With Tentary, you can easily sell a link or access to products or services. In this article, we’ll show you how it’s done.
If your product, for example, resides on another server or consists of a link to a Zoom call, a Facebook group, or something similar, this product type is the right choice.
Create a Product
To create a new product, navigate to the Products page. Then click on + New Product. A pop-up will appear where you can select the product type Link / Access. This product type is fixed and cannot be changed later.
Content
Sales Page
At the top of the page, you can give your product a title, write a description, upload product images, or add a YouTube video.
Title
Choose a suitable name for your link or access product that clearly conveys to your customers what the product or service is about. A precise and appealing description increases the likelihood of your product being purchased.

In the product description, you can format your text for a customized look. The following options are available:
- Various paragraph formats (paragraph, quote, headings 1–4)
- Text styling (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough)
- Text and background color palettes
- Alignment options (left, center, right, justified)
Additionally, the following features are available:
- Adding links to other websites
- Embedding images
Note: The description for uploaded images serves as the alt text. If no description is provided, the file name will be used as the alt text. - Using a horizontal line to separate content
- Viewing and editing the HTML code
- Removing applied formatting
- Fullscreen mode/normal view
Product Images
First impressions are often visual, even for products sold online. Take some time to create attractive and relevant images for your product. Products with images generally sell much better than those without.
To upload images, you can either drag and drop them into the Product Images box or click the Upload Images button.
Note: The supported image formats are JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF.
In the latter case, the menu of your computer or smartphone will open to select images for upload. Select one or more images and confirm the upload. You can put the uploaded images in your desired order by holding and dragging them.
Recommendation: If you’re looking for free images to use and edit for your product, we recommend Unsplash and Pixabay.
You can also add a YouTube video. Click the corresponding option, paste the YouTube link, and confirm by clicking Add.
Price
In this section, you can set the price for your product and choose which payment options to offer your customers.
One-Time Payment & Subscription
Choose whether your product requires a one-time payment or a recurring subscription payment.
Price & Discount Price
You can offer your products for free or at a minimum price of €1.
Enter your desired price, which can include up to two decimal places (e.g., €9.99). Price formatting will be verified and corrected if necessary upon saving.
Keep in mind that price is a crucial factor in the success of your product. Sellers often price their products too low initially. Experimenting with pricing is recommended when starting out.
Use the Discount Price field to indicate a reduced price.
Note: The discount price must be lower than the current price for it to be displayed.
