Marketplace Buyer & Seller Workflow
How discovery, purchases, downloads, remixing, and post-publish edits work across the Icora marketplace.

Marketplace Support
The Icora marketplace supports both simple purchases and longer remix chains. Understanding that workflow helps sellers decide how open their packs should be and helps buyers know what they can do after checkout.
Buyer Flow
- Browse and filter: Buyers discover packs by category, style, search, and listing details.
- Purchase or download: Paid listings consume credits. Free listings still count as downloads but do not generate paid royalties.
- Add to inventory: Purchased items become part of the buyer's accessible library.
- Download and edit: Buyers can export the source assets and continue refining them in Studio.
Seller Flow
- Publish from a project with title, thumbnail, price, category, style, and remix settings.
- Track downloads and sales as the listing accumulates usage.
- Edit the listing later to change title, description, price, style, or cover image.
- Unpublish if needed to archive the listing while keeping local project state manageable.
Remix Flow
If a listing allows remixing, buyers can create a derivative workspace item. Depending on the creator's policy, that remix may stay private or become eligible for republishing as a new marketplace listing.
| Setting | Effect on Buyer | Effect on Original Creator |
|---|---|---|
| No Remixing | Cannot create a derivative pack | Keeps full control of downstream use. |
| Free Remixing | Can remix without paying a fee | Encourages experimentation and spread. |
| Paid Remixing | Must pay the remix fee in credits | Creator earns direct remix-license revenue. |
| Republish Allowed | Can publish a derivative pack if other limits allow | Original creator can still benefit through lineage payouts. |
After Purchase
Purchased content is not just a static receipt. Buyers can pull assets into their working inventory, export them in supported formats, and in eligible cases use the pack as the base for remixes or follow-on commercial work.
Marketplace quality compounds over time. Clear remix rules and strong pack metadata make the marketplace easier to trust for both first-time buyers and repeat sellers.
