An Etsy alternative that’s actually built for selling digital products.

Etsy is great for selling your physical goods and crafts, but if you’re selling downloads, courses, communities, or coaching, choose a digital-first platform like Podia.

Built just for digital products.

We designed Podia with digital — not physical — products in mind. From content hosting to product delivery, we make life easier for you and your customers.

A custom website you can be proud of.

Build an entire website for your business, complete with unlimited sales pages, with our easier-than-drag-and-drop page builder. From hosting to content delivery, we’ve got you covered. Best of all? It’s free.

Sell everything under one roof.

With Podia, you can run your entire business on a single platform and sell digital downloads, online courses, webinars, coaching, and communities. Podia also includes affiliate management, email marketing, and more, helping many creators replace 3-6+ tools, including Etsy.
