CopeCart alternatives: where to move your offer
4 networks a vendor can list on instead of CopeCart, each matched to a different reason for leaving.
Why vendors look past CopeCart
Which CopeCart you sign with decides your fee. The EU list rate, the Americas billing example and the homepage's early-adopter rate are three different numbers, so get yours in writing before you price the funnel. The full case for and against it is in our CopeCart review.

The alternatives, ranked
1. ClickBank, for the biggest open affiliate pool
Best for: Vendors of digital and physical direct response offers who want a large open affiliate marketplace with full merchant-of-record checkout
The default network for a direct response offer that needs the biggest open pool of affiliates, with merchant of record, compliance review and payouts handled for you, at a higher per-sale fee than Digistore24 advertises.
$49.95 one-time activation fee when your first product is approved (not charged if it is not approved). 7.5% + $1.00 per sale (9.8% + $1.30 for eligible Klarna transactions). $5.00 pay period processing fee per payment issued. 10% of each pay period held as a return allowance for about 12 weeks. No monthly subscription.
The fee is the price of the brand: 7.5% + $1 on every sale is real money at nutra volumes, and the pre-listing compliance review will send aggressive copy back for rewrites.
2. Digistore24, for US and EU tax handling
Best for: Vendors selling into the US and EU who want tax and VAT handled with no setup or monthly fee
The low-fee merchant of record for vendors who sell into both the US and the EU and want VAT and sales tax filed for them, paying only when a sale goes through.
No setup or monthly fee. Transaction fee starting at 2.9% + $1 per sale; the vendor says the final rate may vary by product type, traffic source and sales volume. Payout fees $2.50 ACH, $40 international wire.
The headline rate is a floor, not a quote. A nutra offer on paid traffic should expect to negotiate its real rate, and that number is not public.
3. BuyGoods, for proven health offers
Best for: Experienced health and wellness vendors with a proven offer or a referral
A curated health and wellness network for vendors who already have a converting offer or a referral, with its own checkout and split testing, and no public fee schedule.
No vendor fee schedule is published on BuyGoods-owned pages. Vendors apply through a form; entry is by recommendation, referral or proven track record.
You cannot price it before you apply. For a vendor comparing networks on fees, that is a wall, and a new offer without a track record may never get past the form.
4. JVZoo, for JV product launches
Best for: Digital product and software launches built around JV partners, leaderboards, and fast listing
The launch platform for digital products and software sold through affiliate partners and launch contests, taking 5% of each sale with your own Stripe or PayPal behind the checkout.
No setup or monthly fee. 5% platform fee per sale when using your own Stripe or PayPal; 8.5% per sale when using JVZoo payment processing.
It is a launch platform first. A physical supplement offer looking for evergreen paid-traffic affiliates will find a thinner crowd here than on the networks above it.
