For authors, artists and independent creators whose work deserves an owned home.
Finished work with no durable place to sell it leaves you depending on a marketplace feed. Put it in a shop that sells under your name, on your own domain.
Every verified review of the Self-Hosted Builder is five stars.
The manuscript, the illustrations, the templates, the course, the back catalog of articles or recordings: it exists, and it is good. What is missing is somewhere for it to live that you control.
Marketplaces take a cut and decide how buyers find you, and a policy change can rearrange your income overnight. Social posts slide out of feeds within days. A shop on your own domain is the one place where your work stays put and your customers stay yours.
Djangify Self-Hosted gives you that shop, complete with checkout, delivery and customer accounts, and you own it outright.
Everything you have made, in one shop, under your name.
Add books, digital artwork, templates, courses, audio, video or software, each with its own page, preview and price. New work goes up in minutes, and Claude can draft the descriptions for you to review.
Send followers from YouTube, Substack or Instagram to a shop that belongs to you. Guest checkout and instant delivery let a buyer go from your post to their purchase without creating an account first.
Your domain, your colors, your theme. Customers, orders and email sign-ups sit in your own system, and checkout sign-ups connect to Mailchimp or Kit so the audience you build is yours.
Ownership is easy to promise. Here is what backs it up.
No platform fee, in numbers
A platform taking 10% of £500 a month in sales is £600 a year, and the figure climbs with every sale. Self-Hosted is £197 once, plus a few pounds a month for your server. Stripe still charges its normal card processing fee. Djangify adds nothing on top.
"No more paying 10% fees which was what happened on the marketplace I was on. Now I get to keep that profit."

From a creator using it today
"I choose self-hosted because it gave me the opportunity to add my own touch to the site. I have a classroom where I can host my YouTube videos."
Mrs R Wear, United Kingdom. Verified Self-Hosted buyer, who adds "as someone who does not code."
You can see the same system live. djangify.com runs on it, and so does selftalkeffect.com, where I sell guides, a workbook and a toolkit. There is also a full demo where you can buy dummy products and walk through the customer experience: demo.djangify.com.
They live on your own server. You can export them as CSV or take a full-site backup whenever you like, and the backup guide is in your documentation folder.
Files are delivered through encrypted download links with limits you set, so a shared link does not hand your catalog away.
You get the complete source code and a license written in plain English.
You add your own Stripe keys, which are stored encrypted in your own database, so every sale goes straight to you.
If you follow the documentation and Djangify doesn't install and run as it describes, email djangify@djangify.com within 14 days of purchase with your order number and what happened, and you get a full refund.
The guarantee covers the software not working as documented. It doesn't cover a change of mind, or problems with things outside Djangify such as your hosting provider, domain name or Stripe account. So try the live demo and read the plain-English license first.
You don't need to be a developer. Rate yourself on four things and see which option fits.
PDFs, ebooks, guides, templates, digital artwork files, audio, video, courses, software and interactive tools, plus services and events. Everything is digital, with no limit on the number of products. Djangify does not handle physical products that need shipping.
No. Your followers stay wherever they already are, on YouTube, Substack, Instagram or anywhere else, and you keep posting there with links to your shop. You can also keep your listings on Etsy, Gumroad or any other marketplace while you add a shop of your own. The difference is that buyers who arrive at your shop are your customers, and email sign-ups at checkout connect to Mailchimp or Kit so the list belongs to you.
No, and you do not need to know everything before you start. Self-Hosted suits you if you can log into Stripe and copy your account details, upload an image, and follow step-by-step instructions. Anything unfamiliar, like finding where to change your domain's DNS settings, you can hand to an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT. The guides are written to be given to an AI, and it walks you through one step at a time.
You will need a small server from a host such as Hetzner (the smallest plans cost a few pounds a month), a domain name and a free Stripe account.
Self-Hosted means running your own small server, and the documentation walks you through it. The Deploy With AI guide is written to be pasted into Claude or ChatGPT, which takes you through server setup, keys, HTTPS and your first product one step at a time. A free AI account is enough to follow it.
If you would rather not run a server at all, Managed Hosting at £17 a month is the better fit, because everything is run for you.
Every purchase is backed by a 14-day it-works guarantee. If you follow the documentation and Djangify does not install and run as it describes, email djangify@djangify.com within 14 days of purchase and you get a full refund.
The guarantee covers the software not working as documented. It does not cover a change of mind, or problems with things outside Djangify such as your hosting provider, domain or Stripe account, so try the live demo first. It lets you buy dummy products and walk through the whole customer experience before you pay.
