Frequently asked questions
Can I sell digital downloads on Stashly?
Yes. List the item as a digital product and the buyer receives the download once checkout completes, with nothing to send manually.
Why use a marketplace instead of my own storefront?
A storefront only sells to traffic you bring. On Stashly your product also appears in the feed, category pages and search, so people who never heard of you can find it.
