recovered $400 from an unresponsive client thanks to LinkVault. When he saw he couldn't download the 3D model without paying, the invoice was settled in 5 minutes."
I use LinkVault in my work as a video creator, and it has solved a very common problem for me: sending previews to clients without risking them using the material before final payment. The platform allows sharing videos with a watermark for review, in a professional and secure way, which gives great peace of mind when working with creative content....
"Delivering source code was always a risk. Now I package everything in a ZIP, protect it with LinkVault, and the client pays to unlock it. Works perfectly."
"I was tired of delivering work and then begging to get paid."
As a freelancer, the scariest moment was always hitting 'send' on the final deliverables. The second that file leaves your inbox, you have zero leverage.
Clients download the work and go quiet. You're left chasing invoices for weeks, sometimes months. The power dynamic is broken.
I built LinkVault to fix this. Now your client gets a beautiful protected preview — but the original file stays locked until they pay via Stripe. No more ghosting. No more unpaid work.
Your client previews, pays, and unlocks — automatically
Upload your file, set a price, and share a protected link. Your client sees the work in a secure viewer and pays via Stripe to download the original.
