How to Sell Digital Products Online with Google Drive and PayPal

The web has made it incredibly easy for anyone to sell digital products directly to customers through websites, social media, and email newsletters. You can sell PDF ebooks, event tickets, MP3 music, photos, gift cards, software apps, license keys, coupon codes, website templates, fonts, graphics, video courses, and many more downloadable files.
While there are quite a few e-commerce platforms that help you sell digital products - Gumroad, E-junkie, Paddle, FastSpring, Shopify, Instamojo and WooCommerce, to name a few,  here’s a do-it-yourself solution that will help you build your own online digital store in under 5 minutes using PayPal and your Google account.

Sell Digital Goods - The Workflow


Before we get into the implementation, here’s an overview of how the payment and digital delivery workflow works.
  1. Embed the “Buy Now” buttons into your website or blog.
  2. The buyer clicks the checkout button, enters their credit card details and completes the payment. The customer stays on your site and isn’t redirected anywhere to complete the purchase.
  3. The order is delivered to the customer from your Gmail in a personalized email message. You can also attach a tax invoice in the confirmation email.

Sell Digital Downloads with PayPal and Google Drive


he workflow uses Google Drive for securely hosting files, PayPal for processing payments, Google Sheets for generating professional PDF invoices and Gmail for delivering the order to the buyer as file attachments.
There are no limitations on the size of files or the number of products that you can sell. There are no bandwidth or storage restrictions. There’s no transaction fee except for the payment processing fees that are charged directly by PayPal and Stripe.
