I'm still trying to figure out a simple way to sell a DIGITAL product. How to prevent anybody who buys a copy to make a thousand copies from it and share them on the internet. Is there such a way?
I recently came across Fastspring, they let you generate a license key upon purchase. I'm not using it myself, but it might be helpful https://fastspring.com/docs/fulfillments/

How is the link generated? So basically it is a deep link into the clients checkout page? Each product gets its own link? do u have a demo somewhere?
Each product gets its own Payment Link. Jump into the Stripe Dashboard and give it a try today: https://dashboard.stripe.com/payment-links Here's a quick video walkthrough as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypH78KUu4Jk

Good feedback -- thanks. We've long struggled to find the right balance between "convenient/automatically correct" and "non-confusing" in site localization.
Born and raised in California, have lived abroad the past 10 years in various locations. The language I always want a website displayed in is the language my browser says I want it displayed in. Sure, make the content local, e.g. assume Chilean pesos if I'm in Chile, but please simply follow Accept-Language for language selection.
Off topic: can anyone recommend a Stripe alternative that's a bit less risk averse than stripe is? I'm trying to test the water with a service in the crypto space (it's not about selling/buying cryptocurrency, but about automating some stuff regarding blockchain interaction). I got declined by Stripe based on their terms of service (i.e. don't mention the word blockchain). I'm currently looking into payrexx (however…
I don’t know about their terms of service, but I’ve heard good things about Adyen. They also support more payment methods than Stripe: https://www.adyen.com/payment-methods .

For this demo link for example, I wanted to see other stickers in "Stripe Sticker Shop". May be this more of a e-commerce feature, rather than a payment/checkout solution, but after all it is all about selling and buying.

> What has stripe done in the past Take VC funding. I'm being glib, but honestly - it feels like every large vc funded company is actually some many-layered plan to take over existing markets, and then exploit their new monopoly
That’s exactly the point of VC largely - no really, that’s no secret at all. VCs want unicorns. To get that big you often have to be the biggest in the space or big enough with enough moat to effectively be a monopoly. Monopoly status is the goal

If you have a product that need support or updates, don't worry about some people that make copies. They are uninteressiting.
People pay you for an up to date product with support.
(Stripe cofounder.) While there are lots of antecedents (this is, after all, just a checkout page with a URL), and even though this was substantially inspired by the growth of the no-code ecosystem[0], the thing that's interesting to me about the payment link "space" is that it's a use case that really took off in other markets first -- Nigeria, India, Philippines, etc. I suspect that staying abreast of important new…
