Whatsell vs Sellfy
The Sellfy alternative for sellers who ship physical products
Sellfy is a polished store for creators: digital downloads, subscriptions, print on demand merch and the email tools to sell them to an audience. If you sell files and fan merch to followers worldwide, it fits well. Whatsell is built for a different trade: physical products, delivered locally, paid at the door, with the order confirmed in a WhatsApp chat.
Free to start. No credit card.
What Sellfy does well
Digital products done properly: downloads, video, subscriptions and secure delivery.
Print on demand merch, so a creator can sell products without holding stock.
Built in email marketing, discount codes and upsells aimed at an audience you already have.
Where Whatsell works differently
Built for physical stock
Variants such as size and colour, stock per variant, delivery zones and fees, and a checkout that collects the address the courier needs.
Paid at the door
Cash on delivery is the default, so customers who would never type a card number still order from you.
Free until you sell
No trial clock. Build the store and add products for nothing, and pay a small fee only once orders come in.
