## Key features

- **Affiliate program:** The site links to an affiliates area where other people can promote a seller's products.
- **Quick checkout links:** Product links support a quick checkout flow that pre-fills the buyer's email, name and phone number.
- **Help center:** A help portal at help.selar.com holds guides for sellers on topics such as payouts and transaction fees.

## Good for

- Creators selling digital products to buyers in Africa
- Sellers who want a hosted store rather than their own site

## Worth knowing

- Every plan, including the free one, pays a per-sale fee; the pricing page gives the standard rate as 4% + NGN 50 per sale, and says the fee varies by sale currency.
- The plan prices were displayed in Nigerian naira on the page read; a US dollar price was not shown, so treat the naira figures as the listing and check the currency selector.
- The pricing page shows monthly, quarterly, biannual and annual billing options; only the monthly figures are listed here.
- Fee and payout rules vary by currency and country according to its help center.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Selar is a hosted store for digital products, courses and tickets with a free Starter plan of up to 40 products. Every plan pays a per-sale fee, and courses, memberships and a custom domain sit on paid plans priced in naira.

- **Value for money: C.** Paid plans start at ₦12,000 a month, shown in naira only, so there is no dollar price to set against the $10, $22 and $32.50 the category's cheaper quarter, middle and dearer quarter start at.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** The Starter plan is free with up to 40 products, though a 4% + NGN 50 fee comes off every sale.
- **Features: C.** Storefront, coupons, abandoned-cart emails and affiliates on the free plan; course hosting, memberships and a custom domain need Pro or above, and the Starter plan caps bundles and bookings at 2 each.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. A seller still builds the store, products and payout setup.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no integrations listed in the data file.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Selar you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 20 of the 28 other tools for selling digital products grade higher.

- You could make: Digital downloads: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
