PDF and XLSX downloads, tied to the buyer.
With standard or full security, each PDF and XLSX copy carries the details of the person who downloaded it, so a leaked file leads back to whoever leaked it.
- Standard securityEach copy names the buyer: a watermark on every page with your site address and the buyer’s email, IP address and timestamp.
- Full securityEverything in standard, plus a stamp across every page, so even a cropped screenshot shows where it came from. Or choose no security for a file.
- XLSX securityA read-only audit sheet with the buyer’s email, IP address and timestamp, in a file locked with encryption so the sheet cannot be removed.
Every file, and who can open it.
Storage lists every upload, who can open it and where it is used, so nothing sits there by accident.
- Private, public or a linkPrivate files open only for customers with access, through links that expire. Public files open for anyone with the link. External links take no space.
- Where each file is usedSee the product, lesson or page that uses a file, and find the ones not in use.
- Space by kind and by placeVideos, audio, images and documents, and how much your lessons, site, pages and products take.
- Who downloaded whatSee which customer downloaded or streamed each private file, and when, file by file or customer by customer.
Sold once, by subscription, or given away.

5.0 · Creator review
Selling on Sherpo was as easy as promised. It built my site for me, so all I had to do was create the product, write a description, upload my files, and set a price, while the site handled everything with a nice interface, letting me keep far more of my sales than any other platform.

Questions about files and links.
Still curious? Talk to us
What kind of files can I sell?
Any file type. You can upload several files, add external links, or do both in one product.
Can I sell software or an app?
Yes. License keys are delivered to each buyer automatically.
Can customers get updated files?
Yes. They always get the latest version of your files.
Is there a limit on products or downloads?
Products and downloads are unlimited on every plan. Your files count toward your storage: 10 GB on Lite and 100 GB on Pro. Pro also includes 600 AI video minutes a month per store.
Can a customer pass a download link on?
Private files open only for customers with access, through links that expire, and you can see who downloaded which file. With standard or full security, PDF and XLSX files also carry the buyer’s details.
Can I see who downloaded a file?
Yes, on every plan. For private files, Storage keeps a delivery history: which customer downloaded or streamed which file, and when. Open one file’s history, or one customer’s deliveries, to see just those.
Do external links use my storage?
No. A link to a file stored elsewhere takes no space. Storage shows how much each kind of file and each place uses.
Can buyers stream a video without downloading it?
Yes. Set a video or audio file to stream, and buyers play it without a copy to keep. Other files can be downloaded or opened in the browser.
Can one file need a higher tier?
Yes. By default, each file follows the product. You can also require a higher tier for a file or make it a free preview.
Can I use a free download to grow my list?
Yes. Offer a free download or link, and customers log in to get it, so you collect their email.
How does PDF security work?
You choose for each file: no security, standard or full. Standard security puts a watermark on every page with your site address and the buyer’s email, IP address and timestamp. Full security also stamps those details across every page, so even a cropped screenshot shows where it came from.
How does XLSX security work?
On standard or full security, an XLSX download gets a read-only audit sheet with the buyer’s email, IP address and timestamp. The file is locked with encryption, so the sheet cannot be removed or changed. With no security, it downloads as you uploaded it.
Which plan do I need for files and links?
Lite, at $19 a month, is enough to start, and Sherpo hosts your site on every plan. Pro, at $49 a month, adds your own domain, white-label (no Sherpo branding), a self-hosted option in your own codebase and the full feature set.
