How to Sell CANVA TEMPLATES | Step by Step Canva Tutorial for Beginners | How to use Canva

About this video

Kate Hayes explains what Canva templates are and walks through creating and selling one. A template is a design the buyer receives via a unique Canva link and can edit themselves. Examples she gives include party invitations, brochures, flyers, media kits, thank you cards, PDF workbooks, ebooks, checklists and cheat sheets. She says Canva Pro is needed to generate the editable template link, and warns that Canva’s policy does not allow reselling its pre-made templates — anything sold must be created from scratch, and sellers should use free elements (without the crown symbol) so buyers do not have to pay to remove watermarks on Pro elements. For the demo she researches business thank you cards on Etsy for inspiration and size — noting 5.5 by 4.25 inches as a popular size in the listings she checked — then builds her own card from scratch with a heading, brushstroke, a circle frame placeholder for a logo, and grouped social media icons. She then creates a separate PDF, pastes the template link into clickable text on it, downloads it as PDF Print, and uploads that PDF as the digital file on an Etsy listing so buyers get instant access and click through to ‘Use template’ in Canva.

Key takeaways

• You need Canva Pro to generate the shareable template link buyers use to edit their copy
• Do not resell Canva’s pre-made templates — create designs from scratch to sell
• Use free (non-crown) elements so buyers are not charged to remove Pro watermarks
• Research top Etsy listings in your niche for inspiration, style, and popular sizes, without copying
• Deliver the template by embedding its link in a PDF and uploading that PDF as the Etsy digital download
