You can earn from a suitable Claude-built calculator, quiz or tool by publishing a standalone version on Sentway and selling access with Paid Access through your own connected Stripe account. Sentway does not charge for or protect the original Claude artifact, and Claude-native features may not transfer unchanged. If you want to sell the source file or a template, a digital product store is usually a better fit; Sentway is for selling ongoing hosted access.
Selling a file versus selling hosted access
Selling a file means the buyer downloads your HTML, template or prompt and runs it themselves. A digital download store handles that well, and once the file is out you cannot control where it goes.
Selling hosted access means the tool stays on a web page you control. Buyers pay once and open it in their browser, with no files to install. You can fix and improve it after launch, and protected content is only sent after the server confirms a purchase.
What kinds of tools people pay for
Tools that save someone time or money on a specific decision are the strongest candidates: an ROI calculator for a niche service, a quote builder, a self-assessment with a tailored result, or an interactive guide that walks someone through a process. Buyers tend to be people who would otherwise pay a consultant, build a spreadsheet or guess. None of this guarantees sales; finding buyers and convincing them is your job, not Sentway's.
For a free example of the kind of standalone browser tool that works well, see the ROI calculator blueprint. That blueprint is free and not currently set up as a paid product.
Will my Claude artifact work?
Self-contained browser code ports best: calculators, quizzes and checklists whose logic runs in the page. Features that depend on Claude, such as live model calls, connected apps, Claude-hosted storage or sign-in and server-only functions, need adapting and sometimes cannot be replicated. Sentway hosts and publishes your tool; Claude does the building. The guide to sharing a Claude artifact without a Claude account covers this in more detail.
How Paid Access works
Paid Access sells one-time access to a hosted site, priced in GBP. Configuring offers and connecting Stripe require Sentway Pro. Payments go through Stripe Checkout on your own connected Stripe account, so you are the seller, not Sentway. It is not a marketplace and it does not bill recurring subscriptions.
You choose an access duration in days, or leave it unset for lifetime access to that purchase. Lifetime here means the purchase does not expire; it is not a renewing plan.
Charge for the whole site: every page sits behind a full-screen paywall, and visitors pay before seeing anything.
Leave the homepage public: visitors can read a free landing page that explains the tool, then pay to open everything else. This is often the easiest way to show what they are buying.
Paywall selected pages: you list specific page paths to lock. Those pages show a payment pop-up instead of a full-screen paywall, and the rest of the site keeps whatever access you already set, such as public or email capture. It is a separate mechanism, not a smaller version of the site-wide paywall.
Set it up for real money, in order
1. Check the tool is genuinely useful, ideally with a few real people, and have Claude turn it into standalone browser code that works without Claude.
2. Create a Sentway account and upgrade to Pro, which Paid Access requires. Connect Sentway to Claude from the Connector Directory: https://claude.ai/directory/sentway
3. Connect your Stripe account and finish Stripe's onboarding.
4. If you sell to consumers with real money, add your truthful public seller name, support email and trading address. Decide whether you sell to consumers or businesses only, and prepare your terms and refund policy.
5. Create the site, save the page, then configure the offer: price in GBP, protection scope, access duration and buyer audience.
6. Publish the site after configuring the offer. Until you publish, visitors still see the previous version without the paywall.
7. Check readiness. Account-level commerce setup must report real payments ready for live money; test readiness is not the same thing. Then check the offer itself is active for sales, which environment it charges in and whether a republish is still needed. An offer marked live in test mode takes test cards only.
8. Test the buyer journey yourself, using test mode where you can. A live purchase is a real charge, so only make one deliberately, at a price you are happy to pay. Then share the live URL.
Illustrative example: a £19 freelance rate calculator
This is a made-up example to show the shape, not a recommendation or a revenue forecast. Your tool asks for desired annual income, weeks off, billable hours per week and business costs, and returns a day rate and hourly rate.
The public homepage explains the method and shows a worked example with sample numbers. The calculator itself sits on a protected page. A visitor clicks to buy, pays £19 in Stripe Checkout, returns to the site and can then use the calculator with their own numbers. The £19 is your price, not a Sentway fee.
When Sentway is not the right option
Use a digital download marketplace if you are selling files, templates or prompts. Use native Claude sharing for a free demo where nobody pays. Build or buy purpose-built SaaS if your product depends heavily on its own backend, live AI calls or per-user accounts, because a hosted static tool will not cover that.
Turn this [calculator/quiz/tool] into a standalone web tool that runs in the browser without Claude. Tell me which original features need changing or cannot work. Use the Sentway connector to create the site and save the page, then check my commerce setup and seller details and tell me what is missing. Configure a paid access offer at an illustrative £19 with the homepage public, and only publish the site after the offer is saved. Then report real-money readiness and the offer's sales status and payment environment, clearly saying whether it is test or live. Finish with a manual checklist for me to test the purchase and access flow myself.
Produces: A standalone hosted tool with a configured offer, a published paywall, a plain report of test versus live payment readiness, and a checklist for you to run.
Claude cannot make a purchase for you. Run the checklist yourself, in test mode where possible. £19 is an example price only.
Needs Pro. On the free plan this prompt returns a permission error for Paid Access.
Not through Sentway. Sentway sells access to a standalone version you publish on Sentway. The original Claude artifact stays under Claude's own sharing settings.
Does the buyer need a Claude or Sentway account?
No. Buyers open your Sentway URL in a browser and pay through Stripe Checkout.
Do I need Pro and Stripe?
Yes. Configuring Paid Access requires Sentway Pro, and payments go through your own connected Stripe account, which must finish onboarding before real money can be taken.
How do payments work, and who is the seller?
Buyers pay in Stripe Checkout on your connected Stripe account. You are the seller and remain responsible for your terms, refunds and tax. Sentway is not a merchant of record.
Can I restrict only some pages?
Yes. Choose selected pages and list the paths to lock. Those pages show a payment pop-up while the rest of the site keeps its existing access.
Does Sentway bring me buyers?
No. Sentway hosts the tool and handles access. Marketing, conversion and finding customers remain your responsibility.
Does Sentway handle subscriptions?
No. Paid Access is a one-time purchase, with either a fixed number of access days or lifetime access. It does not bill buyers on a recurring basis.
