What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 11 of the 50 other tools for selling digital products we grade
Shoppy is a platform for selling digital goods such as files, serial numbers and services, with automated delivery after payment. It accepts PayPal, Stripe and cryptocurrency payments, and offers customizable store templates, coupons, analytics and a JSON API. A free plan has no monthly fee; a Business plan adds custom domains and removes processing fees.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Shoppy, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is building the store, so it sits at C.

The report card
Best for selling digital goods for crypto and PayPal
Shoppy is a storefront for digital goods with a free plan that has no monthly fee. A crypto fee applies on it, the page quotes it as 5% in one place and 4% in another, and a custom domain and theming need the $29 Business plan.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Business is $29 a month billed annually, close to the $22 category middle, and the free plan carries a crypto fee of 4% or 5% depending on which part of the page you read. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free plan with unlimited products and orders, no monthly fee and no PayPal fee. You live with a crypto fee, and custom domains, theming and fee removal are Business. |
| Features | C | Automated delivery, templates, coupons, analytics and a JSON API. The page contradicts itself on the free plan's fee, and a custom domain needs Business. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is building the store, so it sits at C. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with a JSON API and two listed integrations. No apps. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Shoppy is for
- Fits if you sell digital goods and take crypto
- Works for people who want PayPal with no fee on the free plan
Who it is not for
- Watch out: the pricing page gives 5% in the plan card and 4% in the table for crypto, so check before you rely on either
- Tight if you want your own domain or theme, as both need the $29 Business plan
- Skip it if you want recent proof of upkeep, since the footer is dated 2022
- Skip it if you want an app, as it runs in a browser only
Good to know
Good for
- Sellers of keys, files and services who want to take crypto payments
- Sellers starting out with no monthly fee
- Developers who want delivery generated through an API
Worth knowing
- The pricing page gives two different crypto fees for the free plan, 5% in the plan card and 4% in the comparison table; check before relying on either.
- Custom domains, theming and removal of fees need the Business plan at $29 per month, billed annually.
- The site footer carries a 2022 copyright line, so some pages may be older than they look.
- Runs in a browser only; no apps are listed.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Shoppy 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: 28 of the 50 other tools for selling digital products grade higher. It costs $348 a year.
What you could make
- Digital downloads and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- It plugs into other products, PayPal and Stripe among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Shoppy’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
