Executive Summary

Many digital-first businesses and creators — an addressable population estimated at roughly 2,000,000 companies — still stitch together fragile post-purchase flows that leave customers waiting, engineers firefighting, and sales lost when delivery fails or is slow. The common pain is engineering cost and time: integrating payments, generating secure download links, packaging assets, and handling refunds and abuse consumes weeks of dev effort for a capability customers expect to happen instantly, ideally within 30 seconds of checkout. You could build a developer-first delivery platform that plugs directly into Stripe Checkout and automates the full path from successful payment to a signed, short-lived download or streaming session in under 30 seconds, using edge/serverless functions to generate signed URLs, on-the-fly packaging, per-product access rules, refund hooks, anti-abuse signals, and lightweight SDKs and webhooks so teams can be live with a single integration. Offerings would include white-label hosting, configurable SLAs, analytics and revenue reconciliation, and flexible pricing targeting a $3,000 ACV buyer profile to capture portions of the $6.0B market opportunity. This market is attractive now because developer-first payments, edge compute economics, and the steady shift to digital products lower the technical bar and raise willingness to pay; market and revenue potential scores (90/100 and 84/100) reflect that. To stand out you must be precise: deep, minimal-effort Stripe Checkout integration, rock-solid security (short TTL signed URLs, key rotation, region-aware CDNs), clear pricing, and anti-fraud tooling are differentiators versus medium-competition incumbents and DIY solutions. Be honest about the challenges — handling large/streaming media, DRM or region restrictions, and operating global bandwidth cost efficiently are non-trivial — but if you can deliver reliable, secure end-to-end delivery in <30s with a great developer experience, the economics and timing make this worth pursuing.

Executive Summary

Market Opportunity

Faster digital delivery: from Stripe checkout to secure download in 30s targets a $6.0B = 2,000,000 digital-first businesses x $3,000 ACV (platform fees, integrations, add-ons) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 15%.

Key trends driving demand: Developer-first payments -- platforms like Stripe emphasize extensible APIs that enable turnkey delivery integrations and richer post-purchase flows.; Edge/serverless compute -- edge functions and serverless reduce latency and infra costs for generating signed URLs and on-the-fly packaging.; Shift to digital products -- more creators and businesses sell software, ebooks, courses and media, increasing demand for reliable instant delivery.; Security & fraud focus -- buyers and platforms demand secure, time-limited access to assets, pushing adoption of signed URLs and delivery validation..

Key competitors include Gumroad, SendOwl, Payhip, Paddle, DIY: Stripe Checkout + AWS S3/CloudFront presigned-URLs (serverless pipeline).
