What a $1,000 month costs you
Same sales, different platforms. This is the number most creators never sit down and work out.
| Platform | What they take | On $1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Gumroad | 10% + 50¢ a sale | about $105 |
| Beacons (free tier) | 9% a sale | about $90 |
| Payhip (free tier) | 5% a sale | about $50 |
| Sellfy | $29–119/mo, capped earnings | $29 + 2% over the cap |
| Stan Store | $29–99/mo | $29 |
| SitesPlaced | 0% — always | $14.99, or $0 free |

One store for everything you make
Sell downloads properly
Presets, ebooks, templates, sample packs. Each buyer gets their own link that expires and stops working after a set number of downloads — and you can kill it from the order if you refund.
And sell physical things
Prints, apparel, jewellery, candles. Real stock, variants, categories and discounts — in the same store as your files, not a second platform.
A real website, with a blog
Not a link page. Multi-page site, product pages, a blog to get found on Google, your own domain. This is the thing most creator platforms simply don't give you.
AI builds the first draft
Describe what you make and the store is written and designed for you — copy, sections, colours. Then edit anything. 17 themes, none of them locked.
Your own Stripe and PayPal
Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. The money goes from your buyer into your account, on your payout schedule. We are not in the middle and take no cut.
Shipping labels from the order
Connect Shippo and buy USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL or Royal Mail labels straight from an order — around 5¢ a label, no monthly fee. Tracking reaches your customer on its own.
The file you sell is the product. It is treated like one.
Most platforms park your files somewhere public and hope the URL stays secret. Here is exactly what we do instead — all of it checkable, none of it a promise nobody can keep.
Your files have no public address
Uploads go into a private Cloudflare R2 bucket with public access switched off and no domain attached. There is no URL to guess, share or scrape — not even an unlisted one.
Buyers get a link that expires
Every download is a one-off signed link, valid for minutes, issued only after we check that specific buyer's pass. The file itself never passes through a public web address.
Limits you set, and a kill switch
Choose how many downloads each buyer gets and how long their link lives. Refund someone? Disable their link from the order and it stops working immediately.
Your payment keys are encrypted
Stripe, PayPal and Shippo credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage, and stripped out of every page your site sends to a browser. For Stripe we ask for a restricted key that cannot move money at all.
Worth saying plainly: nothing stops a buyer sharing a file once they have downloaded it — that is true of every platform on earth. Download limits, expiring links and the ability to revoke a link are the real controls, and you have all three. How we handle your keys
