When will ArcBlock implement allowing for setting a price for your blocklets on blocklet store? I would like to monetize some of my blocklets

It's already supported, blocklet builder can set their blocklet price during submission at this time.

We may improve this pricing part to make it more flexible, but the feature was there already.

where can I find the feature to add a price? I’ve never encountered it when posting my blocklets via blocklet studio

Here you go:

Yes, we should make it easier in the future. At this stage we still mostly focus on free blocklets.

oh i see, thanks. you need blocklet.yml, I never used it yet, normally I use the blocklet studio GUI to publish blocklets as I don’t have a blocklet server, I just use arcblock launcher for now

I hope arcblock adds the price setting option on the blocklet studio GUI soon too, would make it easy

Hi, the pricing setting for blocklets can be done in the Blocklet Store, but none of our official stores have enabled this feature yet. will consider enabling this in the upcoming weeks.

thats awesome! yes please, enabling it for official store/via blocklet studio GUI would be great and exactly what I’d hoped for 🙂once enabled, I would have to probably make a new release in blocklet studio for my currently published blocklets but with a price set now, correct?

By the time the feature is available, you can set price directly in Blocklet Store without the need to craft a new blocklet release.

There may be several ways to monetize your blocklets:

  • Selling software: This method allows you to set prices and sell through the Blocklet Store.
  • Selling services: You may need to run the software yourself to provide services to users, and then use the Payment Kit to charge users.
