Sell digital products, memberships, and communities straight from your own site with Stripe — gated access, instant delivery, no marketplace standing between you and your customer.
Gumroad, Whop, and the rest sit between you and the people who pay you. Every sale runs through their checkout, on their domain, into their database.
They charge a markup on top of payment processing. That percentage compounds month after month — on revenue you generated, from an audience you built.
Buyers check out on the marketplace's domain. The receipt comes from the marketplace. The email list belongs to the marketplace. When you leave, the audience doesn't come with you.
Directly is the layer that turns Stripe into a full storefront on the site you already own. Three steps, no marketplace.
Link your own Stripe account in a click. Payouts land in your bank, under your name. You set the prices and keep what's left after Stripe's standard rate.
Add a Stripe checkout button to your site. On payment, Directly grants access to a Discord role, downloadable file, hosted page, or whatever you're selling.
The buyer pays on your site. Their email lives in your account. Cancel anytime; you keep the relationship. No platform sitting between you and the audience you built.
What the marketplace markup actually costs — the cut they take on top of Stripe, every month.
Directly is the infrastructure behind a live $8/month film community.
Scenery Club bills through Stripe, gates Discord access, sends a welcome message, and removes access on cancellation — all without a marketplace in the loop. Same engine. Now productized for other builders.
