The longer answer.
A digital product is an item sold and delivered without physical inventory. Common examples: ebooks, PDF templates, design files, audio packs, video courses, software licenses, prompt packs, and Notion templates. The economics differ sharply from physical goods — near-zero marginal cost, infinite inventory, and instant delivery. The dominant 2026 platforms for selling digital products are Kavieo, Gumroad, Payhip, and Sellfy. Margins on digital products typically run 80-95% net of platform fees and gateway fees.
