Use Checkout Page Digital Downloads to sell digital downloads on the internet. Create a checkout page in a few clicks, upload your files and add the checkout to your site or share a payment link.
👋 Three years ago I launched Checkout Page here on Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) as a no-code way to take payments on Stripe. What started as a small side project has turned into my primary source of income.
Checkout Page now processes more than 2000 payments and subscriptions per month at a monthly volume of $120.000. All over the world people use Checkout Page to sell software subscriptions, fonts, cheese, memberships, guides, event tickets and more.
🆕 Today, I’m launching Checkout Page Digital Downloads. A no-code way to sell digital downloads on your own site and with payment links. Create a checkout page, add your files and share it with your customers. It’s that simple.
We take care of payment confirmations and bring your files to your customers. Check out the demo: https://checkoutpage.co/c/checko...
Checkout Page makes it really easy to set up specific use cases. A couple of use cases supported out of the box:
📝 Sign up/registration forms with a free PDF download
🧧 Pay what you want; let people name a fair price for your download
🔃 Memberships; add and change content for your members to download
I'm curious to hear what you think! I’ll be around today to answer questions and respond to feedback. 🥳
@isnhp Hey Phong, we're planning to add Paypal support in the future. If you wish you can sign up here to get notified when it's available: https://checkoutpage.co/c/checko...
Super easy to use! Had my product page set up in minutes and had my first sale the first day. Good luck with the Launch Sander & keep up the good work!
Hi Sander! I sell software online and it requires a cart that can distribute digital products, so I would be interested in your product!
I am based in Luxembourg, and I read you were based in the Netherlands. So you might be aware of the difficulties we have in the EU when dealing with VAT. Has Checkout Page a system included that can automatically filter VAT rates in function of the country were the customer is located (if in Europe)?
@eugenemarage hey Sven! I’m indeed aware of those difficulties, it’s a nightmare!
Checkout Page does not yet have an integrated way of charging VAT. It’s high on the roadmap; you can leave your email address here and I keep you posted when there’s news: https://checkoutpage.co/checkout...
@fishsander Imma fill the form! If you manage to get this feature, I think you'll be ahead of lot of competitors 👉 I'm currently running my store with DPD, which I found after long searches for an affordable distributor that was able to manage these VAT rules
Hey Sander! The design looks slick and like your minimalist approach to the product overall!
Have a question that jumped into my head straight away after seeing what your product has to offer. With Stripe recently launching "Payment Links" (https://stripe.com/ae/payments/p...) it seems like a direct competition to what Checkout Page allows users to do.
Q: What problem Checkout Page solves better comparing to Stripe's offering?
@naz_avo Hey Naz! Thanks for the kind words!
I was expecting to see that question pop up — it's something I've put a lot of thought into ever since launching Checkout Page. I just shared my emotional rollercoaster of this on Indie Hackers, in case you're interested: https://www.indiehackers.com/pos...
As I said in my original comment, when I launched Checkout Page its USP was exactly what Stripe Payment Links offers today; to take a payment into your Stripe account without code.
Today, Checkout Page offers many features that help sellers generate leads, sell more and save time. Specifically with this launch, we now support selling digital downloads from start to finish. We take care of payments, host your files and deliver them to your customers.
A couple of features our customers enjoy are:
- Custom checkout form fields
- Product variations and upsells
- Custom payment confirmations & redirect URLs (using values from form fields and variations)
- Sign up and registration forms
- Payment pop-up to sell on your own site
- Custom CSS
At the same time, we store as much data as possible in your Stripe account to create as little lock-in as possible. Subscriptions, customers, payments, coupons all exist in Stripe, making it easier to switch providers or build your own solution when you need to.
I'm using the product for a long while now and I'm a happy customer. I love the simplicity of the setup, but the powerful feature set behind it (which you simply don't get with Stripe Checkout).
Digital downloads makes the product even more powerful. Congrats @fishsander !
I’m using Checkout Page Digital Downloads for a while and clients are fully satisfied with the result. Now it's very easy to create a checkout page. Also, every other task from uploading files to adding the checkout to websites is seamless.

@fishsander Thanks. Don't suppose you have a comparison table on your site comparing features and fees? think with the addition of PayPal you have planned that's your real USP. Thanks for replying!
@flowen_nl thanks Lowen!
In the future I want to focus more on helping people sell more and reach their customers better. From capturing a lead to making a sale and retargeting existing customers. Specifically I'm thinking about lead generation, email marketing and upsells/cross-sells.
