🚀 Idea: A Platform to Sell & Deploy n8n Workflows Securely Without Sharing Entire Blueprints

Built with n8n
1

Hey everyone :waving_hand:

I’m working on a platform that lets creators sell n8n workflows without exposing the full blueprint. The idea:

  • Creators connect their n8n instance via API.
  • List workflows with docs and pricing.
  • Clients buy → enter their own credentials → we clone and deploy the workflow to their instance securely.
  • No need to send JSON or share full logic.

It solves the hassle of monetization, manual setup, and hardcoded credentials.

:red_question_mark:Is anyone already working on something similar?
:page_facing_up: Also, any advice on respecting the n8n Sustainable Use License (SUL)?

Would love feedback or collaboration! :raising_hands:

Hello! It is great idea. I am considering right now how to protect my workflows. What about code security? Are you going to check all custom nodes and APIs inside workflows?

I am currently reviewing these options:

  • License agreement
  • Generate and check license key (+ instance id) in workflow nodes using http request
  • Not use comments and documentation inside workflow
  • Using depersonalized list of user_names (company-client will match it with real user_names itself) and check them in node http request.

What do you think?
