Sell digital products: 25 best websites

For designers

The best way to generate passive income? Sell digital products! But how do you get those products into the hands (or onto the screens) of your eager audience? AKA, where to sell digital products? Let’s dive into the 25 best websites to help you sell your digital products.

Sell digital products in your own online shop

Creating your own online shop gives you full control over your brand and products. Here are some top platforms to sell digital products:

  • Shopify: Super popular and user-friendly. Great for setting up an online store quickly. And a great tool if you want to give your customers the possibility to buy multiple products at once. Also, if you have a Showit website (get your first month free) and you want to add digital products, you can simply share the Shopify links on your Showit website.
  • WooCommerce: Perfect if you’re already using WordPress.
  • SquareSpace: Sleek designs and easy to use, ideal for creatives. I’ve created my first online shop inside SquareSpace years ago and it was very easy to setup.
  • Wix: Very flexible with tons of design options, similar to SquareSpace.
  • Magento: More advanced and similar to Shopify. But powerful for larger stores.

Sell digital products via your Link in Bio

Don’t underestimate the power of social media. Use your Instagram bio link to direct followers to your products. Tools like Stan.store and Gumroad make it easy to sell digital products directly from your link in bio.

Sell memberships

Memberships can be a fantastic way to create a steady income stream by selling digital products, while building a community around your brand. Here are a few tools to manage memberships:

  • Searchie: Great for video content and creating a learning hub. I’ve created both Designpreneur and The Templates Vault with Searchie.
  • SquareSpace: Offers membership options alongside your site, very easy setup.
  • via Email: Sometimes, simple email newsletters can be effective. Just drop your new goodies in your Flodesk email newsletter! (get 50% off your first year)
  • MemberPress (WordPress): Integrates with WordPress to create membership sites. It’s the WordPress number 1 plugin for a reason!

Sell digital products via online Marketplaces

Selling digital products on established marketplaces can give you access to a large audience without the hassle of managing your own site:

  • Etsy: Ideal for creatives selling unique digital products.
  • Creative Market: Perfect for designers selling assets like fonts, templates, and graphics.
  • Creative Fabrica: Another great option for designers and crafters.
  • Envato: A wide range of digital products, including themes and templates.

Sell online Courses

If you have knowledge to share, creating an online course can be highly profitable. Check out these platforms:

  • Teachable: Very popular and user-friendly.
  • Searchie: Great for video-based courses.
  • SquareSpace: Also supports online courses.
  • Podia: Easy to use and versatile.
  • Thinkific: Another strong option for course creators.
  • Payhip: Offers a simple way to sell courses.
  • Kajabi: Comprehensive, but on the pricier side.

Sell digital products as eBooks

Writing an eBook? Here are some great platforms to publish and sell your work:

  • SendOwl: Simple and straightforward for digital sales.
  • Amazon Kindle: The go-to for eBooks, with a huge audience.
  • Sellfy: Great for digital products.
  • Gumroad: Easy to use and versatile for any type of digital products.
  • Payhip: Another solid choice.
  • Kobo: Another good platform for eBooks, for my Dutchies 🙂

Sell digital products as Printables

Printables are a popular digital product. You can sell them through:

  • Amazon Kindle: Not just for eBooks; printables work here too.
  • Your own online shop: Total control over your sales.
  • Online marketplaces: Etsy and Creative Market are great for printables, but you can scroll up to see other platforms as well.

Print on Demand

For those looking to sell physical products without holding inventory, print on demand is a lifesaver:

  • Amazon Kindle: Offers print on demand for books.
  • Printify: Easy to integrate with your shop and offers a wide range of products.
  • Gelato: Another good print on demand service with global reach.

I hope this guide gives you a solid starting point to share your digital products with the world. Each of these platforms and tools offers something unique, so pick the ones that best fit your needs and start selling today. And know that this is only the tip of the iceberg, there are sooo many platforms out there you can use!
