Selar vs Bumbi: which one gets you more sales from the same traffic?
On this page
Bumbi is a platform for creators who sell digital products: ebooks, courses, templates and presets. It sells unlimited products to buyers anywhere in the world, then follows up with the people who did not buy. New here? Read what Bumbi is.
Checkout
Selar vs Bumbi checkout: one link that confirms the payment
The painA buyer is ready, the payment page spins, and they close the tab.
Bumbi gives every product one checkout link, like yourname.bumbi.io/buy/your-product, where the buyer pays and the page confirms the payment by itself. No screenshots, no "please confirm" messages. Checkout is built for 99.9% payment uptime, so launch day keeps moving. Checkout, delivery and your Bumbi Wallet are on the Free plan, free forever.
Never lose a sale you already made to a payment page.
Sell anywhere
Sell digital products to buyers anywhere in the world
The painA buyer in another country opens your link, sees a currency they do not use, and leaves.
Bumbi sells unlimited products to buyers anywhere in the world. Set one price; buyers in other countries see and pay in their own currency where supported, so nobody has to work out an exchange rate before they buy. Your sales land in your Bumbi Wallet, and every withdrawal is confirmed with an emailed 6-digit code.
Sell to the whole world from one price.
WhatsApp follow-up and group automation
The painYour buyers read WhatsApp. They do not always read email.
Bumbi sends WhatsApp messages to your leads and buyers automatically: a welcome the minute they join, a nudge the next day, with their first name dropped in. It stops when they buy. One join link fills a WhatsApp group and rotates to a fresh one when full. WhatsApp is on Starter and up; Free includes 300 messages. See the WhatsApp automations and group automation release notes.
Follow up where your buyers actually are, automatically.
Recovery and order bumps
Abandoned checkout emails and order bumps
The painMost people who start checkout never pay; the rest buy one thing.
Bumbi emails the people who started checkout and did not pay, three times from your name over the next day, each with one button back to the same checkout. No fake deadlines, no discounts, on every plan. For buyers, an order bump is a tick box above the pay button: one extra product, added in one click, paid in the same payment.
Interview Prep Guide, $15
Almost-buyers and fresh buyers are your easiest sales.
Webinars
Automated webinars with countdown offers and replays
The painA product page cannot explain a $150 course.
Bumbi runs your recording as scheduled live sessions with registration, reminders, a room with chat, a countdown offer that links to your checkout, and a replay. Pick fixed dates, a weekly schedule, or just-in-time sessions. Webinars are on Growth and up; a VSL offer, a sales video on a page, starts on Starter. Read how to sell with webinars and how to add an offer to your room.
Let a recording sell your expensive product every day.
Courses and memberships
Courses, memberships, subscriptions and coaching
The painYou have more than a PDF to sell.
Bumbi hosts your lessons, memberships and coaching in the same library as your downloads. A course is sections and lessons: video, text, quiz, assignment, download or live session, with drip, a pass mark and a certificate. Memberships and subscriptions renew monthly or yearly, with reminders first. For coaching, set your hours and the buyer books a slot right after paying. Free includes 1 of each; Growth and Elite have no limit (plan limits).
Interview Prep Masterclass
Lessons, recurring money and booked calls, without a second tool.
Ad tracking
Ad tracking: connect your Meta Pixel without code
The painYou run ads to a product link and cannot tell which ad brought the buyer.
Bumbi puts your Meta Pixel on your checkout and pages for you. Open Integrations, paste your Meta Pixel ID, switch it on, and your pages start reporting visits and purchases to your ad account. No code, no script to copy into a page. Setup: how to add retargeting pixels to your funnel.
Feed your ads every real sale.
Pages
Landing pages and HTML pages made with Claude or ChatGPT
The painYou need somewhere to send traffic that is not a bare product link.
Bumbi hosts your storefront and landing pages, from a template or from HTML an AI wrote for you. Use the page builder's templates, or ask Claude or ChatGPT for one HTML file, paste it in, and it goes live with your form and checkout buttons wired in. Free includes 3 pages, Growth 10, Elite unlimited with your own domain. See how to build a landing page and how to build a sales page.
Build it however you like; Bumbi hosts it.
Delivery
Automatic delivery and a buyer library
The painA buyer pays at 11 pm and messages you at 11:05 for the file.
Bumbi delivers the file by email the moment payment is confirmed and keeps it in a library the buyer can always reach. Upload your PDF, Word, Excel, EPUB or CSV file (up to 20 MB), or add an external link. Later the buyer signs in at bumbi.io/access with an emailed code and sees everything they bought from any Bumbi seller.
Deliver once, correctly, forever.
Affiliates and links
Affiliates, verified reviews and tracked links
The painYou are the only one selling, with no idea which post paid.
Bumbi lets other people sell your product for a share of each sale and tracks every link you post. Switch on Affiliates on any product and choose what each affiliate earns; they get a portal and tracked links. After each purchase, Bumbi emails the buyer for a Verified purchase review. Make a link like bumbi.io/go/kit-instagram-bio for each place you post and see which one brought the sale. More: affiliate checkout link and how to create a short link.
Other audiences, other buyers' words, proof of which post paid.
