Best platforms to sell digital products in India

To sell a PDF, a template pack, a course or a call from India, you can use a platform that keeps a share of each sale, one that charges a monthly subscription, or a mix. A fee of 10% on a ₹499 guide is small. A flat dollar charge on that same guide is not. Work out your likely product price first, then the model that suits it.

Disclosure: DMFast publishes this post, and its own store is one of the options, labelled “ours” and never listed first. Facts about other platforms come from their own pricing and help pages, as recorded on 6 October 2026. Fees change, so open the current page before you commit.

Take ₹1,000 as an example price, not a recommendation. These percentages are the platform’s own cut, before the payment processor’s fee and before tax. At 12% the platform keeps ₹120. At 10%, ₹100. At 9%, ₹90. At 7%, ₹70. At 5%, ₹50. At 0%, nothing, and you pay a subscription instead.

Gumroad’s model adds 50 cents to the percentage on every sale. That flat part is a bigger share of a ₹199 template than of a ₹2,999 course, so it favours higher prices. The subscription tools flip this: SuperProfile at $29 a month costs the same whether you sell ten products or a thousand, so it only pays off once your monthly sales are big enough that a percentage cut would exceed it. That break-even is yours to compute from your own numbers.

Tip: Look for a second fee. Milkshake’s page says its cut is in addition to Stripe’s processing fee. Several other pages do not say whether payment processing is separate. Until you know, treat the percentage as the minimum you will pay.

• Gumroad: downloads, eBooks, courses and memberships, with pay-what-you-want pricing and no monthly fee. It says it has handled sales tax collection and remittance worldwide, as merchant of record, since 1 January 2025. Payouts (direct deposit or PayPal) vary by country, so confirm India is supported.
• Topmate: made for selling your time as well as files: 1:1 sessions, webinars, packages, courses and digital products. Selling has no upfront or monthly fee. Its prices for the Instagram Auto DM add-on are in rupees, from ₹399 a month.
• Beacons: a store on every plan, including free, with a 9% seller fee. 0% comes with Creator Plus at $30 a month, which also adds memberships and courses.
• hoo.be: the seller fee falls from 9% to 5% to 0% as you move from Free to Pro to Premium.
• Milkshake: a phone-built site that sells digital files through Stripe on every plan.

These suit someone with no sales yet. You pay nothing until you earn, and you can see for yourself whether a product sells before you commit to a monthly bill. The cost is that a good month is taxed by the platform as well.

Once sales are steady, a flat plan can cost less than a percentage. SuperProfile’s Creator plan allows selling products, courses, bookings and events with no platform commission, and it also runs auto-DMs on Reels, posts, Stories, DMs and Lives. Its pricing page lists $4.99 for the first month and $29 a month after, and it covers Instagram only. Komi’s Pro plan, $16 a month, drops its fee on digital product sales to 0% and adds email campaigns and a custom domain.

Taplink’s Business plan turns the page into a small sales site with digital products, payments, lead forms and a CRM, and its paid plans are sold for at least three months at a time. Carrd takes a different approach: it builds a one-page site, and payments come from Stripe, PayPal or Gumroad widgets that start at Pro Standard, from $19 a year. Zorcha’s pricing page marks digital products “Soon”, so do not plan around it yet.

If the product is your time, the platform needs scheduling, not just file delivery. Topmate is built for this, with 1:1 sessions, Priority DM, webinars, group sessions, live cohorts and packages. SuperProfile’s Creator plan offers 1:1 coaching, webinars and courses. DMFast’s store takes bookings for paid or free 1-on-1 calls, with Razorpay handling payment. Our post on selling 1-on-1 coaching calls covers pricing and the practical side.

DMFast’s store sells digital products, lead magnets and 1-on-1 bookings. Lead magnets are free products given in exchange for an email, and optionally a phone number. Payments go through Razorpay, and DMFast takes no fee on sales; Razorpay’s fee is deducted from each payment before your payout. DMFast also answers Instagram and Facebook comments and DMs automatically, so a post can lead to a product link.

The limits: the store works for sellers in India only, payments only through Razorpay, and automation only on Instagram professional accounts and Facebook Pages. If you sell to buyers worldwide, want a marketplace that brings you new buyers, or need a platform that is the merchant of record for foreign taxes, Gumroad is the better fit. If you sell mostly your time and want a booking marketplace, look at Topmate.

Payment processors set the real cost. Razorpay’s pricing page, as of October 2026, lists a percentage fee plus GST for its payment gateway, and says the rate varies by the payment method the buyer uses. Read the current figure on that page rather than a number in a blog post, including this one.

1. Check payout support. Which countries, banks and currencies does the platform pay out to? Do not assume India.
2. Do a test purchase of your cheapest product using UPI and a card, then confirm the payout reaches your bank account.
3. Ask about invoices. If a buyer wants a GST invoice, can the platform produce one?
4. Ask an accountant. Whether you must register for GST on digital sales, and how the income is taxed, depends on your situation. Our GST post gives general information, and a chartered accountant can handle your own case.

Gumroad’s merchant-of-record arrangement is about collecting and remitting sales tax on its sales. It does not remove your own income-tax obligations in India. If you are unsure how it applies to you, that is a question for an accountant, not a pricing page.

• Write down your product price and how many you expect to sell in a month, as a guess.
• Compare percentage platforms with subscription ones using those numbers.
• Confirm payouts to India and UPI at checkout.
• Check the branding and custom-domain rules on your plan.
• Make sure you can export your customers’ details.
• Read the pricing page again in three months.
