Stan Store vs Bumbi: which one turns your followers into paying buyers?
On this page
Bumbi is a platform for creators who sell digital products: ebooks, courses, templates and presets. You built the audience on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or WhatsApp; Bumbi gives you one storefront link to sell them unlimited products, coaching and courses, takes payment the way each buyer already pays, and follows up with the ones who did not buy. New here? Read what Bumbi is and how it works.
Storefront and checkout
One storefront link for your followers, with a checkout that works for every follower
The painA follower taps your profile link, reaches a checkout built for a card she does not use, and closes the tab.
Bumbi gives you a storefront at yourname.bumbi.io with every product on it, and each product its own checkout link, like yourname.bumbi.io/buy/your-product. 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. The file is delivered the moment payment clears, by email and in the buyer's library. Storefront, checkout and delivery are on the Free plan, free forever.
Your followers pay the way they already pay, and get the file at once.
Sell anywhere
Sell to buyers in other countries from the same link
The painYour audience is spread across countries, and one price in one currency loses half of them.
Bumbi sells unlimited digital products to buyers anywhere in the world. 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. Set one price for each product and share one link.
One link, every buyer in their own currency.
Getting paid
How do you get paid from a Stan Store alternative?
The painSelling to the world only counts when the money lands in your own bank.
Bumbi puts every sale in your Wallet, listed by buyer. Save your payout account once; every withdrawal is confirmed with a six-digit code sent to your email, so nobody moves your money without you. The Wallet is on every plan; see which Bumbi plan fits which creator.
Every sale in one Wallet, one code to confirm.
Coaching and courses
Sell coaching calls, courses and memberships next to your downloads
The painCoaching means a calendar app, a payment link and a WhatsApp thread to tie them together.
Bumbi sells coaching as a product: set your hours, and the buyer pays at checkout and books a slot straight after, synced to Google Calendar, with email and WhatsApp reminders before the call. Courses live in the same library where buyers already log in: video, text, quizzes, drip lessons and a certificate. Memberships renew monthly or yearly, with reminders first. Free includes 1 of each; Growth and Elite have no limit (plan limits).

WhatsApp follow-up
Which platform like Stan Store follows up on WhatsApp?
The painYour followers read WhatsApp. They do not always read email.
Bumbi connects your own WhatsApp number and sends follow-ups from it: a welcome message when someone joins your list or buys, a nudge the next day, with their first name dropped in. It stops when they buy. This was the biggest gap in our test; the WhatsApp automations release note shows the setup. Starter and up; Free includes 300 messages.
Follow up where your followers actually read, from your own number.
Groups
WhatsApp groups that run themselves
The painA paid community run by hand means approving joins at midnight and opening "Group 2".
Bumbi admits people through one link, fills groups in rotation when one is full, and sends scheduled messages and broadcasts to all of them, so a five-day challenge runs on its own. WhatsApp groups: Starter 3, Growth 10, Elite unlimited. See the WhatsApp Group Automation release notes.
One link, as many groups as the launch needs.
Webinars
Can you sell your coaching programme with a webinar?
The painA product page converts people who already want the thing. A webinar turns followers into buyers of the expensive thing.
Bumbi runs your recording as scheduled live sessions: registration page, reminders by email and WhatsApp, a room with chat, and your offer at the minute you choose with a countdown; latecomers get the replay. VSL funnels put a sales video over the offer. Webinars: Growth 1, Elite 7. VSL offers: Starter 1, Growth 3, Elite 5. Read how to sell with webinars and how to add an offer to your room.
A webinar sells what a product card cannot explain.
Bumps and recovery
Order bumps and abandoned checkout recovery
The painMost people who start checkout never pay; the rest buy one thing and leave.
Bumbi adds more to each order without a second checkout: an order bump is a tick box above the pay button ("Add the workbook for $6"), paid in the same payment. Nothing is added unless the buyer chooses it. The people who started checkout and did not pay get three recovery emails under your name, each with one button back to the same checkout, stopping the moment they buy. On every plan.

Almost-buyers and fresh buyers are your easiest sales.
Pages and your domain
Landing pages, pasted HTML and your own domain
The painYour profile link should open a page that sells, not a bare list of buttons.
Bumbi hosts your storefront and landing pages, from a template in the visual builder or from one HTML file that Claude or ChatGPT wrote for you: create a page, choose "Paste your HTML", paste, and styles, fonts and images render as written, with your form code and checkout buttons wired in. Every plan gets a yourname.bumbi.io address; Elite connects your own domain. Pages: Free 3, Growth 10, Elite unlimited. See how to build a landing page in Bumbi.
Build the page however you like; Bumbi hosts it beside the checkout.
Affiliates and tracking
Affiliates, verified reviews and ad tracking that sell for you
The painYou are the only one selling your product, and your ad manager shows two purchases when you made nine.
Bumbi lets other creators sell your product for a share of each sale: switch a product on for affiliates, set what each earns, and they get tracked links and a portal. Bumbi also asks each buyer for a review, shown on your product page as a "Verified purchase". Read how an affiliate checkout link works.
Running ads to your followers' lookalikes? Paste your Meta Pixel ID in Integrations and Bumbi adds the pixel to your checkout and pages, no code; setup is in how to add retargeting pixels to your funnel. Invite your assistant as Admin or Editor (Growth 1 seat, Elite 3); support is a WhatsApp chat from the dashboard. Create a free Bumbi account to try it.

FAQ
Stan Store vs Bumbi: questions people ask

Can I sell coaching calls on Bumbi the way I sell downloads?
