From Templates to Ebooks: Sell Digital Products Without the Headaches

Genstore just rolled out some major updates to help you launch your store more easily and grow faster. Whether you want to sell digital downloads, start a dropshipping store, or build your own brand, these changes make it easier to go from idea to income.

Here’s what’s new.

Sell Digital Products with Ease

You can now create and sell digital products directly in Genstore. That means you can list items like ebooks, templates, guides, or presets without using extra apps or complicated setups.

 

Most platforms are built for physical products, which makes selling digital files harder than it should be. Genstore gives creators, coaches, educators, and freelancers a better way to sell downloads with less work.

 

Here’s what you get:

 A simple setup for uploading files, setting prices, and choosing how products are delivered

 Help from the Product Agent to generate product descriptions, image ideas, and AI visuals

 A smooth checkout process that sends files to your buyers right away

If you’ve ever tried to sell digital products on a traditional store builder and got stuck, Genstore makes it much simpler. There’s no inventory, no shipping, and no confusing workarounds.

Onboarding That Fits Your Business

Not every store is the same, so we’ve updated our onboarding to guide you based on what type of store you want to build. When you sign up, you’ll choose your business type. Whether you're selling digital products, dropshipping items, or offering your own products, Genstore will adjust your setup steps to match.

That means:

 Fewer random tasks

 More helpful tips

 Faster time to launch

This helps new users feel confident right away and gives experienced sellers a quicker way to get started.

A Smarter Task List to Help You Move Forward

We’ve added new task suggestions that match what sellers really need. For example:

 If you’re coming from another platform, you’ll see a task to help you import your products

 If you sell digital files, you’ll get help setting up email delivery

 If you’re dropshipping, we’ll guide you through connecting with DSers to source products

These tasks are built to keep you moving without having to search for answers or watch long how-to videos.

Use Countdown Timers to Boost Sales

Time-based offers help people decide faster. That’s why we added countdown timers that you can place across your store. Whether you’re running a flash sale or launching a new product, the countdown timer helps create urgency and gets people to buy before time runs out.

You can:

 Change the design to match your store’s look

 Add buttons that take customers straight to checkout

 Place timers on any page, including the homepage, product pages, and cart

This tool is perfect for sales events and limited-time deals. The timer creates a reason to act now, which can lead to more conversions. Best of all, it’s free and easy to set up from your Genstore dashboard.

Turn Browsers into Buyers with Live Shopping Alerts

Shoppers trust stores that feel busy. Live Shopping Alerts help show real-time actions on your site, like what other people are viewing or buying. This builds trust and creates the fear of missing out, which encourages more people to complete their purchase.

 Custom designs that match your store’s style

 Fast performance with no slowdown to your site
