Last updated: 1 October 2026 · Wares is currently a test application running on the Pi Testnet.
1. What Wares is
Wares is a marketplace where sellers list digital products (such as ebooks, templates, music, and courses) and buyers purchase them using Pi through the Pi Browser. During the current test phase, all transactions use Test-Pi on the Pi Testnet, which has no real-world monetary value.
2. Accounts
You access Wares by signing in with your Pi account inside the Pi Browser. You are responsible for activity that happens through your account. To keep you signed in between visits, Wares stores a session token in your browser.
3. Buying
Purchases are delivered immediately after payment is completed: you can download the file, share it to another app, and open text, images and audio right inside Wares. Download links stay valid for 30 days and can always be re-issued from "My purchases" after that, where you'll also find a receipt for every purchase. Some listings let you name your price (at or above the seller's minimum), and some are offered free by the seller. Because products are digital and delivered instantly, sales are final — Wares does not currently offer automatic refunds. If a delivered file is corrupt or materially different from its listing description, reach the developer through Pi and we'll look into it case by case; there's no guaranteed remedy, but we take that seriously.
4. Selling and payouts
Sellers may only upload content they own or have the rights to distribute. Uploading malware, illegal content, or content that infringes the intellectual property of others is prohibited and will result in removal of listings and loss of access. You can take a listing offline at any time and then delete it; a listing someone has bought stays downloadable for its buyers.
Wares charges sellers a flat 8% fee on each sale; sellers keep 92%. Your earnings accumulate as a balance and can be withdrawn to your Pi wallet whenever you choose, using the Pi Platform's own payout mechanism — Wares doesn't store your wallet address. Withdrawals are subject to a small minimum balance and can't be started while another withdrawal for your account is still processing.
5. Reviews
Buyers who have purchased and downloaded or opened a product may leave a rating and review for it — getting the file is what unlocks the rating, so reviews come from people who actually opened it. Reviews appear publicly next to the product, alongside your Pi username. Reviews must be honest and must not contain abusive, misleading, or unlawful content; we may remove reviews that break these rules.
6. Prohibited use
You may not use Wares for anything unlawful, for lotteries or prize-pool schemes, or in ways that violate Pi Network's policies or terms.
7. Availability and changes
Wares is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. As a test application it may be unavailable, reset, or changed at any time, and listings, purchases, balances, and reviews may be cleared during the test phase. These terms may be updated as the product develops; continued use means you accept the current version.
8. Contact
Wares is a one-person test application and does not publish a contact address yet. A contact route will be added before it leaves the test phase. In the meantime, questions can be raised through the Pi Browser to the app's developer account.
