CopeCart Offers Two Models: Reseller and Pro

CopeCart US is built for digital entrepreneurs, coaches, course creators, and high-ticket consultants.

CopeCart US Provides Complete Payment Infrastructure

CopeCart gives you the choice between two sales models. With the Reseller model, CopeCart acts as Merchant of Record and takes on full legal responsibility – including tax compliance in the EU, USA, and UAE. With CopeCart Pro, you sell under your own name at lower rates. Both models: no monthly base fees.

Ablefy Also Offers Two Models: Seller and Reseller

Lemon Squeezy is built for software companies, SaaS businesses, and developers selling digital downloads and subscriptions.

Stripe is a Payment Processor

Ablefy (formerly Elopage) combines course hosting with payment processing. You choose between Seller mode (you're the contracting party) or Reseller mode (Ablefy handles contracts). Monthly base fees starting at €39 (~$42) are required in all plans.

Costs & Fees

No Fixed Costs vs. Monthly Base Fees

With CopeCart, there's no monthly base fee – neither in the Reseller model nor with CopeCart Pro. You only pay on successful transactions. All features are included.

With Ablefy, you pay between €39 and €549 monthly (~$42–$595) – whether you make sales or not. Additional features like video hosting or advanced integrations cost extra through their app store.

CopeCart Pro (Seller): Competitive rates, contact for custom pricing*
CopeCart Reseller: Competitive rates, contact for custom pricing*
PayVa and other BNPL options: Already integrated, no surcharge

Global Tax Compliance vs. DACH Focus

CopeCart provides automatic tax compliance in the Reseller model for the EU (all countries), USA, and UAE. Sell globally without worrying about local tax regulations or filing requirements.

Ablefy is primarily designed for the German-speaking market. Their tax automation focuses on Germany and the EU. For international sales outside Europe, you're on your own.

Collections Included vs. Dunning from Advanced Plan Only

CopeCart handles complete receivables management in both models: automatic payment reminders, handoff to professional collections partners, and legal collection procedures – at no extra cost.

With Ablefy, automated dunning is only available starting with the Advanced plan (€49+/month). Full collections management including legal proceedings is not documented.

Which Model Is Right for You?

CopeCart Reseller

CopeCart is the contracting party with your customers
Automatic tax compliance for EU, USA, UAE
12 consolidated statements instead of hundreds of invoices
Zero accounting overhead for international sales

CopeCart Pro (Seller Model)

You act as the seller of record
Lowest transaction fees
Ideal if you already have a business entity and handle taxes yourself
Full dunning and collections still included

When Does Each Platform Make Sense?

Ablefy might work if you:

Sell primarily in German-speaking markets (DACH region)
Need an integrated course platform with page builder
Can cover the monthly fixed costs with your revenue

CopeCart is the better choice if you:

Don't want to pay monthly fees regardless of sales
Want flexibility to choose between Seller and Reseller models
Want to sell internationally (EU, USA, UAE)
Need professional collections in every plan
Sell in multiple languages (4 languages in checkout)

Fixed Costs Add Up
Even before you make your first sale, Ablefy charges you monthly. Over a year, that's $504–$7,140 in base fees alone – before any transaction costs.
With CopeCart, your first dollar of revenue isn't eaten up by platform fees. Whether you choose Pro or Reseller, you invest in growth – not overhead.

CopeCart US provides direct access to more BNPL solutions than Paddle, specifically designed for high-ticket offers from $1,000 to $25,000+.

PayVa: 97% approval rate, financing up to $20,000, works with credit scores from 520-850
Klarna: For purchases up to $10,000 with longer-term options
Affirm: Flexible installment options for US buyers
Afterpay: Ideal for amounts under $4,000
PayPal Buy Now, Pay Later integration

With Paddle's standard payment options, typical BNPL approval rates range from 40-47%. CopeCart's PayVa option closes 97% of the time—meaning more sales, especially on high-ticket items.

Sell Flexibly – With the Model That Fits You

Whether you want full control with CopeCart Pro or prefer the hassle-free Reseller solution: CopeCart charges no monthly base fees and includes professional collections management in both models.
