We've made some huge exciting changes to the site meaning that not only can you share sequences, you can also buy and sell sequences as well!
I know we all love a free sequence, and we really do appreciate all the time and hard work people put into them to share with the wider community. However we also see some amazing sequences on various social media groups that people are selling, only for that post to get lost after a certain amount of time. That means it only reaches a small group of potential customers.
That's why we have added a new 'Paid Sequence' section and also a 'Vendors Sequence' section to the site. Let me explain in more detail!
Paid Sequences
Once you have filled out the very short form and added your xLights Sequence - That's it! The entire sales process is fully automated. All sales are conducted through paypal and once the payment has been confirmed, it will wing it's way straight into your paypal account. The buyer will then have access to download the file. We also have sales stats for you and invoices that you can download for your own records.
Vendor Sequences
This is for members that have their own sites and manage their own sales and order deliveries. This is an even shorter form where you can showcase your work and members will be directed to your own site to purchase. By adding your sequence, it will showcase it to a lot more potential customers.
