In their own words
DPD
DPD is a shopping cart and digital fulfillment service for selling downloads, keycodes, and tangible goods. Vendors upload products, then place generated add-to-cart buttons or links on a website, blog, or social media page; programming knowledge is not required. DPD hosts product files and delivers them after purchase. For PDF ebooks, it can add buyer information and encryption to deter unauthorized copying or printing. Supported payment providers are PayPal, Stripe, and Authorize.net. DPD says it takes no per-sale commission or processing fee, while vendors remain responsible for their payment provider’s fees. The service offers mobile checkout on iPhone, iPad, and Android, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, and connects to over 500 apps through Zapier. It also supports API integrations. DPD states it is PCI-DSS compliant and does not store cardholder data. A 30-day trial includes 1.5GB of space, 30 product slots, and all features, with no payment information required. Paid plans start at $10 a month for 1GB and 20 products; other listed plans cost 16.00, 22.00, and $30 a month.
