How to use this kit
- Download the ZIP from Gumroad and extract it into a launch folder for your digital product.
- Copy the product manifest template and fill in product name, price, buyer, ZIP filename, limitations, support policy, and public URLs.
- Run the local validator against your product folder before publishing.
- Use the launch, listing, ZIP QA, smoke-test, and release-evidence checklists before clicking Publish.
- After publishing, run the public smoke checks and save the launch evidence report.
Best first use: validate one existing ZIP product and fix every FAIL before changing your listing.
