Blink runs on Stripe and supports Google Analytics, tracking pixels, and custom code; the site also links to a Framer plugin. Blink says it supports 85+ currencies and automatically calculates, collects, and remits tax. Payouts are available to sellers in 118 countries, while customers can buy from almost anywhere except restricted regions. Blink says it includes fraud protection and payment risk monitoring, with full payment data handled by its payment partners. Its terms identify Blink as the merchant of record, which charges customers and issues invoices. The Starter plan is listed at free, with a 5% + 50¢ fee per transaction and all features unlocked.

Robora is a web service for selling products, content, and services through pages, links, and widgets. Its listed offerings include apparel, courses, e-books, video and audio content, webinars, subscriptions, subscription boxes, local meetups, and services. Sellers can run daily deals, sales or pre-sales, name-your-price offers, and recurring sales. Robora provides pages for files, products, services, and deals, and handles payments. Service charges can be hourly, monthly, annually, or one time. Sellers may share a link or add a widget to their own site; the file widget works with websites or blogs, keeps visitors on the seller’s site, and provides a list of downloaders. Robora says payments do not require a merchant account or PayPal account, and Stripe processes them. Its Starter plan is free with a $10 pricing limit and a 6% + 30¢ processing fee. Unlimited costs $15 a month, with no pricing limit and a 2.9% + 30¢ processing fee. Robora says it is currently available only to people living in the United States, with US customer payouts by direct deposit.
