PayLoadz is a platform for selling digital goods that processes orders and delivers downloads automatically after payment. Sellers can list images, courses, ebooks, music, software, art, and videos, then direct buyers through links on their own websites, the PayLoadz store, or social media such as Facebook and Instagram. Payments go through PayPal, and proceeds are sent to the seller's PayPal account when a purchase completes. Files can be uploaded through the website or FTP. Product tools include bulk import, multiple files per item, discounts, preview files, and exports of product and sales history. Accounts include an affiliate system, and the service describes Google Ads conversion tracking and mailing-list integration such as MailChimp. PayLoadz says it supports more than 190 countries and more than 20 currencies, and tracks downloads to help guard against abuse and fraudulent transactions. Seller accounts list unlimited products and storage, no transaction fees, and cost $49 a month after a 14-day trial billed at 1.00 USD. Free Affiliate and Buyer plans are also listed. PayLoadz supports web and API access and is headquartered in Dover, Delaware.
