In their own words
PayLoadz
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.
Robora
Robora is a web service for selling products, content, and services through pages, links, and widgets. Its listed offerings include apparel, courses, e-books, video and audio content, webinars, subscriptions, subscription boxes, local meetups, and services. Sellers can run daily deals, sales or pre-sales, name-your-price offers, and recurring sales. Robora provides pages for files, products, services, and deals, and handles payments. Service charges can be hourly, monthly, annually, or one time. Sellers may share a link or add a widget to their own site; the file widget works with websites or blogs, keeps visitors on the seller’s site, and provides a list of downloaders. Robora says payments do not require a merchant account or PayPal account, and Stripe processes them. Its Starter plan is free with a $10 pricing limit and a 6% + 30¢ processing fee. Unlimited costs $15 a month, with no pricing limit and a 2.9% + 30¢ processing fee. Robora says it is currently available only to people living in the United States, with US customer payouts by direct deposit.
