Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.
- Stan Store and Paage charge monthly before your first sale
- Linktree shows buttons — not a real product shop with prices
- Shopify feels like overkill for a few PDFs and Notion templates
- Instagram and TikTok only give you one bio link
- Free lead magnet and paid products scattered across different tools

Frequently asked questions
- Does ReferLyst process payments for digital products?
- Checkout for paid products still happens on Gumroad, Payhip, Stan, or Lemon Squeezy if you prefer — ReferLyst is your bio storefront. You can also upload free PDFs and ZIPs directly to ReferLyst so fans download without leaving your page, or lock premium files with Paid Lyst access.
- Can I host a PDF on ReferLyst?
- Yes. Upload PDF, EPUB, or ZIP files to your Shop tab or ReferLyst Card documents — up to 20 MB. Fans tap Download on your public page. For paid content, combine hosted files with Paid Lyst or an external checkout link.
- Is this better than Stan Store or Paage?
- If you need native in-page checkout with file delivery, Stan may still fit. ReferLyst wins when you want a free, prettier bio hub that connects to the checkout you already use — plus optional social links and paid Lyst gating.
- Can I sell Notion templates and PDFs?
- Yes. Add each product as a Shop card linking to your Gumroad or Payhip checkout. Use section headers so fans find Templates vs Courses quickly.
- Does it work for TikTok and Instagram?
- Yes — mobile-first pages built for bio traffic. Pin the same URL in TikTok, Instagram, Reels captions, and story link stickers.
