Notion template separate demo copy when paid site redirects
If a paid template's public Notion Site will redirect to Marketplace checkout, keep a separate demo copy for off-platform promotion and SEO.
Why this can grow a startup
One link cannot do every job. A public demo link needs room to explain the template, earn search traffic, and help the buyer inspect the system. A checkout link needs to close the sale. Once a paid Notion template is approved, the platform collapses those jobs into a redirect. Creators who split the demo copy from the purchase route keep a shareable proof page alive without sacrificing the clean native checkout path.
Company example
Notion says a paid template's published Notion Site URL automatically redirects to the Marketplace checkout page and recommends creating a copied template with a different Site link if the creator also sells it on a third-party platform.
