The best Mainstack alternative: Bumbi
#1 pick
Bumbi: one storefront that keeps selling after the first tap
Bumbi is a platform for creators who sell digital products: ebooks, courses, templates and presets. List as many products as you like, share the links wherever your followers are, and let buyers in other countries pay in their own currency where supported. Then Bumbi goes back for the people who tapped and did not buy.
A storefront on yourname.bumbi.io in one of three designs, with every product behind one link.
Checkout in the buyer's own currency where supported, confirmed on the page by itself.
Automatic delivery by email the moment payment is confirmed, and a buyer library at bumbi.io/access.
WhatsApp messages from your own number, sent automatically, plus WhatsApp groups that fill from one link.
Abandoned checkout emails and order bumps on the same checkout.
Automated webinars with a countdown offer and replay, plus courses, memberships and coaching bookings.
Landing pages from the visual builder or one pasted HTML file, on yourname.bumbi.io or your own domain on Elite.
Affiliates on any product, tracked links, your Meta Pixel connected without code, and Teams seats so an assistant can help.
Who it suitsCreators who sell from their social links to buyers at home and abroad and want one home for storefront, checkout, delivery, follow-up and the bigger products that come later. Start free forever.
The same product seen from another country: the buyer's own currency.
One join link fills a WhatsApp group and moves to a fresh one when it is full.
A sales page from a template in the visual builder, published on your address.
Checklist
How to judge any Mainstack alternative
Put any platform you are considering through these ten questions. A storefront that only takes payment leaves most of your followers where they were: interested, and gone.
1
Checkout that confirms itself
Can a buyer pay on one page, and does the page confirm the payment by itself, or does the buyer have to send you a screenshot?
Bumbi: Bumbi confirms the payment right on the checkout page, then delivers the product. Checkout is built for 99.9% payment uptime.
2
Buyers in other countries
What does a follower in another country see: a price in a currency they do not use, or their own money?
Bumbi: Bumbi shows buyers in other countries the price in their own currency where supported, from the same link and the same price you set once.
3
Delivery
Does the buyer get the file the moment payment lands, and can they find it again next month without messaging you?
Bumbi: Bumbi emails the file as soon as payment is confirmed and keeps every purchase in a library at bumbi.io/access, opened with an emailed code.
4
Getting paid
How does a sale turn into money in your bank account, and what protects a withdrawal?
Bumbi: Sales land in your Bumbi Wallet. You withdraw to the bank account you saved and confirm with a 6-digit code sent to your email.
5
Selling after the first tap
Most followers who open your link today will not buy today. What reaches them, and on which app?
Bumbi: Bumbi emails everyone who started checkout and did not pay, three times over the next day, and sends WhatsApp follow-ups from your own number that stop when they buy.
6
Groups and community
Can one link fill a WhatsApp group and move people to a fresh one when it is full, without you adding anyone by hand?
Bumbi: Bumbi group automation does exactly that and sends the group its scheduled messages. WhatsApp groups start on Starter.
7
Order bumps and affiliates
Can a buyer add a second product with one tick, and can other people sell for you?
Bumbi: Bumbi puts an order bump above the pay button, paid in the same payment. Switch on Affiliates on any product.
8
Webinars, courses and memberships
When you outgrow a single download, can the same platform run a webinar, host a course and renew a membership?
Bumbi: You record once and Bumbi runs it as scheduled live sessions with a countdown offer and a replay. It also hosts courses with scheduled lessons and certificates, and renews memberships monthly or yearly.
9
Pages, domain and tracking
Can you host a real sales page on your own domain, and can you connect your ad pixel without code?
Bumbi: Bumbi hosts pages from the builder or a pasted HTML file, with your own domain on Elite. Paste your Meta Pixel ID in Integrations, no code.
10
Support, Teams and how easy it is to switch
Can you reach a real person on the day a post goes viral, give an assistant access, and move your products over quickly?
Bumbi: The support bubble in Bumbi opens a WhatsApp chat with a real person on our team, Teams seats are on Growth and Elite, and a small catalogue is recreated in under an hour.
Before you switch
What to ask before you switch
Where are my followers, and can every one of them pay without trouble?
What happens to the people who tap my link today and do not buy?
Do I want a group, a webinar or a course within a year, or only downloads?
Who do I message when a payment fails on the day a post goes viral?
Can I run both platforms for a month and compare before I move my links?
