DPD vs Sellwire

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.

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.
