Overview

<p>My product is an operating digital-products store and custom multi-vendor marketplace for XenForo themes and add-ons, built to solve two problems XenForo developers face every day:</p><ol> <li>No unified marketplace. XenForo (and Discourse) developers have no single store: each vendor sells from their own site, which fragments discovery, licensing and support. My platform's multi-seller marketplace is built: seller onboarding, seller dashboards, configurable commissions, wallets, payouts and refund clawbacks.</li> <li>Leaked code. Developers routinely find their products redistributed with no way to know which buyer leaked them. My platform gives every download a unique fingerprint, so a leaked copy can be traced to the exact buyer, whose license and access are then revoked. This has worked in production: real leakers were identified and blocked. Fingerprinting runs on an internal AI CLI subscription, not a per-request paid API, so costs do not grow with downloads.</li> </ol> <p><b>What's included:</b></p><ul> <li>Complete marketplace source code (Next.js, React, TypeScript, Hono, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker): over 550,000 lines of tracked source in the platform alone, plus separate theme and add-on codebases</li> <li>6 original XenForo styles and 2 add-ons, live and selling</li> <li>Licensing, download fingerprinting and 3-layer leak-tracing tools</li> <li>Domain, brand and documentation</li> <li>AI-ready handover: GitHub repositories with architecture notes, deployment procedures and AI-agent instruction files, so an AI coding assistant can continue development immediately</li> <li>2 months of technical support for the marketplace from the original developer</li> </ul> <p><b>Traction</b></p><p>Commercial sales began in March 2026, with $1,752 in revenue from 20 paid orders and 15 buyers. These are one-off product sales, not subscriptions. PayPal was unavailable for about two months, when USDT crypto was the only payment option; 49 checkouts worth $4,002 expired unpaid in that period.</p><p>Multi-seller status: third-party selling is built but disabled. Launching it requires a payment provider that supports marketplace payouts (Stripe required a UAE trade license). The seller payment and settlement lifecycle needs end-to-end testing before launch. The platform can be adapted to WordPress, Discourse or other digital products.</p><p>Built by the original developer with a team of developers over six months (about $9,000 in development costs, paid in full). The project now runs without payroll.</p><p>✅ $1,280 TTM revenue</p><p>✅ 1,752 customers</p><p>✅ Business model: One-time sales</p><p>✅ Built with PHP, Next.js, TypeScript</p>

Business Model

One-off sales of premium XenForo themes ($39-$79) and add-ons ($59-$79, with optional $15 renewals), plus paid upgrade and service packages ($99-$499). Built-in multi-seller commissions are ready to activate for third-party vendors.

Target Audience

XenForo forum owners buying themes and add-ons; after activating multi-seller, XenForo and Discourse developers who need one marketplace with leak protection.

Asking Price Reasoning

The price reflects the assets, not current revenue: about $9,000 in development cost (a 6-month team build at Egyptian/UAE rates), over 550,000 lines of source code, 6 XenForo styles and 2 add-ons already selling, a built multi-seller marketplace.

Reason for Selling

Launching the multi-seller marketplace needs a payment provider with marketplace payouts; Stripe required a UAE trade license (about AED 3,500 plus annual fees). The current owner works full-time in contracting and the original developer has moved on to the other project.

Growth Opportunity

Activate the built multi-seller marketplace and onboard existing XenForo developers who currently sell from their own sites; offer fingerprinting as a paid anti-leak feature; expand to Discourse and WordPress products; restore PayPal/Stripe checkout.

30 days free support from seller

Competitors

XenForo resource sites and individual vendor stores (ThemeHouse, PixelExit, DohTheme), and general marketplaces like CodeCanyon. None offers a XenForo-focused multi-vendor store with per-download leak tracing.

Tech Stack

PHP, Next.js, TypeScript, Docker, PostgreSQL.
