How buying works
Everything is sold through the Daedalus Design client portal, the same secure portal our website and hosting clients use.
- 1
Choose and pay
Press Buy. Checkout runs on our client portal: create an account (or sign in) and pay by card through Stripe.
- 2
Download straight away
As soon as the payment goes through, your file appears under My downloads with a download button. We email you too.
- 3
Keep it for good
Download again whenever you need to. No subscription, no renewals. Free fixes if anything isn't right.
Step by step
- Press Buy on any product. You'll go to portal.daedalusdesign.co.uk with the product in your basket.
- Sign in, or create an account with your name and email address. The account is where your downloads live.
- Check out and pay the invoice by debit or credit card. Card payments are handled by Stripe; we never see your card number.
- As soon as the payment goes through, open My downloads (Services in the portal), choose the product and press Download.
- Unzip the file. Spreadsheets open in Excel, Google Sheets (upload to Google Drive, then open with Google Sheets), Apple Numbers or LibreOffice.
Questions and answers
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one on our client portal. It keeps your invoice and lets you download your files again whenever you need to.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once and keep the files. There's nothing to renew or cancel.
Do you charge VAT?
No. Daedalus Design isn't VAT-registered, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Can I get a receipt or invoice?
Yes. Every purchase has an invoice in the portal that you can download as a PDF.
Which software do I need?
Spreadsheets work in Microsoft Excel 2010 or later (Windows and Mac), Google Sheets, Apple Numbers and LibreOffice Calc. Word and PowerPoint files also open in Google Docs and Slides, Pages, Keynote and LibreOffice. PDFs open on any device.
Do the formulas work in Google Sheets?
Yes. We only use functions that work the same in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers and LibreOffice, and we test each workbook in LibreOffice before release.
I can't find my download
Sign in to the portal and open Services (My downloads). If the order shows as pending, the payment hasn't finished yet. Still stuck? Email hello@daedalusdesign.co.uk and we'll send it to you.
Can I use the files in my business?
Yes, for your own business or organisation. See the licence for what's allowed.
Can you customise a spreadsheet for me?
Yes. Tell us what you need at daedalusdesign.co.uk/contact and we'll quote.
