Blink
What it is
Blink provides a storefront, custom checkout flows, and growth tools for selling digital products, templates, services, and other goods. Sellers can adjust storefront layout, colors, visual style, and light or dark mode.

Growth tools include cart recovery, checkout bumps, one-click upsells, affiliate programs, geo-pricing, email broadcasts, revenue splits, newsletters, and analytics. Blink runs on Stripe and supports Google Analytics, tracking pixels, and custom code; the site also links to a Framer plugin. Blink says it supports 85+ currencies and handles tax calculation, collection, and remittance. Sellers in 118 countries can receive payouts, while customers can buy from almost anywhere except restricted regions. Blink says it includes fraud protection and payment risk monitoring, and its terms identify Blink as the merchant of record. The Starter plan is listed as free, with a 5% + 50¢ fee per transaction and all features unlocked. Standard processing is 5% + $0.50 per sale; other listed fees apply to international cards, subscriptions, cart recovery, and payouts.
