Block/Unblock New Sales Temporarily

Hello,

How can I prevent customers to make new purchases of my project withouth making it "free"?

I want those who have purchased my project to have access to the files and prevent new customers to purchase it. Later, I want to change everything back to normal.

The reason about why I want to do this I have explained on this post.

Thanks in advance!

When editing your project, on the very bottom there is a tick box:

[ ] Restricted — Only owners & authorized people can view the page

If you tick that, users who have already purchased your project will still be able to view the page.

Hope that helps :)

Sure! But I also have the free browser version which I would like to keep available in the meanwhile for everyone.

Is there any way to hide only the files with  price tag?

Hmm, on each file you upload, there is a tick box below that reads:

[ ] Hide this file and prevent it from being downloaded

That way you can hide any files in the project. However if there are any files left available, the project will still show up us purchasable. That way paid files can be hidden, and the browser version should still be available.

I haven’t tried this before, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Hope it helps :)

My concern is if persons who have purchased it still will be able to download these files.

I want to block new purchases, not to limit those who have purchased my project to download it again if needed.

Sorry, I forgot about that. I can’t think of anything else at the moment, maybe someone else can add an answer.
