Stan Store has become popular with creators who want to sell digital products from their link in bio. But its strength is course and coaching infrastructure, not lightweight, premium profile presentation.
AstroLink takes a different approach: a fast, minimal link-in-bio page first, then Pro tools for digital sales, enquiries, free download leads, and richer branding when you need them.
AstroLink vs Stan Store
Why creators choose AstroLink over Stan Store.
Faster pages, stronger branding, and a cleaner fit for digital-download sellers.
Link-in-bio built in
Stan Store is primarily a storefront. AstroLink combines a fast link-in-bio page with a built-in store, giving your audience links, products, and your brand in one place.
Sub-second page loads
AstroLink pages load in under a second. Faster pages mean more engaged visitors, lower bounce rates, and more completed purchases.
Built for digital-download sellers
Stan Store is stronger for structured courses and coaching. AstroLink is better suited to creators who want digital downloads, strong profile customisation, and a faster link-in-bio experience.

FAQs
Common questions about switching from Stan Store.
Why switch from Stan Store to AstroLink?
The main reasons are simplicity and fit. AstroLink gives you a faster link-in-bio page, stronger brand customisation, inbound enquiries, free download leads, and digital product sales in one place. Stan Store is still a stronger choice if your business depends on structured courses, coaching flows, or memberships.
When is Stan Store actually cheaper than AstroLink?
Stan Store can be the cheaper option if its flat monthly fee and 0% transaction fees matter more to you than AstroLink's premium bio-page features. AstroLink is the better fit when you want a combined profile, enquiries, free download leads, and digital-download sales experience with yearly billing available.
What does Stan Store do that AstroLink doesn't?
Stan Store offers online courses with modules and drip content, membership subscriptions, coaching/appointment booking, built-in email marketing (on Creator Pro at $99/month), and more product types. If you need these features, Stan Store is the more complete platform. AstroLink focuses on digital file sales with lower fees.
Does AstroLink have a link-in-bio page like Stan Store?
Yes, and it's better. AstroLink's link-in-bio page loads in under one second, includes custom themes, analytics, social links, and a profile section. Stan Store includes a basic link page, but AstroLink's is purpose-built for speed and engagement.
Can I sell courses on AstroLink?
You can sell course files (videos, PDFs, downloads) as digital products. However, AstroLink doesn't currently offer structured course hosting with modules, progress tracking, or drip content like Stan Store does. For simple downloadable courses, AstroLink works well. For structured learning experiences, Stan Store or a dedicated platform like Teachable may be better.
How do I migrate from Stan Store?
Download your digital files from Stan Store, sign up for AstroLink Pro, upload your products, and connect your Stripe account (you can use the same one). The whole process takes about 15 minutes. Your existing customers retain their downloads from Stan Store.
Does AstroLink support email marketing?
AstroLink doesn't include built-in email marketing. We recommend dedicated tools like ConvertKit, Beehiiv, or Mailchimp for email. This keeps AstroLink fast and focused, and lets you choose the best email tool for your needs.
Can I use AstroLink's free plan and just link to Stan Store?
Yes. If you want to keep Stan Store for selling but want a faster bio page, you can use AstroLink's free plan to create a link-in-bio page that links to your Stan Store products. This gives you the best of both worlds.
