A: Thanks for the question.

Brilliant Directories is not a multi-vendor marketplace in the Etsy / Gumroad / Shopify sense. The digital products feature is designed for the site owner (you) to sell products, downloads, or gated access directly from the site — not for individual members to each run their own storefront with automated commission splits.

Here’s what BD can do well in this area:
• Site owners can sell digital products, downloads, or access to premium content
• Site owners can monetize via paid memberships, paid listings, featured placements, sponsorships, and upgrades
• Members (doctors/therapists) can promote their services, content, and offerings on their profiles and listings
• Visitors can discover, search, and connect with providers — which is the core strength of BD

What BD is not built for:
• Automated multi-vendor product sales
• Per-transaction commission splitting between platform and members
• Acting as a full marketplace checkout system where payments flow through the platform and are auto-reconciled per seller

If your primary goal is “members sell digital products or courses and the platform automatically takes a cut”, you’ll want to look at platforms designed specifically for that use case (multi-vendor marketplaces, course marketplaces, or tools often described as Etsy clones, Gumroad alternatives, or Shopify marketplace setups).
