Sellwire is a web service for selling downloadable digital goods through product links. Sellers upload products and use the service for checkout and delivery, but remain responsible for having a store or website. Listed goods include plugins, scripts, ebooks, songs, videos and photos. Sellers can keep multiple file versions; customers can access previous versions and receive alerts when another is added. Sellwire provides order tracking, receipt pages, per-file and overall reports, and a six-month breakdown report. Sellers can create fixed or percentage coupons 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. It lists EU VAT MOSS support and reporting for VAT MOSS and EC Sales List for B2B sales. The free plan allows one file. Solo costs 9.00 USD per month and allows up to 10 files; higher plans allow up to 50 files or unlimited files. The maximum file size is 300MB, which the FAQ says makes the service a poor fit for large files such as videos.
Who it is for
Sellwire suits sellers of downloadable products who already have a store or website and need checkout, file delivery and order reporting. Its stated file-size limit makes it a poor fit for large files such as videos.
