Canva Template Shop
Design once on Canva. Sell the same template ten thousand times.
What It Is
A Canva template shop sells customizable design templates — social media posts, pitch decks, resumes, planners, media kits — on Etsy, Gumroad, or your own website. Buyers get a shareable Canva link and customize with their own content.
How It Makes Money
Individual templates: $5–$25. Template bundles: $25–$97. A well-optimized Etsy shop with 50+ listings generates $1,000–$5,000/month. Top Canva template sellers generate $10,000–$30,000/month with large catalogs and strong SEO.
How to Get Started
- 1
Pick a niche: social media templates for coaches, pitch decks for startups, planners for teachers. Specific niches outsell general templates.
- 2
Create your first 10 templates in Canva Pro. Focus on clean, professional design with easily customizable elements.
- 3
List on Etsy first — it has the largest built-in buyer base. Write keyword-rich titles and include mockup images.
- 4
Use Everbee to research which template niches have high demand and low competition before you create.
- 5
Bundle related templates to increase average order value.
Tools & Platforms
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Making templates you think look nice vs. ones people are searching for.
Listing 5 templates and waiting. Aim for 50+ listings within your first 60 days.
Forgetting mockups. Show the template being used in a realistic context.
Underpricing bundles. A bundle of 10 related templates should be $35–$75, not $10.
