How to Add a Resource to Your Store (Video Walkthrough)

Preparing your first resource takes about ten minutes. If Classroom Ready review applies, it goes live after that review clears. Start with the file you already made, then give buyers enough information to understand what it is. You do not need to design your whole store first.

How to add a Resource

1. Upload the real file

From Resources, choose Add a Resource. Classmade accepts PDF, ZIP, slides, documents, spreadsheets, and images, up to 100 MB. Your draft saves privately while you finish the listing.

2. Make the listing clear

Add a useful title and description, then set the grade, subject and price. Tell another teacher what they will receive and how it helps.

3. Show what buyers are getting

Add a real cover and useful preview evidence when you have it. Classmade does not invent a replacement cover or pretend there is classroom evidence you did not provide.

4. Confirm money details for a paid Resource

Paid selling needs a confirmed store currency and a ready Stripe Connect account. Free Resources do not require paid checkout.

5. Publish

Publishing submits the Resource to the current availability rules. When Classroom Ready review applies, the Resource becomes public only after the required security and classroom review clears. Classmade does not promise that every upload is instantly public.

After it is live

• Delivery is automatic. After an authorized checkout, Classmade handles secure download delivery.
• You get a direct Resource link. Share the exact listing anywhere your audience already follows you.
• Growth tells you what to do next. Use the next-move recommendation to decide whether to improve the listing, share it, make a Lead Magnet, bundle Resources or fix checkout.

On Free, classmade keeps 15% of each sale. On Pro, classmade takes 0% of each sale. Stripe processing still applies according to the payment route.

Frequently asked questions

Does my Resource go live instantly?

Not necessarily. Your draft is saved immediately, but public availability follows the current review and commerce rules.

How do buyers get the file?

Classmade verifies the checkout or authorized free-delivery request, then provides the file through secure delivery.

Can I edit a Resource later?

Yes. Listing changes stay seller-controlled. Changes that cross the Classroom Ready approval boundary may need to clear review before replacing the live approved version.
