About Qxel
Who we are,
Who we are,
and why Qxel exists.
Qxel is a digital products marketplace and online storefront platform for people who create, build, teach, design, write, develop, research, or otherwise make something digital that can be shared or sold.
Qxel gives digital sellers a place to publish products, create a storefront, sell digital work, deliver products to customers, and make their products discoverable through a marketplace.
It was built around a simple idea:
Selling a digital product should not require a complicated business setup or a monthly subscription before you know whether your product will sell.
Who founded Qxel?
Hi, I'm
Hi, I'm
Sameem Puthukidi.
I'm the founder of Qxel.
Qxel started during my college years, when I was working on college projects and looking for practical ways to distribute and sell digital work such as source code and research-related resources.
I had already spent years building different startups and experienced multiple failures along the way. Those experiences shaped the way I thought about Qxel.
One problem kept coming back:
Why should someone have to spend significant money on a platform before they even know whether their digital product will sell?
For someone experimenting with a first product, a student selling a project resource, an educator publishing learning material, or a developer selling software, recurring costs can make the decision harder than it needs to be.
So I wanted to build something simpler.
Qxel started as a college project and gradually evolved into a broader platform for digital sellers.
Why was Qxel created?
Selling digital products
Selling digital products
should be accessible.
Many people already have things that could become useful digital products.
A student may have original study resources.
A teacher may have worksheets or teaching materials.
A developer may have source code or software.
A designer may have templates or design assets.
A writer may have an ebook or guide.
A business may have spreadsheets, documents, workflows, or other professional resources.
The problem is not always creating the product.
Sometimes the problem is everything that comes after it.
You need a product page.
You need a way to sell it.
You need digital delivery.
You need somewhere to organize your products.
You may need discovery.
And you need to consider the cost of running all of it.
Qxel was created to bring these pieces together in one place.
What is Qxel?
A marketplace and
A marketplace and
storefront platform.
Qxel is a digital products marketplace and online storefront platform.
People can use Qxel to:
- Create a digital storefront
- Publish digital products
- Sell digital downloads
- Sell educational resources
- Sell templates and design assets
- Sell software and source code
- Sell ebooks and guides
- Share professional resources
- Deliver purchased digital products
- Make products discoverable through a marketplace
Qxel is designed for more than one type of seller.
You do not have to identify as a "creator" to use Qxel.
You can be a student, teacher, developer, designer, writer, researcher, freelancer, business, professional, artist, educator, or simply someone who made something useful.
Why no monthly subscription?
Pay when
Pay when
you sell.
Qxel was built around the belief that the cost of starting should not become the first barrier to selling.
Instead of requiring a monthly subscription for the basic selling experience, Qxel charges a 6% platform fee when a sale is made.
That means you can create your storefront and list products without committing to a recurring monthly platform fee.
The model is intentionally simple:
You sell. Qxel takes 6% of the sale.
From a college project to a broader platform
Qxel started
Qxel started
with students.
The earliest version of Qxel was closely connected to college projects, source code, research papers, and the kinds of digital resources students were already creating.
But the problem was never limited to students.
Teachers create educational resources.
Developers create software.
Designers create reusable assets.
Writers create publications.
Businesses create professional resources.
Researchers create useful material.
Creators create digital products from their skills.
The underlying problem is the same:
People create digital value, and they need a practical way to distribute and sell it.
So Qxel evolved.
From a student platform to a platform for everyone
Beyond
Beyond
the classroom.
Qxel began with a strong focus on students and educational resources.
Today, the platform is designed for a much broader group of digital sellers.
Students and teachers remain part of the Qxel ecosystem, but they are not the boundary of it.
Qxel is built for:
Students
Teachers and educators
Developers
Designers and artists
Writers and publishers
Businesses
Freelancers
Researchers
Professionals
Creators
Other digital sellers
The goal is not to force everyone into one identity.
The goal is to give anyone with useful digital work a practical place to sell it.

What we believe
Principles that
Principles that
shape Qxel.
Creator empowerment
People should have practical ways to turn their skills, knowledge, and creative work into digital products.
Affordable access
The cost of starting should not unnecessarily prevent someone from testing a digital product idea.
Simplicity
Selling a digital product involves enough moving parts already. The platform should make the process easier rather than adding unnecessary complexity.
Transparency
Pricing, platform fees, and the basic selling model should be understandable.
Accessibility
Digital commerce should not be limited to people who already have large audiences, technical teams, or established businesses.
Continuous improvement
Qxel is still evolving. The platform is shaped by what sellers and buyers actually need, not just by what sounds impressive on a feature list.
Why Qxel is different
Several parts of
Several parts of
digital selling, together.
Storefront
Create a public place where your digital products can be presented and sold.
Marketplace
Make products available for discovery beyond your own audience.
Digital products
Sell different kinds of digital work, from educational resources and ebooks to software, templates, and creative assets.
Digital delivery

Free starting point
Create an account and start selling without a monthly platform subscription.
One platform for different sellers
Qxel is designed for students, educators, developers, designers, writers, businesses, professionals, creators, and other people selling digital work.
Do you need to be a creator to use Qxel?
No.
The word "creator" is useful, but it does not describe everyone who creates something worth selling.
You might think of yourself as:
A student
A teacher
A developer
A designer
A writer
A researcher
A freelancer
A business owner
An educator
A professional
An artist
You can still use Qxel.
You do not need a creator identity to sell digital products.
You just need something digital that you have the right to sell.
Do you need a large audience?
No.
You can create a Qxel storefront without already having a large social-media following or established online audience.
An existing audience can help with sales, but it is not a requirement for creating a storefront.
Qxel also provides marketplace, search, category, and discovery surfaces through which digital products can be found.
Do you need your own website?
No.
Qxel provides a public storefront for your digital products.
You can share your Qxel storefront directly with customers or use it alongside an existing website, blog, newsletter, social profile, or other online presence.
Your website does not have to become a second full-time job just because you decided to sell a PDF.
What does Qxel charge?
6% per
6% per
transaction.
Qxel does not require a monthly subscription for the basic selling experience.
The platform fee is 6% per transaction.
The fee applies when you make a sale rather than requiring a recurring monthly subscription simply to keep your storefront available.

Who is Qxel built by?
Founded by
Founded by
Sameem Puthukidi.
Qxel was founded by Sameem Puthukidi, an entrepreneur and developer who started the project during his college years.
The initial motivation came from trying to find a practical way to distribute and sell digital work without taking on unnecessary recurring costs.
Qxel has since grown beyond its original student-focused purpose into a broader digital products marketplace and storefront platform.
What does Qxel want to build?
A place where
A place where
digital work can move.
There are millions of people who know how to create something useful.
The product might be a piece of software. A course. A research resource. A template. An ebook. A collection of study materials. A design asset. A business resource. A tool. Or something that does not fit neatly into an existing category.
Qxel's goal is to make the path from idea → product → storefront → buyer simpler.
The platform is still evolving, and there is a lot left to build.
That is part of the point.
Our story is still being written
From a small problem
From a small problem
to a broader platform.
Qxel did not begin as a giant marketplace.
It began as a college project built around a small problem.
A founder trying to sell digital work.
A frustration with the cost of existing options.
A decision to build something simpler.
Then the idea expanded.
From students to educators.
From college projects to digital products.
From a small project to a marketplace and storefront platform.
And now, from creators to everyone who creates digital value.
There is still a long way to go.
But the original idea remains:
If you made something useful, there should be a simple way to put it in front of the people who need it.
Sell what you make.
Not what someone
Not what someone
tells you to make.
Qxel is designed around the work you already create.
Sell digital products such as templates, source code, software, courses, ebooks, study materials, research resources, design assets, business resources, tools, guides, creative assets, and other original digital products.
Your work does not need to fit into one narrow definition of a "creator product."
It just needs to be something you have the right to sell and that complies with Qxel's policies.
