Software Solutions for Graphics and Vector Asset Sellers
Graphics are small files bought in large numbers: an icon set, a vector pack, a brush collection. Buyers want the right format, such as SVG, AI or PNG, and a licence that covers the product they are making. Sellers need format-aware listings and flexible ways to price.
Sell icons, vectors and illustrations by the asset, the pack or the download credit.
An icon set is bought by a developer who needs SVG, a designer who needs layered files and a marketer who wants PNG. The listing should say which of these the pack contains.
Because each asset is small and cheap, buyers often take many at once.
Artists selling packs
An illustrator sells themed packs and individual vectors from a personal shop.
Asset libraries with credits
A library sells download credits that buyers spend on single assets.
Studios licensing to product teams
A studio sells icon systems to software teams under team licences.
The workflow for graphics.
- 1
Preparing a pack
Assets are exported in each format and grouped into a pack with a preview sheet.
- 2
Listing formats
The listing states what the pack contains: SVG, AI, EPS or PNG, with sizes and colour variants.
- 3
Choosing how to pay
The buyer purchases the pack, a single asset or credits, and sees what the licence allows.
- 4
Downloading selected formats
The buyer downloads only the formats needed, from the library page.

Showing attribution rules
Where credit to the artist is required, the order shows the wording to use.
The challenges, and what they cost.
What is specific to this trade.
These are requirements we would confirm in discovery. They describe what the solution may need to handle. They are not features that already exist.
- Formats offered for each asset and whether editable files are included
- How pack, single and credit prices relate
- Licences by use and by number of team members
What we would build for graphics.
Chosen from the commerce capabilities this business needs, not a list of everything.
Who works in the system, and what each can do.
What it would connect to.
An integration is confirmed only after its API, access and scope are checked. A connection that updates on a schedule is described as scheduled, not real-time.
- Cloud storage able to hold many small files in several formats
- A payment gateway for small card and UPI amounts
- Email for receipts and licence notes
How the work runs, and what we need from you.

Start from the format table
We list every format of every asset first, since both listing and download depend on it.

Pack, single and credit prices are tried against example baskets before any buyer sees them.
What you receive.
- Format-aware listing structure
- Pack, single and credit pricing rules

How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Packs split across orders to avoid a pack price
- Support questions about formats
Selling at home and abroad.
Icon and illustration buyers abroad often ask for attribution rules and for use in products sold in their own country. Font and trademark rights differ by market, and your adviser sets what the licence says.
The wider requirements for digital downloads are on the Digital Downloads page.

Digital Downloads E-commerce & Secure Delivery Software
Configured implementation
Discovery selects the commerce platform for the shop, and a secure delivery and licence layer is added for your products. No existing GullySystem product sells downloads, so none is named.
Pack and single-asset licensing, format listings and download credits are options in the category catalogue and pricing, not a separate system.
Read about the softwareQuestions about graphics e-commerce.
Can the store convert a vector to another format?
No. Each format is prepared by the artist and listed. Conversion on request would be separate software.
Can buyers see which assets they have already downloaded?
Yes. The library page lists every asset and format downloaded, with its licence.
Does it handle fonts?
Fonts can be sold as assets, but font licences are particular. We read the foundry’s terms before listing any.
