A reseller is a retailer who buys products or services to resell them without processing. Digistore24 is a reseller and offers platforms in different regions.
You sell to Digistore24
When you distribute products through Digistore24, you are a company and product provider (vendor). As a vendor, you do not sell directly to consumers but to Digistore24. This happens in the following way:
- You list your products on Digistore24.
- You take care of promoting your products and attracting potential buyers, e.g. through online marketing, email lists, landing pages, social media, affiliates, etc.
- You direct potential buyers to the order form provided by Digistore24, which you can design yourself.
When a consumer buys the product via the Digistore24 order form, the following happens:
- A business-to-business purchase contract is created between Digistore24 and you because Digistore24 buys the product from you as a company.
- A business-to-consumer purchase contract is created between Digistore24 and the consumer because Digistore24 resells the product to the consumer.
The legal contract partner of the consumer is thus Digistore24. This has many advantages for you, which you will learn about below.
