How to create updates available for earlier buyers?

Discussion started by runemarkstudio

Hi! I currently have a model package on CGTrader, and I created an update to it - I added several new models to the package. Is there a way I can create an update in a way that my buyers who purchased the package before the update can have access to the new models without a new purchase?

I suppose that buyers can access files forever after purchasing so they can download also updated items.
Question is if it is in your interest as a seller when the upadate is significant.
If you add other models to the collection it would be better if buyers had to pay some fee (for example 25% of model price) to access (significantly) updated files.

Hi zabotlama,
Thank you for your insight! I have this particular package available on other stores too, and there I don't charge extra for minor updates (namely, adding 1-5 models to a pack with 100+ models in it already), and when there is a major update or a package deal, buyers pay only the price difference if they own the older package. Here on CGTrader I'm not sure where can I find features like these... If there are none at the moment, I will consider creating a "pay what you want" model with different amount of models in each tier, and the tiers can be bought separately. But this still doesn't solve my problem if a buyer has one of the lower level tier and wishes to upgrade to the higher level tier? Or, should I create a smaller independent package and name it "XY Package Update 1.2" , similar to how games companies offer their DLCs?
