Help Center FAQs
Answers before you hit checkout and after.
Everything about ordering, delivery, payments, licensing, and refunds for software purchased through Gelber Studio. Can't find it here? Our team replies within one business day.
CH. 01
Ordering & Delivery
Are products shipped physically?
No. Every product in the Gelber Studio store is digital software. Depending on the item, delivery includes a download link, a license key, a redemption code, activation instructions, or instructions to access the software through a publisher's own account.
How fast will I receive my order?
Most orders are delivered automatically within a few minutes of successful payment confirmation. Some orders are routed through manual review or fraud verification first, which can add some time before access is issued.
I didn't receive my order confirmation or download email. What now?
First check spam, junk, promotions, and any security-filter folders, and confirm the email address used at checkout. If it's still missing, email support@gelberstudio.com with your order number, the product name, and the email used to purchase, and we'll resend it.
Do I need to create an account to buy something?
You can complete a purchase through our secure WooCommerce checkout with just your order and payment details. Creating an account simply makes it easier to find your order history and re-access download links later.
Are products available outside the United States?
Yes, in most cases. A small number of products carry publisher-specific region, account, or device restrictions. Where that applies, it's noted on the individual product page before you check out. If you're unsure about a specific title, ask us first.
CH. 02
Payments & Pricing
What payment methods do you accept?
Accepted methods are shown at checkout and may include major credit and debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, depending on your region and device.
Is my payment information safe? Do you store my card details?
Yes. Checkout runs over HTTPS/SSL and payments are processed by secure third-party providers. Gelber Studio never stores your full card number on its own servers. Please don't send card or banking details by email either.
What currency are prices shown in?
Prices are displayed in the currency shown at checkout. If you pay with a card or wallet issued in a different currency, your bank or provider may apply its own conversion or foreign-transaction fee. That's outside our control.
Are these one-time purchases, or do any products renew automatically?
Most purchases on Gelber Studio are one-time digital purchases. A product is only treated as a subscription or recurring charge if that's clearly stated on the product page and at checkout before you pay.
Will I be charged tax?
Sales tax, VAT, or GST may apply depending on your location, the product, and your payment provider. Any tax we collect is shown before you complete checkout.
My order is showing as pending or under review. Why?
We occasionally review orders for fraud risk, mismatched billing details, or suspicious activity before releasing digital access. If your order needs extra verification, we'll reach out using your checkout email.
CH. 03
Licensing & Activation
What exactly am I buying, the software, or a license to use it?
You receive the license or access rights described on the product page, the publisher's EULA, or the redemption/activation instructions provided. Ownership of the underlying software stays with its publisher. You're licensed to use it, not buying the IP outright.
Can I use these tools for commercial projects?
In many cases, yes, but commercial-use rights depend entirely on the specific product's license. Always check the product page and publisher EULA before releasing, distributing, or monetizing work made with it. If it's unclear, ask us before you buy.
How many computers or devices can I install a product on?
This varies by product and publisher. Some allow a single machine, others allow multiple seats tied to one owner. The exact limit is listed on the product page.
My license key won't activate. What should I do?
Email support@gelberstudio.com with your order number, the exact error message, and your operating system or DAW version. We'll troubleshoot with you, and where needed, issue a replacement key or escalate to the publisher before considering a refund.
Can I share, resell, or transfer my license key?
No. Reselling, sharing, leaking, or transferring license keys, download links, or account access is prohibited unless a specific license explicitly allows it. Orders connected to resale abuse or account farming may be cancelled or have access revoked.
Do I need an internet connection or publisher account to activate?
Some products require online activation, a publisher account, or device authorization. Any such requirement is listed on the product page. Worth checking before purchase if you work mostly offline.
CH. 04
Refunds & Returns
Do you offer refunds on digital software?
Yes. You can request a refund review within 30 days of delivery. Because every product is digital, eligibility depends on delivery status, whether the download or key has been accessed, activation status, and the publisher's own terms.
What situations are usually NOT eligible for a refund?
Generally non-refundable once issued: license keys that have already been revealed, redeemed, or activated; downloads already accessed where the product matches the listing; purchases for an OS/DAW/hardware setup that was clearly stated before checkout; and simple change-of-mind requests after access has been delivered.
I bought the wrong product or ordered by mistake. Can I cancel?
Contact us immediately at support@gelberstudio.com. If we can stop delivery before access is issued, we'll cancel and refund the order. Once digital access has gone out, cancellation usually isn't possible.
I accidentally bought the same product twice. What happens?
Send us both order numbers as soon as possible and don't activate the duplicate license while we review it. Duplicate orders reported quickly are the easiest to resolve.
How long does an approved refund take to land back in my account?
Approved refunds go back to your original payment method and are typically processed within 5 to 10 business days on our end. The exact posting time afterward depends on your bank, card issuer, or wallet provider.
Is there a return shipping cost?
No. Since every product is digital, there's no physical item to return and no shipping cost involved. If a refund is approved, access to the refunded product may be disabled where technically possible.
CH. 05

How do I reach support, and what should I include?
Email support@gelberstudio.com or call +1 (602) 562-6635, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time. Always include your order number, the product name, the email used to purchase, and a short description of the issue. It speeds up resolution considerably.
Where can I check the status of my order?
Use our Order Status page to check where things stand, or email support with your order number for a manual update.
I lost my download link or license key. Can you resend it?
Yes. Email support with your order number and purchase email and we'll re-send your access details, provided the order is verified against our records.
