Sell what you create.

One buy button takes the money into your own account. Card, crypto, or pay by mail. Here is how that plays out for the things people actually sell, and where we hand off to someone else.

What you can sell

Real things people charge for, and the honest line on where we hand off.

An ebook or a digital download

Upload your file once, and we email every buyer a download link that keeps working, so you never host it or set up delivery.

Where we stop. We deliver the file, not a reader or a customer library.

A course or a set of videos

Same idea with video: buyers get a link to watch in their own player, and big files cost you nothing in bandwidth.

Where we stop. We deliver the file, not a streaming site with logins and lesson tracking.

Tips and pay-what-you-want

A button that lets people choose their own amount, with no store to build and no monthly minimum.

Where we stop. We are the button and the record of every tip, nothing more.

A physical product

Paste one button, and checkout collects shipping and email through your own provider while the money lands in your account.

Where we stop. We handle the payment and the order log, not shipping, taxes, or your warehouse.

A subscription

Charge monthly or yearly with the same button while your provider runs the renewals and the cancel page.

Where we stop. We handle the billing and show who is active, but we do not gate your content.

Pay by mail: Goldbacks, cash, a check

Buyers choose pay by mail, get an address and a reference code, and you mark it received when it arrives.

Where we stop. We track the pending payment and confirm it on your click, without ever holding the funds.

The thread through all of these

Every one of these runs on a page with no backend behind it. The button is open-source underneath, so you are never stuck with us. If you ever want to leave, your page keeps working and you point it somewhere else.

Sell the thing you already made

Free to start, no card. Paste the button on the page you already have.
