How do I update products without redeploying?
Since the frontend fetches data from `VITE_PRODUCT_JSON_URL`, you just need to update that JSON file. If you hosted it on a regular CDN, just overwrite the file. If you used Arweave (which is permanent), you'll need to upload the new JSON and update the environment variable on your hosting provider, or use a mutable pointer like ArNS.
What if someone grabs my file before paying?
In Version 1, links are semi-public in the frontend after payment logic. A tech-savvy "buyer" could theoretically find the link in the network tab or code. If your content is extremely high-value and sensitive, wait for Version 2 with gated access, or just accept that the honor system is part of the "Raw Deal."
How do I add gating/DRM later?
We're working on it. Future versions will likely integrate with protocols like Lit Protocol or Bundlr to ensure only proven buyers can decrypt the download link.
What about fiat payments?
We're purists, but we get it. We might add "buy crypto" widgets (like MoonPay or Stripe Link) later, but for now, buyers need to bring their own bags.
How long does payment detection take?
Usually 15-60 seconds on Solana. If the network is congested, it might take longer. We recommend telling buyers to keep the tab open until the "Download" button appears.
Legal & Safety
Is this legal in India?
We aren't lawyers. Crypto laws are a moving target. In India, you'll likely need to track your own gains and pay the 30% VDA tax. Use ZeroCut at your own risk and according to your local regulations.
What if the creator ghosts me as a buyer?
ZeroCut is P2P. There is no middleman to mediate. If a creator takes your crypto and the link is dead, that's a bad deal. Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research) on who you're buying from.
