Unlike Sellfy, SendOwl is exclusively about selling virtual content. Another difference to Sellfy is that SendOwl doesn’t provide you with a website. To make use of SendOwl, you’ll need to have your own website in place – on platforms like Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, or WordPress. But you can also sell via your social media channels or email marketing.
Nevertheless, selling with SendOwl is super-easy. All you need to do is add a Buy It Now/Add To Cart button to your blog posts or emails using the generated code.
Other features of SendOwl include: cart saving, abandoned cart emails, wish lists, discount codes, and promotional offers. You will get in-depth analytics and weekly sales report via email, if you wish. Just like on Sellfy, you can set up subscriptions and use multiple payment options (including Bitcoin).
On top of that, SendOwl is pretty affordable. The Standard plan for 30 products and 3GB storage starts at $15 per month. To sell more products, you can upgrade to the Premium plan for $24 per month and up to 100 products and 5GB storage.
No matter which plan you eventually choose, you can start with the FREE 30-Day SendOwl Trial here!
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
Oh that’s great to hear! Thanks for the feedback and looking forward to staying in touch with you (:
I’m often to blogging and i really respect your content. The article has really peaks my interest. I’m going to bookmark your web site and keep checking for new information.
Hi Hothan, thanks for dropping a comment. Always nice to hear when someone finds the information helpful!
Thank you for posting this! I am looking to delve into the digital download realm myself. I have some concerns about my original works being pirated when I upload them. I’m hesitant on posting my more time consuming fine artworks because of that…I may save those until I’m a bit more experienced. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!
Hey there, you are right. Art theft on the internet is a big issue. Unfortunately, it happens to all artists–sooner or later. It happened to me as well.
The problem, especially with PoD platforms, is that you have to upload your original artwork that way you will have it printed, meaning you cannot add your signature or watermark. Plus, the artwork you upload has to be a high-resolution file, too. I think a lot of works get pirated on such platforms. (Here are some tips on how to protect your art online.)
To be on the safe side, try to find platforms that allow you to upload your art as a preview image with a watermark. DeviantArt is one platform where you can do that, Etsy as well. And then I also recommend building your own artist website–there you’ll have full control over what you do with your artwork! (:
Thank you so much. I truly enjoyed this article. I have a silly question, is your artwork is done digitally with a Wacom pen? The reason I am asking is I have always done traditional artwork i.e. paint and colored pencil and have tossed around the idea of digital downloads. I am trying to find a place to start. I assume almost all artwork nowadays are created digitally with a digital tool except for maybe Fine Art America prints where the art might be scanned other than photographs?
Hi Leanna! Yes, I create digital art using a Wacom tablet (along with a Wacom pen) and Photoshop. I believe that a lot of artists still create traditional art, it’s not all digital art that you see online. Of course, the traditional artworks have to be scanned and digitized in order to show them online and sell prints. But I think there’s also a lot of painting, drawings, etc. on platforms like DeviantArt, Saatchi Art, Wet Canvas, etc. Not only Fine Art America (:
