The Simplest Way To Get Started Selling Digital Products
Selling digital products doesn’t need a full website or complicated ecommerce setup.
With Kit, you can start selling directly from your email platform in minutes. No extra tools, no coding required.
Here’s what makes Kit the easiest way to sell digital products:
- Built-in product pages; no website needed
- Stripe integration for fast, secure payments
- Sell one-off products, subscriptions, or even accept tips
- Automate follow-ups and upsells with email sequences
- Works seamlessly with your subscriber list and tags
If you’re a creator, freelancer, or solo builder, chances are you’ve thought about selling something online maybe an ebook, a course, a Notion template, or a downloadable guide.
But then you look at your options: Shopify, Gumroad, WordPress plugins, payment gateways, and five other things just to make one product live.
That’s what makes Kit (formerly ConvertKit) different. It cuts all of that out.
Inside your Kit account, there’s a Products tab.
That’s where you can create and sell digital products directly; no storefront, no plug-ins, no separate service.
You write a description, upload your product file, set a price, and you’re ready to start selling.
You can share the checkout link anywhere: in a newsletter, on Twitter, or through a landing page. It just works.
Payments Are Handled For You
Kit uses Stripe to process payments, which means you don’t need to set up anything complicated.
You connect your Stripe account once, and Kit takes care of the checkout, email receipts, and product delivery.
It supports:
- One-time payments — perfect for ebooks, templates, or courses
- Recurring subscriptions — for paid newsletters, memberships, or premium content
- Tip Jar — let fans support your work with no fixed product attached
There’s no need to create a separate store or pay extra transaction fees to third-party platforms.
The process of selling my ebook was very easy. It took me half an hour to get the whole thing set up and to embed it into my templates – Danny Gregory
Everything runs inside Kit, and you keep it all connected to your email list.
Built-In Email Follow-Ups
Selling the product is just the start. Kit makes it easy to stay connected with your buyers using automations that trigger the second someone makes a purchase.
You can:
- Send a thank-you email
- Add buyers to a follow-up sequence
- Tag customers for future upsells
- Create segment-based offers down the line
And because Kit is already your email platform, this all happens in one place: no integrations or clunky handoffs required.
You Don’t Need A Website
This is a big deal for new creators. With Kit, you can sell digital products without building a full website.
You get access to simple landing page templates that are clean, mobile-ready, and fast to launch.
These pages are hosted by Kit, so you don’t have to mess around with hosting, domains, or WordPress themes.
Just pick a template, add your copy and product info, publish, and start selling.
Real Example: How I Do It
Here’s how I personally use Kit to sell a product:
- Create a Product — I upload the file, write a short description, and set a price
- Build a Simple Landing Page — Hosted by Kit, takes about 15 minutes
- Share the Link — Through email, social posts, and bio links
- Trigger Automation — Anyone who buys gets added to a customer sequence for follow-up and bonus content
No extra tools. No complicated setup. Just a clean workflow from idea to sale.
