There are a lot of options, but my tool of choice for selling Backdraft now is SendOwl. It’s pretty simple to set up, very simple to use (copy code and stick it inside a markup item), allows you to accept payment through 4 or 5 different gateways, send update emails, and a bunch of other new features. It even has a very nice API if you need that kind of extensibility in the future. The development is rapid and the tool keeps improving, and the support is very responsive.

In the past, I used Pulley, which is a little cheaper than SendOwl and easier to set up, but greatly underpowered. At the time that I first started using it, it was pretty new and I expected the feature set to grow, but after a year and a half of receiving “We’ll pass it along to the developers” answers to feature requests and never have the tool evolve at all, I decided to find another tool.

And that is when I found SendOwl.

Yes, the order email is sent to the purchasers email address with download links. Also, yes, there are codes for either “add to cart” or “quick purchase”.

Neither you nor the purchaser need a Paypal account if you set it up to use a different payment gateway. I use Stripe, it’s a bit like Paypal, but with a nicer design and the purchaser pays through their credit card instead having to have an account. The fee they take is comparable to Paypal’s as long as you aren’t selling huge volumes.

You can also set it up to accept multiple payment gateways and it will give the customer the choice of which to pay with.

then the difference between the two sites is that one furnishes buttons,
web space and analytics, while the other payments ??? pardon the ignorance!

Correct (I think). With any of these setups, there are at least two entities that you are dealing with:

  1. The delivery system (SendOwl, Pulley, and others). They host the file(s), manage the cart, and issue and manage orders.

  2. The payment gateway (Paypal, Stripe, Authorize.net, and others). They handle collecting the money.

When someone orders a digital product, the delivery system talks to the payment gateway and gives it the customers billing information (credit card number). The payment gateway processes the payment, and when it has successfully received the money, it notifies the deliver system, which then sends the order email to the customer.

I’ve got to admit that I’m not quite sure what you are asking.

But as to cost, both the delivery system and the payment gateway want to be paid. Usually the delivery systems charge a fixed monthly price, while the payment gateways take a percentage (usually around 4%).

Then, of course, you have the cost of hosting your website that has the “buy” links.

Mr. Grove:

SP suggests and FW integrates with Mal’s. But I read some online reviews that were largely scathing concerning Mal’s: unintuitive interface, grumpy rude interactions with support, some security issues.

You’ve clearly decided not to use them. Could you speak to why you didn’t use them, and what complexity it adds to go with a payment option not integrated with the FW shop action suite?

Peter,

Mal’s and SendOwl are very different products. Mal’s is geared toward ecommerce situations where you are selling physical products, while SendOwl is for selling digital products and doesn’t have features like shipping calculators (or the ability to charge for shipping at all).

They are different tools, for different use-cases.

As to complexity, SendOwl is very easy to set up and use. You login to their quite-nice web interface, create the product, upload the file(s), copy the code they give you, and paste it into a “Markup Item”.
