How to buy digital content safely from a creator
Get the files you agreed to buy. Review a creator's Baton, confirm formats and rights, and inspect eligible delivery before seller payout.
Do not pay for a download you can only hope is right
The preview looks great. But will the download include the source files, the right format, and the license you need? Ask the creator for a Baton before paying. Review the package first, then use the eligible inspection window to check the delivered files before seller payout.
Why a direct payment leaves too much to a promise
A payment note saying “model pack” does not define the models, textures, file versions, or commercial-use rights. If the creator delivers a different package, you need a clear record of what you bought. Batonic puts the preview, selected package, and delivery record together.
Bring the agreement and delivery together
For a 3D asset pack, specify model count, texture maps, supported file formats, and license. For code, specify runtime, dependencies, and setup instructions. For commissioned art, specify size, format, agreed revisions, and delivery. Preview what is available and inspect downloaded files promptly; a preview alone does not verify ownership or file safety.
Check delivery before the seller is paid
Batonic gives eligible purchases up to 48 hours after qualifying delivery to check that you received what was promised. Your order shows the applicable deadline. You pay at checkout; seller payout waits for the inspection process.
Open an eligible dispute during the active inspection window, before accepting delivery or waiving inspection, and Batonic pauses the disputed seller payout while the issue is reviewed. The seller has not received those held proceeds. That is a better place to start resolving a problem than asking someone to send back money they already received.
Batonic reviews the listing, your selected package, delivery records, and your evidence. We reach out to both parties to understand the problem and work toward a solution. Refunds depend on the facts and transaction terms; the hold gives that review time to happen before the affected payout is released.
Ask for a Baton before you pay
Send the seller this message:
Please send me a Baton with exactly what is included, the total price, and delivery terms. I want to check the purchase before seller payout.
- Review the seller's Baton, preview, and selected package.
- Check the total fees and inspection deadline before checkout.
- Inspect delivery promptly. If it does not match the agreement, open a dispute before your window ends.
Selling? Create a Baton and give your buyer a clear reason to feel comfortable paying. You can share a private Baton for a deal that starts elsewhere.
Make the agreement clear. Give yourself time to check it. Ask for a Baton.
Keep the protection attached to the purchase
The inspection window applies to eligible Batonic purchases, under the deadline shown in the order. Batonic cannot recover a payment made elsewhere. Read Why Batonic? and the inspection guide.
