A podcast on Sherpo is a show of episodes led by their audio, newest first, on your own site. Any episode can be free, the rest open to listeners who pay, once, by subscription or inside a tier. A listed podcast has a public RSS feed for Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other directories, and every paying listener can get a private feed for their own app. Sherpo handles hosting, sign-in and payments, and takes 0% of what listeners pay.

Questions about podcasts.
Still curious? Talk to us
What is a podcast on Sherpo?
A product made of episodes, each led by its audio, listed newest first on your own site. Keep any episode free, sell the rest, and let listeners follow the show in their podcast app.
Which podcast apps does it work with?
Any app that reads RSS. Submit the public feed to Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other directories, and listeners find the show there. Private feeds work in apps that follow a feed by its link, such as Apple Podcasts, Overcast and Pocket Casts. Spotify only plays shows from its own directory, so private feeds don’t work there.
How do paying listeners get the episodes in their app?
On the podcast’s page, under any episode or in their library, they choose Listen in your app, copy their private address and add it to their podcast app. It carries the episodes they may listen to, and stops when their access ends.
What if a listener shares their private feed?
A private feed is meant for one person and their devices. Once more people use it than that, its address moves to a new one and the old one stops working. If it keeps getting shared, it’s turned off, and you can turn it back on from the customer’s page.
Can some episodes be free?
Yes. Make any episode free, and it plays on your site and in the public feed, so new listeners can sample the show.
How is a podcast different from a series?
A series is made to be watched, in seasons on a video player. A podcast is made to be heard, with episodes led by their audio that also play in podcast apps.
Do episodes have transcripts and chapters?
If you want them. On Pro, make subtitles, a transcript, a summary and chapters from an episode’s audio, and they show beside the player once published. Published chapters and subtitles reach the podcast apps that read them too.
Is audio hosting included?
Yes. Sherpo hosts every episode, and it streams with no bandwidth fees. Lite includes 10 GB of storage and Pro 100 GB, shared with your video and files. Pro also includes 600 AI media minutes a month per store.
Can every store sell podcasts?
Podcasts are opening store by store. Write to us at support@sherpo.io and we’ll turn them on for yours.
Does Sherpo take a cut of my podcast sales?
No. Sherpo takes 0% of your sales on every plan. You pay a flat price, plus your payment provider’s standard processing fees.
Which plan do I need for a podcast?
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.
