Etsy alternative
Etsy brings shoppers. We don't, and I'd rather say that first. What you get here is a storefront that's only yours, with no fee to list a file. We keep 7.5% when it sells and pay you the rest.

On AOVANCY
Your products sit on your own storefront at yourname.aovancy.com, with nobody else’s next to them. There’s nothing to renew. A file stays up until you take it down.
Every order is sold by AOVANCY SRL: we take the payment, deliver the file and handle refunds, then pay you 92.5% of the price.* Buyers can pay by card, or in crypto if you turn it on, and each one gets an email with a download link that keeps working. You see their email on the order, and once €50 has cleared you can ask us to pay you.
*Before card processing.
When to stay
Etsy's search is worth a lot. If it's paying your bills, this list is for you.
Questions
Usually the listing fee. On Etsy you pay $0.20 to list a file and $0.20 again each time it sells, on top of 6.5% a sale and payment processing. Here there's no listing fee, and we keep 7.5% when something sells. What you give up is Etsy's search, because we don't send you buyers.
Etsy charges $0.20 a listing, 6.5% a sale and payment processing (3% + $0.25 for a US shop), plus 15% on a sale that comes from one of its Offsite Ads. We keep 7.5% of a sale, with no listing fees and card processing on top. Before processing, we come out lower on products under $20 and Etsy comes out lower above that.
Yes. Printables, planners, Notion and Canva templates, ebooks, worksheets, presets: any file a buyer downloads. Upload it, set a one-time price and share the link.
No. We don't send traffic. Your storefront is yours, and the buyers come from wherever you already post. If Etsy search is where most of your sales come from, keep that shop running.
Yes. The licence you give us is non-exclusive. You can keep Etsy for the buyers its search brings and send your own followers to your storefront.
