Clear answers before you buy.
Compatibility, purchasing, editing, licensing and support — the important points without the small-print hunt.
Where can I buy the products?
You can buy directly from PracticalITPacks.com or use the PracticalITPacks Etsy shop. On a product page, choose Add to Cart for secure direct checkout or Buy on Etsy instead if you prefer the marketplace route.
How does direct checkout work?
Add one or more products to the cart, review the order and complete the required digital-content acknowledgements. Payment is then handled securely through Stripe Managed Payments. Practical IT Packs does not receive or store your full card details.
Do I need an account before I buy direct?
No. You can complete checkout first. After payment, use the same email address from checkout to sign in or create and verify your Practical IT Packs account. Your verified direct purchases will then appear under My Downloads.
Which version of Excel do I need?
The current systems are designed for desktop Microsoft Excel 365. They are not designed for Google Sheets, Apple Numbers or unsupported older Excel versions.
Do the workbooks use macros?
The core workbooks are supplied as macro-free .xlsx files. The Vulnerability Management system also includes optional Power Query resources for CISA KEV and FIRST EPSS threat context; those are separate from VBA macros.
What is normally included?
Each system includes a blank operational workbook, a worked fictional demonstration and a customer user guide. Some products include additional supporting files where the workflow benefits from them.
Can I edit the workbooks?
Yes. They are designed to be adapted for internal use, but connected formulas, helper columns, IDs and control structures should be preserved unless you understand the impact of changing them.
Can I resell or redistribute the templates?
No. Purchases are licensed for the purchaser’s own personal or internal business use. The reusable source templates must not be resold, redistributed, shared, sublicensed or offered as another downloadable product. See the Licence Terms for the full conditions.
How do direct downloads and refunds work?
For direct purchases, paid products are linked to the verified customer account and secure download links are generated on demand. Direct checkout requires express consent to immediate digital supply and acknowledgement of the cancellation-right change. Faulty or non-conforming digital content remains covered by applicable statutory rights. See the Digital Download & Refund Policy for full details.
What if I buy through Etsy?
Etsy remains a separate purchase option. If you buy there, Etsy handles the marketplace checkout, transaction and Etsy order delivery. The Practical IT Packs product licence still applies to the downloaded files.
How do I get support?
For direct purchases or general product help, email support@practicalitpacks.com. For the payment or marketplace side of an Etsy order, you can also use Etsy messaging from the PracticalITPacks shop or your Etsy order. For workbook issues, include the worksheet name and a screenshot where possible.
