Platforms
Compare the bill, then the job the tool actually does.
Gumroad, Payhip, and SendOwl publish their own prices. Quay’s Harbor percent and Studio month are whatever this server prints on the pricing page. None of these pages invent a customer count.
Best platform to sell digital downloads
How to choose a platform for digital downloads: marketplace traffic and Etsy fees, Gumroad’s direct fee, Payhip’s published plans, or Quay on your own Stripe account.
Gumroad alternative
A Gumroad alternative that pays the seller on their own Stripe account instead of taking 10% plus $0.50 as merchant of record.
Payhip alternative
A Payhip alternative that charges Harbor’s application fee or a Studio month, pays you on your Stripe account, and does not file EU VAT for you.
SendOwl alternative
A SendOwl alternative that charges nothing until a file sells, pays you on your own Stripe account, and delivers expiring download links.
Simple online store for small sellers
A simple online store for a small seller: one account, a product page, Stripe Connect payouts, and an emailed download link. No theme store and no monthly fee on Harbor.
How to price digital products
How to price a digital product: pick a number the buyer will pay, check the platform fee on that number, and use a minimum, a discount, or pay-what-you-want.
How to deliver digital downloads automatically
How automatic digital delivery works on Quay: payment, an emailed download page, an expiry, and a refund that revokes the link. No Zapier step.
