Free Etsy Course, Lesson 16 of 34 · Module 3: Making Digital Products · See all lessons
Couples want a wedding website for their story, schedule, travel details, and RSVP information, but many do not want to design one from scratch. That is why editable wedding website templates are a digital product worth considering.
Here is what trips up new sellers: buyers do not want a file, they want a website they can edit and publish. If they cannot work out how to edit and publish it, you get messages, refund requests, and bad reviews. The fix is building on a platform buyers can use easily and explaining publishing step by step.
This lesson walks you through selling wedding website templates on Etsy using Canva: what Canva allows, how to build and deliver the template, what to tell buyers, and how to list it. Sources are Canva’s Help Center and Etsy’s policies, checked in October 2026.
How Do You Sell Wedding Website Templates on Etsy?
Design the wedding website in Canva using a Website template, then create a Template link so each buyer gets their own editable copy. Put the link in a delivery PDF and upload it to an Etsy digital listing. Buyers edit the template in their own Canva account and publish it for free on a canva.site address, or on a custom domain.
Why Canva Works Well for Wedding Website Templates
According to Canva’s Help Center:
- Canva websites are available on Canva Free, as well as Pro, Teams, and Education.
- Buyers can publish for free on a .canva.site address.
- Canva Free users can have up to five live websites on the free domain.
- Websites can be edited after publishing and republished.
- Settings include password protection and search engine visibility, useful for private wedding details.
Things to tell buyers:
- On Canva Free, a “Designed with Canva” footer appears at the bottom of the site and cannot be removed. Upgrading to Canva Pro removes it.
- Buyers can buy a custom domain through Canva, and Canva Pro users can connect a domain they already own.
For you as the seller: our lesson on how to sell Canva templates on Etsy explains that Canva says creating and sharing a Template link requires a paid plan such as Canva Pro.
Step 1: Plan the Pages and Sections
Most wedding websites include sections like these:
- Home with names, date, and location
- Our story
- Schedule of events
- Venue and travel details
- Accommodation
- Registry links
- RSVP information
- FAQ (dress code, kids, parking)
- Photos
Plan your template fast: our free wedding website planner builds a page and section checklist you can use for your template or share with buyers.
Step 2: Design It With a Website Template in Canva
Canva’s Help Center says the free .canva.site and custom domain options apply to designs created from a Website template. Mobile website and Link in Bio templates publish to a canva.link address only. So start from, or resize to, a Website design.
Design tips:
- Use clear placeholder text, like “Your Names” and “Your Wedding Date.”
- Keep fonts and graphics from Canva’s library or ones you have a commercial license for. See Canva commercial use.
- Check the mobile preview. Canva’s editor has a mobile preview so you can see how sections stack on small screens.
Step 3: Create the Template Link
Follow the steps in our how to sell Canva templates on Etsy lesson: make a clean copy of the design, then create a Template link from Canva’s Share menu so each buyer gets their own copy instead of editing your original.
Step 4: Create a Delivery PDF
Etsy delivers files, so put the Template link in a PDF. Include:
- A Get your template button with the link
- How to edit it in Canva
- How to publish: in the editor select Publish website, choose the site address, adjust settings, then Publish
- A note about the Canva Free footer and custom domain options
Make one quickly with our free digital delivery PDF maker.
Step 5: List It on Etsy
- Start a new listing and choose Digital files.
- Upload your delivery PDF.
- Add images: the website on a laptop and phone, key sections, and an image explaining “Edit in Canva.”
- Write a clear title, like “Wedding Website Template, Editable in Canva, Modern Minimal.”
- Use all 13 tags. See Etsy titles and tags.
- Explain in the description what is included, that a Canva account is needed, and that nothing physical ships.
Etsy’s Listing Image Requirements say digital downloads should include a visual preview of the content buyers receive, so show real screens of your template. See Etsy mockups.
