Sell your tool on Etsy, Gumroad, or Stan
You wrapped your tool, you’ve got the sell pack. Now here’s how to actually put it up for sale on the platforms you already know, and keep every dollar.
The one idea that makes this work
You don’t sell the app. You sell the card.
When Wonton wraps your tool, it gives you a sell pack: a print-ready card with a scan code, plus product images for your listing. The card is the thing your buyer downloads. They scan it, your tool opens, they save it to their phone. So on Etsy or Gumroad you’re listing a normal digital download, a file, which every one of these platforms already handles perfectly. They never need to know it’s secretly an app.
That’s the trick: you get to sell a real interactive product through a plain digital-download listing.
On Etsy
Etsy is a marketplace, people are already there searching for planners, trackers, and templates. List your tool as a digital download, the same as any printable. Upload the sell-pack card as the file the buyer receives. Use the product images from your pack as the listing photos, those are doing the selling, so make them the good ones. Write the listing like you would any digital product: what it is, what it does, who it’s for.
On Gumroad
Gumroad is built for creators selling direct, no marketplace crowd, you bring the buyers via your own links and audience. Create a digital product, set your price, upload the card as the file. Gumroad gives you a clean product page and a shareable link, drop that link wherever your people are.
On Stan, or your own shop
Stan and similar creator stores work the same way: a product, a price, the card as the file. If you sell from your own site, you just host the card as the download. Wherever you can sell a PDF, you can sell a Wonton tool.
A few things that help it sell
- Lead with the imagery. The sell pack gives you product shots for exactly this, a listing with a real “here’s what you get” image converts far better than a wall of text.
- Test it as a buyer first. Before you go live, buy your own listing, or just open the card yourself, scan the code, save it to your phone. Catch any rough edge before a real buyer does.
- Price for the outcome, not the effort. A budget tool that saves someone an afternoon is worth more than “it took me ten minutes to make.” Charge for what it does for them.
The honest bits
- Wonton doesn’t bring you buyers. We make your product worth selling and we never touch the sale, but the audience is yours to find. Etsy has search traffic; Gumroad and Stan lean on the following you bring. Pick the platform that matches where your people already are.
- Each platform takes its own cut and has its own fees, and those change, so check their current rates before you price. Wonton’s part is a flat subscription, never a slice of what you sell, so whatever the platform leaves you, you keep.
- You’re the one your buyers deal with. Refunds, questions, the occasional “how do I save this”, that’s between you and your customer. Wonton stays out of the money and out of the way.
