You're purchasing a fully operational online store — complete with a custom domain, professional design, real digital products, and a verified revenue history. Once the purchase is complete, you become the sole owner and receive 100% of all future income the business generates. Think of it as buying a franchise, but fully digital and without royalty fees.
How do I buy a business?
Browse our marketplace, find a store that matches your budget and interests, and click "Get This Business." You can choose a payment plan (12, 24, 36, or 48 months) and complete checkout in minutes. Once purchased, your personal advisor will contact you within 24 hours to begin the handover process.
Do I need experience to run a store?
No experience is needed. Most of our buyers have never run an online business before. Every purchase includes a complete setup guide, video tutorials, and a personal advisor who walks you through everything — from activating your store to processing your first sale. The stores are designed to be beginner-friendly.
How quickly will I start seeing income?
Most new owners see their first orders within 24–48 hours of launching ads. Your store already has products, customer reviews, and optimized pages — you're not starting from zero. Your advisor will help you set up your first ad campaign to start driving traffic immediately.
What's included with my purchase?
Every store comes with: a premium custom domain, professional store design, all digital products and content, full revenue history and analytics, a personal business advisor, marketing templates, ad campaign guides, and ongoing platform support. Everything you need to start earning from day one.
What does my personal advisor do?
Your advisor (like Sarah Mitchell) is a dedicated business expert who guides you through every step: store activation, first ad campaigns, revenue optimization, and ongoing strategy. You can chat with them anytime for personalized recommendations. They're your partner in making the business successful.
💳 Payments & Pricing
How much does a business cost?
Businesses range from $1,200 to $20,000 depending on revenue, niche, and product catalog size. With our flexible installment plans, you can start from as low as $100/month — and $0 is due today. Your first payment isn't due for 30 days, so you can see the business earn before you pay. The monthly payment is typically much less than what the store earns — so the business pays for itself.
What payment plans are available?
We offer four installment options: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, and 48 months. The longer the plan, the lower your monthly payment. For example, a $3,120 store costs $260/mo on 12 months or just $65/mo on 48 months. No interest is charged on any plan — the total price is the same no matter which option you choose. Your first payment starts in month two.
Are there any hidden fees?
No hidden fees, ever. The price you see is the price you pay. There are no setup fees, transaction fees, or surprise charges. Your monthly installment is the only cost. The Sellvia platform subscription ($39/month) is included free for your first 30 days, and your advertising budget is the only thing billed to your card during that time.
Can I cancel my payment plan?
Yes. Contact our support team to discuss changes to your payment plan. We believe in full transparency and flexibility. If you need to adjust your payment schedule, we'll work with you to find a solution.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), as well as PayPal. All transactions are processed through PCI-compliant payment processors for maximum security.
Can I pay the full price upfront?
Yes! You can pay the full price in a single payment. There's no mandatory installment plan — choose whatever works best for your budget. Contact your advisor to arrange a one-time payment.
🏫 Managing Your Store
Can I manage everything from my phone?
Yes. The Sellvia app lets you track revenue, manage orders, and communicate with your advisor — all from your smartphone. You can check real-time sales, respond to customers, and monitor your business performance from anywhere. No computer required for day-to-day management.
How much time does it take to run a store?
Most successful store owners spend 30 minutes to 1 hour per day on their business. The stores are designed to run semi-automatically — orders are fulfilled by the platform, customer service templates are provided, and your advisor handles strategy. It's a true side business, not a full-time job.
Can I add or change products?
Yes. You have full control over your product catalog. You can add new products from the Sellvia library (thousands available), remove underperformers, adjust pricing, and customize product descriptions. Your advisor can help you identify the best products for your niche.
How do I receive my revenue?
Revenue is deposited directly into your connected payment account. You set up your preferred payment method (bank account or PayPal) during onboarding. Payouts are processed regularly, and you can track all earnings in your dashboard in real time.
Do I need to run ads?
Running ads (primarily Facebook and Google) is the most effective way to drive traffic and sales. Your advisor provides ready-made ad templates, targeting recommendations, and budget suggestions. Most owners start with $5-10/day in ad spend and scale up as revenue grows.
Can I sell my store later?
Yes. Once you own the business, you're free to sell it to someone else. Many owners grow their stores and sell them at a profit. You can list it back on Sellvia Market or sell it privately. The business is your asset.
🛡️ Trust & Safety
How is the revenue verified?
Every store runs on the Sellvia platform, where all sales, orders, and revenue are tracked in real time. The numbers you see are platform-verified, not self-reported. We also conduct a 90-day revenue audit using analytics, payment processor records, and third-party verification before listing any store.
What is the 30-day income guarantee?
If your store generates less than 50% of the stated monthly revenue within your first 30 days (while following the recommended setup steps), you're eligible for a full refund. No fine print, no complicated process — just contact your advisor and we'll process it. This guarantee exists because we're confident in the quality of our businesses.
Is Sellvia a legitimate company?
Sellvia was founded in 2016 in Irvine, California. The company is a Forbes Communications Council member (since 2020), was ranked #1818 on the Inc. 5000 list (2022), and is part of the Entrepreneur Leadership Network (since 2025). Over 40,000 stores run on our platform with a 4.7-star average rating across review platforms.
How is my personal data protected?
We use 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmission, PCI DSS-compliant payment processors, and never store your credit card information on our servers. We're fully GDPR and CCPA compliant. Your personal data is never sold to third parties. You can request data deletion at any time.
What if my store doesn't perform as expected?
First, your personal advisor will work with you to diagnose and fix any issues — often it's a simple optimization in ad targeting or product positioning. If the store still underperforms, our 30-day income guarantee has you covered. We succeed when you succeed, so our team is fully invested in your results.
What is the verification process?
Every store passes a 6-step verification: (1) Revenue Audit — 90 days of income verified, (2) Traffic Validation — no bots or fake traffic, (3) Product Quality Check — all products reviewed, (4) Legal & IP Review — proper licensing confirmed, (5) Operational Stress Test — business sustainability confirmed, (6) Final Approval — only then does the store receive the "Verified by Sellvia" badge.

📊 Market Insights
How big is the e-commerce market?
Global e-commerce sales exceeded $6.3 trillion in 2024 and are projected to reach $8.1 trillion by 2026. The digital products segment is one of the fastest-growing, with margins of 70-90% compared to 20-40% for physical goods. This means there's never been a better time to own a digital business.
Why are digital product stores so profitable?
Digital products have near-zero marginal costs — once created, they can be sold unlimited times with no inventory, shipping, or manufacturing expenses. A digital store with 40+ products can generate $200-500/month in passive revenue with minimal ongoing effort. Compare that to physical retail, where margins are typically 10-30%.
Is a side online business realistic for regular people?
Absolutely. Over 36% of Americans now have a side hustle, and e-commerce is the fastest-growing category. With ready-made stores like those on Sellvia Market, the barrier to entry has dropped dramatically. You don't need coding skills, design experience, or business degrees — just 30-60 minutes per day and a willingness to learn.
What are the most profitable niches right now?
Based on our marketplace data, the top-performing niches in 2025-2026 are: Health & Wellness (growing 23% YoY), Finance & Investing (high ticket, strong demand), Home & Kitchen (evergreen), and Beauty & Skincare (loyal repeat customers). However, the best niche for you depends on your interests and budget — our advisors can help match you.
Can a small online store compete with Amazon?
You're not competing with Amazon — you're serving a different market. Niche digital stores succeed because they offer specialized, curated content that mass-market platforms don't. A yoga workout guide store serves a specific audience that Amazon's general marketplace can't match. The key is specialization, not scale.
How does an online business compare to other investments?
The average Sellvia Market store generates 300-500% annual ROI on the purchase price. Compare that to the stock market (8-10% annual average), real estate (10-15%), or a savings account (4-5%). Plus, unlike passive investments, you're building an asset you can grow and sell later at a premium.
