I'm an Appsumo customer. I've purchased several products, and this one in particular seemed incredible because of what it offers and the positive reviews from its customers.
I'm planning to purchase the five codes to get started, but before doing so, I'd like to know exactly what the following three items mean:
* Sell subscription/SaaS products * In-built affiliate/referral system * Allow buyers to "send as a gift" products they purchase to friends or family
I'd like to know what they mean specifically and in what real-life cases they would apply.
Thank you very much in advance for your attention.
This simply means you can sell monthly subscription products.
Instead of charging customers one-time, you can charge them over and over again on a monthly, annually, weekly, even bi-weekly, basis -- whatever interval you want.
We also allow you to offer a free trial, paid trial, add a setup fee, etc.
Thank you so much for your prompt response; this speaks volumes. As for the first question about *Sell subscription/SaaS products*, you answered about subscriptions. I completely understand that. But you didn't answer what SaaS products mean. Honestly, that's the part that interests me most.
It means selling apps on a monthly basis instead of a one-time payment.
For example, Adobe Photoshop used to be one-time payment and comes in a CD.
Now it's considered a SaaS software, as it costs $10/mo to use it.
Our platform supports SaaS software sales, just as we support other monthly products like services or memberships.

Q: Ticketing for Digital?
I love that Zylvie assists with selling Digital products like downloads, but it currently lacks the ability for customers to interact via tickets or comms for multiple digital deliverables. Would you please consider adding this for future growth away from pure 1-time purchases into a multi-step deliverable thing so Agencies can use Zylvie? I am currently weighing options here vs. https://appsumo.com/products/agency-handy/#overview which is why I'm asking. Thanks for your consideration of the need to do multi-digital deliverable downloads (agency services) not just 1-time digital product downloads! Pls let me know if you have any questions about what would work best & I love Zylvie so obviously I hope you can integrate this so we can stay on the best platform ever for eComm, Zylvie!
Okay thanks, yes. So if they want a complex digital product, as opposed to a 1-time pdf download or something simple, it is often work we will perform to customize it, right? So maybe they pay, then get a form/questionnaire (pdf/docx or redirect to our private portal) where they enter project details (like website URL, goals for the project, maybe even code), we customize product & give download
You can either redirect the buyers to a success URL, which would be a form URL (e.g. Jotform, it's free), where you can collect all the necessary details.
And you can even connect Jotform to Zapier if you are automating the product creation using some other app, or just process it manually.
With thanks, Jay
Q: I see from Plan 3 that it includes "Manage 10 brands". Does it mean 10 websites?
In the case of Plan 3, we can use our own domains for those websites?
Hi, I looked at a tutorial and got the impression that your software is intended more for individual products, like books, courses etc. to be promoted in a very targeted way, i.e. for things for which there are specific individual pages with content. Q: Can I simply upload my photos or images to be sold, tag them and put them online without having to create complex individual pages for each one? Thanks for your Infos!
will it integrate with sendgrid sometime? I saw in an unbiased 3rd party study they had the highest deliverability, I know different studies go different conclusions but I trusted that one enough to choose sendgrid as my go-to.

Oh! You're right.
SaaS stands for "Software as a Service."
It means selling apps on a monthly basis instead of a one-time payment.
For example, Adobe Photoshop used to be one-time payment and comes in a CD.
Now it's considered a SaaS software, as it costs $10/mo to use it.

Mar 29, 2025A: Hi there,
Can you clarify what you mean by "interact via tickets or comms for multiple digital deliverables?"
If you can give me an example, that would be great.
I'm not too familiar with your use case for agencies.
With thanks,

Please confirm my understanding. Thank you.

Mar 28, 2025A: Hi there,
Yes, that's correct.
We call each store a "Brand," because Zylvie is created with solopreneurs in mind, and solopreneurs usually manage multiple brands.
And yes, each store can have their own domain.
So you have 10 custom domains in total.
Hope this clarifies!
With thanks,

Yes, you definitely can.
We have a few stores doing something like this, off the top of my head:
https://zylvie.com/die-bilder-werkstatt

You can either use our CSV bulk upload to upload a large number of photos or use our API (if you're familiar with programming).
I'm not sure what kind of photos or images you're selling, and while we are...

Mar 23, 2025A: Hi there,
We're currently studying the integration of 3rd-party SMTP providers, including Sendgrid.
Just do you know, we use Postmark, which is owned by ActiveCampaign, and it has a stellar reputation for deliverability.
We've never had any issues delivering emails to any mail server so far.
Hope this helps!
