However, the journey from the first customer contact to successful sales processing and support can be complex—unless you use the right tools. This is where Digistore24 comes into play, a platform that not only manages the sale of digital products but also handles the entire payment processing. When combined with the membership platform COACHY, a powerful synergy is created that takes your digital business to the next level. In this blog article, you’ll learn how Digistore24 works and how integrating it with COACHY can make your life easier.

What is Digistore24 and how does it support your business?

Digistore24 is a comprehensive platform for selling digital products, helping you automate the entire sales process. As a “vendor,” you can offer your products without worrying about complex accounting or tax calculations. Digistore24 handles all payment processing, automatically calculates the correct VAT, generates invoices for your customers, and issues you credit for your sales. This allows you to fully concentrate on creating and marketing your video course or other digital products.

A particularly valuable feature of Digistore24 is the ability to use affiliate programs. These programs allow third parties to promote your product. For every successful sale generated by an affiliate, they receive a pre-agreed commission. This is a great way to increase the visibility of your product and boost your revenue without having to implement additional marketing measures.

The perfect combination: Digistore24 and COACHY

Imagine you’ve created a high-quality video course and now want to sell it. With Digistore24, you can not only handle the sales but also automate the entire process—from purchase to course delivery—thanks to its integration with COACHY. As soon as someone purchases your video course via Digistore24, the two platforms seamlessly communicate: COACHY automatically creates a new member account, which is billed through Digistore24. The customer is then immediately redirected to the membership area’s login page and can start the course right away—24/7, without any action required on your part.

This automation not only saves you time but also ensures a professional customer experience. Your new customer is integrated into your membership area in real-time and can get started immediately, without any waiting times or complicated registration processes.

Creating and customizing products

As a vendor on Digistore24, you have the option to create and customize your products according to your preferences. Through the “Account and Products” menu, you can create individualized order forms that perfectly match your offer. You have access to all common payment methods, from direct debit and PayPal to credit card payments. Additionally, you can set up payment plans, enabling you to offer subscription models or installment payments—ideal if you want to generate recurring revenue.

Another advantage of Digistore24 is the integrated marketplace, which gives you access to thousands of potential affiliates. These affiliates can promote your product for a commission that you set. Make sure to present your products attractively on the marketplace to attract the best affiliates for your product.

Easy collaboration with business partners

If you’re interested in co-marketing products with other entrepreneurs, Digistore24 offers the possibility to set up joint venture contracts. These contracts allow you to automatically and transparently split the revenue from joint sales. Each partner receives their share directly into their Digistore24 account, making collaboration easier and ensuring clarity.

Reporting and tracking for your success

Another significant advantage of Digistore24 is its comprehensive reporting system. In the “Reports” section, you’ll find detailed statistics on your sales, customers, and affiliates. This allows you to keep track of your product’s performance and make targeted optimizations.

For your marketing, Digistore24 also offers order form tracking. For example, you can run Facebook ads and track the orders generated through them directly in Digistore24. This way, you know exactly which marketing efforts are the most successful.

Efficient teamwork and security

As your team grows, you can grant third parties restricted access to your Digistore24 account. This is particularly useful when support staff need to process cancellations or view transactions without having full access to all functions. This allows for efficient collaboration while ensuring that sensitive data remains protected.
