SendOwl
SendOwl allows you to sell digital goods online. It connects with the payment provider so you get paid (more on this below) and it automatically delivers the files to the buyers once payment has completed. There are lots of benefits to using software for this but the main reasons are:
- it automates a laborious manual process
- it offers better security than manually delivering files
- it offers a better user experience by giving the buyer access to their goods immediately rather than waiting for manual action.
In reality anyone who sells more than a few items per month uses a piece of software like SendOwl to handle the job.
More generally SendOwl does a lot more than this - it connects with mailing list providers so buyers can be automatically added to mailing lists, it lets you upsell buyers in the checkout flow and it lets you run an affiliate scheme to increase sales. In fact it does a lot more than this - see our features page for a full list of things we do and our blog for our latest additions.
