🚀 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?

Yes me and my team are working on something exactly similar… the idea is to expand it and let creators who create agents on other platforms also list and sell their agents
