Sellix alternative for selling digital goods

Sellix is a platform for running your own digital shop: you set up a storefront, connect the payment methods you want to accept, stock it with files or serial keys, and the platform delivers each order automatically. It has long been popular with sellers of software keys, game items and other goods that arrive as a line of text rather than a download. If you sell that way and are looking at what else exists, this is a comparison, not a pitch. The honest answer for many sellers is to run both.

What Sellix is built for

It is a shop, not a shelf. A Sellix store is yours: your domain or subdomain, your products, your buyers. Nobody browses a shared Sellix catalogue and stumbles into you. That is the right shape for a seller who already has an audience, a Discord, a forum thread or a customer list, and wants a checkout that works without building one.

Automatic delivery of stock. Its core mechanism is inventory you upload in advance: serials, accounts, codes, files. An order takes the next item and sends it. For a business built on keys, that automation is the product.

Payment methods you choose. The platform is known for letting sellers accept several gateways, cryptocurrency among them. Which methods are available, on which plan and at what cost changes over time, so read Sellix's current plans on its own site rather than trusting any summary, this one included.

Storefront or marketplace: the real difference

A storefront gives you control and asks you to bring every visitor. A marketplace gives you a shelf that other people browse, and in exchange the platform sets the rules of the shelf.

Getly is the second shape. Measured 26 September 2026, the catalogue holds 7,143 active listings across 437 leaf categories that hold at least one listing. Nothing on it is exclusive by default, so the question is not "which one" but "does a second place find buyers the first one does not".

The trade is plain. On your own shop you set the look, the policies and the order of the page. On a marketplace your listing sits next to other people's work and has to meet the same content rules as theirs: a file (or a declared delivery mechanism), an image, a category, a name of at least 5 characters and a description of at least 150 characters. Publishing is gated on content, not on taste.

Keys: the mechanism Sellix sellers care about

If you sell keys, the first question is whether a marketplace can deliver them without you standing by. Getly has two ways.

• Your own key pool. Paste your keys one per line in the product editor (price step, "Deliver my own license keys"), or send them through the API at POST /api/v1/products/{id}/keys. Each sale takes the next key in order. You choose a low-stock threshold between 1 and 1,000 and get an email when the pool drops to it.
• Getly's own keys. Keys in the form GETLY-XXXXX-... are issued and checked by Getly, which suits software that can call an activation endpoint.

One design choice differs from a classic stock system and is worth knowing before you move a product: an empty pool does not stop the sale. The buyer is told the key will arrive by email, and it goes out the moment you add keys, oldest waiting order first. A refunded order's key is marked revoked and never handed to anyone else.

These features are young and rarely used. Measured 26 September 2026, Getly licence keys are on 0.11% of active listings and a seller's own key pool on 0.10%. That is a fact about adoption, not about demand, and it means a key seller is not competing with many others who do the same thing on the same shelf.

What a listing must contain

A rule that took effect on 26 September 2026 matters most to sellers coming from stock-based shops. For new publishes and edits, a paid listing must deliver the product itself. A listing whose only content promises delivery later by email, WhatsApp, Telegram or Discord, or is only a link, or copies another listing's text, is sent to review instead of going live.

Promised-by-email delivery is fine when it is automated in a way Getly can verify: Getly licence keys, your own key pool, or a working sale.completed webhook. The webhook carries the order, the items, the buyer's email and any licence key issued, it is signed so you can verify it, and deliveries are retried. If your keys come from your own system, that is the route: the sale reaches your server and your server does the rest.

Getting paid

Buyers on Getly pay by PayPal or cryptocurrency. Sellers are paid on the 1st and the 15th in USDT or USDC on BNB Smart Chain (minimum $5) or Tron (minimum $15, USDT only). No bank account and no KYC are needed.

On a storefront platform the money usually flows through the gateways you connected, on their schedules and their rules. On a marketplace it flows through the platform's schedule. Neither is better in general; which one fits depends on whether you already have working payment accounts. Getly's current rates are on the pricing page, and Sellix's are on Sellix's site.

Who should use which

If you have your own audience and your business is a stream of keys to people who already know you, a storefront like Sellix is the natural home, and a marketplace does not replace it.

If you want buyers who have never heard of you, a marketplace listing is the experiment. Something you can do today: pick one product that already sells in your own shop, create it on Getly with a real description (what is included, what it works with, how the key arrives), load twenty keys into the pool, set the low-stock email to five, and watch whether it finds a buyer your own channels would not have reached.
