Blink vs Sellwire

Blink provides a storefront and checkout tools for selling digital products, templates, services, and other products. Sellers can adjust storefront layout, colors, visual style, and light or dark mode. They can create unlimited product-specific checkout flows, share checkout links, or embed overlay checkouts on their own sites. Growth tools include cart recovery, checkout bumps, one-click upsells, affiliate programs, geo-pricing, email broadcasts, revenue splits, newsletters, and analytics. 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. Standard processing is 5% + $0.50 per sale; other listed charges can apply.

Sellwire lets sellers offer downloadable digital goods through product links, handling checkout and file delivery. Sellers upload products such as plugins, scripts, ebooks, songs, videos, or photos, but remain responsible for having a store or website. Customers can access earlier versions of files and receive alerts when sellers add a new version. Sellwire provides order tracking, receipt pages, per-file and overall reports, and a six-month breakdown report. Sellers can set fixed or percentage discounts with time or redemption limits, offer product upgrades, and generate software license keys with renewals and API validation. PayPal and Stripe are supported, and Sellwire says it adds no fees on top of those processors. The service lists EU VAT MOSS support and reporting for VAT MOSS and EC Sales List for B2B sales. Its free plan is free and allows one file. Solo is $9 a month, Agency is $29 a month, and Enterprise is $89 a month. The maximum file size is 300MB, which the FAQ says makes the service a poor fit for large files such as videos.
