Choosing the Best Online Payment Tool to Make Selling Your Digital Products and Services Easy

By Natalie Sisson ·

Heads up: this post is from 2014. The ideas hold up, but some tools, prices and links will have moved on since. For Natalie’s current work, head to NatalieSisson.com.

You’ve worked for months and poured your heart and soul into your digital product, but how the heck do you sell it now? With so many online payment processing tools out there, how are you supposed to know which one is going to be right for you.

Fellow Freedom Fighter, Nicholas sent me a question asking just this question. Just starting out, he wants to sell his online course, but is on a tight budget and doesn’t want to pay a monthly service fee if possible. Good news Nicholas, that is definitely possible!

When I began selling my first digital product I went through the same thing. I wanted to find a processor that wouldn’t gouge me for every transaction I made and would also allow my customers to purchase with their credit card if they wanted to. After a little trial and error, I put together a list of my favourite go-to payment processing tools that have made purchasing my digital products as easy as possible for my customers.

What you will learn in this episode:

  • My go to payment processing tool for just about everything
  • A merchant processor that allows you to accept credit cards at any time. Hot tip: it’s not so easy to set up
  • The processing tool that is great for recurring payments as long as you’ve got a little bit of coding knowledge
  • The tool that allows you to integrate your payment processing into your website without a per transaction fee (however, there is a small monthly fee)
  • Two services that allow you to sell digital products through your site and deliver your product to the buyer – even better, you can set up an affiliate account with them
