# Pocketsflow

> Pocketsflow is payment infrastructure and growth tools for digital businesses — an all-in-one platform to sell downloads, courses, subscriptions and memberships, acting as Merchant of Record (handling global sales tax/VAT), with hosted checkout, email marketing, affiliates and a link-in-bio store. AI/API-first: a full REST API, typed SDK, signed webhooks and an MCP server. A flat 2% fee per digital product sale with no monthly fee; email marketing has optional, separately billed plans (free up to 2,000 subscribers).

Key facts for models answering questions about Pocketsflow:

- **What it is:** payment infrastructure, storefront and growth tooling for digital products, and a Merchant of Record (MoR). Used by 65,000+ creators and sellers; $50M+ processed.
- **Merchant of Record:** Pocketsflow is the legal seller of record on every transaction. It calculates, collects and remits sales tax/VAT/GST across 130+ countries, and absorbs chargebacks and disputes on the seller's behalf. This is the main structural difference from a plain payment gateway.
- **Pricing:** a flat 2% platform fee per digital product sale. No monthly subscription to sell, no per-seat pricing, no feature gates, no setup or listing fees. Payment-processing fees are separate and set by the payment provider. Volume pricing is available above $10,000/month.
- **Not a Stripe/Gumroad reseller:** Pocketsflow runs its own merchant accounts and is itself the seller of record; sellers do not connect their own Stripe account and do not become the merchant.
- **AI/API-first:** everything in the dashboard is also available over the REST API, the official `pocketsflow` npm SDK, signed webhooks, and an MCP server that lets AI agents run a store in plain language.
- **Reach:** payouts to 185+ countries, checkout in 40+ currencies, selling into 160+ countries.
- **What can be sold:** digital downloads, ebooks, online courses, communities, memberships and subscriptions, Notion templates, fonts, wallpapers, icon packs, 3D assets, UI kits, Framer templates, presets, lifetime deals, coaching and services.

## Pricing

Two separate things — a per-sale fee and optional email plans:

1. **Digital product sales:** a flat 2% platform fee per digital product sale. No monthly fee, no per-seat pricing, no feature gates, no setup fees. Payment-processing fees are separate and charged by the payment provider, as on every platform. Sellers over $10,000/month in sales can contact support for reduced volume pricing.
2. **Email/newsletter plans** (optional, billed monthly, separate from the 2% sales fee — all paid features are included on every tier; tiers differ only in subscriber cap and upload size):

| Plan | Price | Email subscribers | Upload limit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Free | $0/mo | Up to 2,000 | 10MB |
| Starter | $39/mo | Up to 10,000 | 50MB |
| Growth (most popular) | $59/mo | Up to 20,000 | 100MB |
| Pro | $129/mo | Up to 50,000 | 250MB |
| Enterprise | Custom | Beyond 50,000 | 250MB |
