If you’re planning to sell fewer digital products or physical goods - you don’t really need a classic big e-commerce store, all you need is a one page e-commerce store instead.

What is a one page E-Commerce store?

One page E-Commerce is a simple landing page with fewer products linked to an external store like a product checkout page from Gumroad or PayHip without other pages. In one page store everything will be wrapped up under one page with a clear call to action.

What are the benefits of a one page E-Commerce store?

The benefits of selling on one page are many

  1. No need for multiple pages
  2. No need of costly hosting or services like WooCommerce
  3. Only Transaction fees from Gumroad, PayHip or SendOwl
  4. Clear Brand communication & call to action
  5. No complex setup
  6. Faster Launch

Use Cases

One page e-commerce store won’t be a right fit, if you’ve too many products to sell. You can consider the following use cases

  1. Fewer physical goods - eg: T-shirts with few variants and colors or Wall art with few options
  2. Any Digital goods - like E-Books, Courses, Printables, UI/UX Templates, Icons, illustrations & much more
