Mainstack vs Bumbi: which one sells your digital products to the whole world?
On this page
Bumbi is a platform for creators who sell digital products: ebooks, courses, templates and presets. List unlimited products, share the links anywhere (Instagram, WhatsApp, X, your bio, your ads), and buyers pay in their own currency. New here? Read what Bumbi is and how it works.
Checkout
Mainstack vs Bumbi on checkout: one link and bigger orders
The painThe buyer taps Pay, the page hangs, and they go back to scrolling.
Bumbi gives every product its own checkout link and a storefront at yourname.bumbi.io, and the page confirms the payment on its own. Checkout is built for 99.9% payment uptime, so a busy day keeps taking payments. Checkout and delivery are on the Free plan, free forever.
An order bump above the pay button adds one extra product to the same payment, only if the buyer ticks it.
A checkout that never hangs and asks for the bigger order.
Currencies and payouts
Sell digital products worldwide in each buyer's currency
The painYour buyers live in many countries, and one currency loses most of them.
Bumbi shows buyers in other countries a price in their own currency where supported. Set one price and Bumbi handles the rest, so nobody has to work out an exchange rate. Your sales land in your Wallet, and you withdraw with a code sent to your email.
One product, one price, each buyer in their own currency.
Delivery and courses
Automatic delivery for downloads, courses, memberships and coaching
The painA buyer pays at midnight and messages you at 12:05 for the file.
Bumbi emails the file the moment payment is confirmed and keeps it in a library the buyer can always reach at bumbi.io/access. Upload PDF, Word, Excel, EPUB or CSV files, or link out; there is no cap on products.
The same library holds your courses (video on your own provider, text, quizzes, drip schedules, certificates), memberships that renew on their own, and coaching that buyers book after paying. Free includes 1 course and 1 membership.
Deliver once, correctly, and never answer "please resend" again.
WhatsApp follow-up
WhatsApp follow-up and abandoned checkout emails
The painMost visitors are not ready yet; a plain store cannot reach them tomorrow.
Bumbi collects a phone number at checkout, then messages those people on WhatsApp on a schedule you write once: a welcome message, a nudge the next day, a last call before the price goes up, with their first name dropped in. It stops the moment they buy. Starter and up; Free includes 300 messages. See the WhatsApp automations release note.
Anyone who starts checkout and does not pay gets up to three reminder emails from your name, each with one button back to checkout. Every plan.
The sale often happens on day two. Be there.
Groups
WhatsApp group automation
The painYou announce a free class, 300 people want in, and you add numbers all evening.
Bumbi fills WhatsApp groups from one join link, opens a fresh group when one is full, and sends reminders and broadcasts to all of them. WhatsApp groups start on Starter. Read the WhatsApp Group Automation release notes.
One link, and the groups fill themselves.
Webinars
Automated webinars and VSL offers that sell expensive products
The painA page sells a $10 guide. A $150 programme takes a class you cannot teach live daily.
Bumbi runs your recording as scheduled live sessions: registration page, reminders, a room with chat, a countdown offer card, and a replay. Run it on fixed dates, weekly, or just-in-time minutes after someone registers. Webinars start on Growth; a VSL offer (a sales video on one page) starts on Starter. Read what a webinar funnel is and the VSL Offers release notes.
Let a recording sell your expensive product every day.
Ad tracking
Ad tracking with your Meta Pixel, no code
The painYou boost a reel, make eight sales, and cannot tell which ad brought them.
Bumbi puts your Meta Pixel on your checkout and pages for you. Open Integrations, paste your Meta Pixel ID and switch it on; your ad account starts seeing visits and purchases from your Bumbi links. No code, no script to copy. Setup: how to add retargeting pixels to your funnel.
Feed your ads every real sale, and they find more buyers like them.
Pages and domain
Landing pages, pasted HTML and your own custom domain
The painYou want pages that look like yours, not a template everyone recognises.
Bumbi hosts your storefront (three designs) and landing pages, built in the page builder from templates, or pasted as one HTML file that Claude, ChatGPT or Codex wrote for you, with your form and checkout buttons wired in. Free includes 3 pages, Growth 10, Elite unlimited, plus your own domain so pages and webinars live at yourname.com. See how to build a landing page in Bumbi.
Pages that look like yours, on an address that is yours.
Affiliates and reviews
Affiliates and verified reviews that sell for you
The painYour links reach your followers; other creators' links could reach theirs.
Bumbi lets other creators sell your product for a share of each sale, on every plan. Switch on Affiliates for a product, choose what each affiliate earns, and let anyone join or approve each one; affiliates get a portal and tracked links, and their sales show in your Wallet. After each purchase, Bumbi asks the buyer for a review, shown as Verified purchase on your storefront. Read how to earn as a webinar affiliate.
Put your product in a hundred hands, not just yours.
Analytics, Teams, support
Analytics, tracked links, Teams and direct WhatsApp support
The painYou have no idea which post sold, and when something breaks you want a person.
Bumbi gives you a tracked link for every place you post, like bumbi.io/go/mealplan-tiktok, counts clicks per link, and shows where sales came from. Analytics covers revenue, funnels, webinars, pages, links, automations and contacts. See how to create a short link and track clicks.
On Growth and Elite, add an assistant with the access you choose, and the support bubble opens a WhatsApp chat with a real person on the Bumbi team. Create a free Bumbi account and compare for a month; limits are on the pricing page.
Know which post paid, and get a human when you need one.
