The sales pages for each product on Sellfy are excellent! It's very easy to create a product here without a website and linking the sale page in a YouTube video, Facebook post, etc.

Music producer

One of the things I really appreciate about Sellfy is I know exactly where my source of sales traffic is generated (Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud, etc). I can track sales on a daily / monthly basis. It also tracks buyers and allows me to reach out directly (through Sellfy’s email tool).
