You send the file yourself, one buyer at a time
Every sale turns into a message with an attachment, and the ones that arrive at two in the morning wait until you are awake. Delivery that fires on payment ends that queue.
Digital
Sell a file, and let the delivery take care of itself.
Upload the file once and set a price. Every buyer gets their own download the moment the payment clears, so there is nothing to pack, nothing to post, and no link sitting in a shared folder waiting to be passed on.
14-day free trial. No card required.

Is Crate right for a Digital products business?
Crate is used by Digital products businesses to sell from one catalogue across their own online store, Instagram, WhatsApp and the counter. A Digital products business on Crate lists each product once, with its variants, its photos, its stock and its price in the merchant's own currency, USD or NGN, and every channel then sells that same record. Orders from all of those channels arrive in one Crate queue and stock is drawn down once, so a sale in a chat cannot oversell what is on the shelf. Crate takes the payment methods of the merchant's own market, USSD and pay on delivery included where they apply, and pays out to the business's own bank account. Crate is run from a phone.
The situation this is built for
Where you are now
None of this is unusual. It is what selling in more than one place looks like before there is one system underneath it.
The link leaves your hands the moment you send it
A folder link is one forward away from being free. A download that belongs to the order that paid for it, with an expiry and a limit, is not.
You cannot tell a real problem from a story
Somebody says the file never arrived and you have no record either way. An order that carries its own download history answers that before you have to guess.
Made for your trade
Built for the way a digital business sells.
The same platform underneath, told in the language of your trade. Here is what matters most for the way you sell, all from one dashboard.
- Delivery on payment. The buyer gets their download as soon as the money clears, at any hour, without you being at a keyboard.
- Links that expire. Each download belongs to the order that paid for it and carries an expiry and a limit, so a link that gets passed around stops working.
- One buyer record. Every purchase and every download sits on one customer record, so a question about an old order has an answer.

One catalog

Selling something specific?
What you make
The same platform, written for the thing itself, down to how it is delivered and what a buyer expects to see before paying.
Digital products questions
How does the buyer actually get the file?
The download unlocks as soon as the payment clears, so it works while you are asleep and it does not wait on you to send anything.
Can somebody pass the download link around?
Each download belongs to the order that paid for it and carries an expiry and a limit, so a forwarded link stops working.
Can I sell a course or a membership as well as single files?
Yes. A single file, a bundle and a recurring membership are all products you can list, price and sell here.
Do I have to set up shipping?
No. A digital product has nothing to ship, so checkout asks for no delivery address and the buyer pays for the product alone.
