Sellwire
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.
