Selling Digital Products

Our top three tools for selling digital products

Whop comes first: no monthly fee, 2.7% + 30¢ a card sale with processing included, and downloads, courses, memberships and communities in one place. Payhip is second for a classic store with sales tax handled at no extra charge, though its free plan keeps 5% on top of card fees. Stan is third for creators selling from a bio link who would rather pay a flat $300 a year. Gumroad narrowly missed: it handles tax and email but keeps 10% + 50¢ a sale. Patreon and Lemon Squeezy grade above Payhip, but suit fan memberships and software.

1. 1

   First: Whop

   Free

   For: Most creators starting to sell digital products

   Whop sells downloads, courses, memberships, community access, paid events and bookings, with apps such as chat, courses with quizzes, forums and files added to each product, and checkout in 195 countries. There is no monthly fee: a domestic card sale costs 2.7% + $0.30, which covers card processing, so $1,000 of sales costs $27 plus 30¢ a sale. Its iPhone app averages 4.8 from about 58,000 ratings. Know the limits: collecting and paying sales tax adds 2% and the optional extras stack to 6% + $0.30, Apple takes 30% of purchases under $700 made in the iPhone app, products listed on Discover pay affiliates 30% by default, and there is no Android app.

   iPhone and iPad app: 4.8 out of 5 on the App Store

   Second: Payhip

   Free plan · from $29/mo

   For: Creators who want a classic store with sales tax handled

   Payhip sells downloads, courses, coaching, memberships and physical products from a store on your own domain, or through buy buttons on a WordPress, Squarespace, Wix or Shopify site. The Free Forever plan has every feature with unlimited products and revenue, and Payhip collects and pays EU and UK VAT and US sales tax at no extra charge. It is second because each sale costs more than on Whop: the free plan keeps 5% on top of PayPal or Stripe fees, Plus at $29 a month keeps 2%, and only Pro at $99 a month removes the fee. It has no email campaigns of its own and no phone app.

   Third: Stan

   Free trial · from $29/mo

   For: Creators who sell from a social bio link and want a flat fee

   Stan turns a social media bio link into a store for downloads, courses, coaching calls, webinars and memberships, with a community space and Instagram auto-replies. Creator is $300 billed yearly ($29 monthly) and takes no cut of sales, and you can sell during the 14-day free trial; for US sellers, Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 a sale comes on top. It is third because there is no free plan, discount codes, upsells, affiliates and every email tool need Creator Pro at $99 a month, and its app is on iPhone and iPad only, with no Android app.
