ZelloDrop — The simplest way to sell digital products (1% fee)
Hey IH!
I'm a builder like you. I make things — templates, tools, designs, code. And every time I wanted to sell something digital, I'd hit the same wall:
- Set up a Gumroad account, learn their dashboard, give them 10%
- Or build a whole Shopify store for one $15 template
- Or wire up Stripe myself and spend a weekend on checkout flows
I just wanted to upload a file and get a payment link. That's it.
So I built ZelloDrop.
What it actually does:
You connect Stripe once (takes 2 minutes). Then whenever you have something to sell:
- Upload your file (or folder — we'll zip it)
- Give it a title and price
- Click generate
You get a clean checkout link. Share it on Twitter, in your Discord, on your portfolio, in an email. Buyers pay, get instant access, done.
The stuff I actually care about:
For sellers:
- Dashboard shows all your products, sales, download counts
- See exactly what links are selling best
- Delete products anytime (or your whole account — GDPR compliant)
- Magic link login — no password to forget
- Enable tips so buyers can pay extra if they love your work!
For buyers:
- No account needed — just email and pay
- Instant download after payment
- Clean, fast checkout (no upsells, no friction)
Security (this one matters):
- Every file is scanned before we store it
- We block executables and sketchy file types
- Your buyers see "File verified safe" on checkout
- Signed download links that expire in 1 hour
Pricing:
1% per sale + Stripe's processing (2.9% + 30¢)
That's it. No monthly fee. No "upgrade to unlock features."
On a $20 sale, you keep about $19.10.
Who's this for?
- Creators
- Builders
- Designers selling UI kits, icons, Figma files
- Vibe coders selling scripts, boilerplates, tools
- Musicians selling beats or sample packs
- Writers selling ebooks or guides
- Course creators who just want to sell a video bundle
Basically: if you made something digital and want to sell it without building a store, this is for you!
What I'm working on next:
- Webhooks (auto-add buyers to Discord, send to Zapier, etc.)
- Analytics (referrer tracking, conversion rates)
- Custom checkout colors (match your brand)
Would love to hear what features you'd actually use. I'm building this for people like us.
Happy to answer any questions!
