Turn your merch game digital
Digital products can’t be touched, tasted or held, but they are widely consumed and growing fast in popularity. From e-books to music, digital products also include digital wallpapers, photo filters, digital planners, educational content, and more.
Why sell digital products with Spring?
Digital products present endless opportunities and huge profit margins. Other benefits of launching digital products with Spring include:
- Unlike other platforms, Spring doesn’t charge any hosting fees
- No inventory limitations such as storage or no minimum order requirements
- Fans receive your digital product immediately after purchase (no delivery waiting times)

How much profit can you make?
Your profit margin depends on the product’s selling price. Spring only takes a 10% processing fee of the selling price + $0.40. If you sell a digital product such as a photo filter for $10, you’ll earn a profit of $8.60 per unit sold.
