Digistore24 and ClickBank share the same model: open sign-up, products with ready sales pages and percentage commissions. What differs is the money and the link. On Digistore24, the link lasts up to 180 days (365 in regions like the US), payouts go out on up to four dates a month and only to companies. On ClickBank, the link lasts 60 days, payouts go out every Friday and the first one needs 5 sales from different customers.
The comparison that matters isn't the catalog
Both have thousands of offers, many in the same niches — health, wealth, relationships. Comparing catalogs gets you nowhere. What changes your day-to-day are three things: how long your link lasts, when the money goes out and what you need in order to receive it.

Which one should you choose?
- Choose by offer: what matters is what it pays and whether it converts with your traffic.
- Does your traffic take a while to convert (readers who come back days later)? Digistore24's longer link helps.
- Want weekly payouts early on? ClickBank pays every Friday once the first payout is unlocked.
- No company yet? Sort it out before selling on Digistore24 — without one, commissions don't get paid.
- Already on both: if the same offer exists on both, compare commission and refund rate.
On both, Google Ads advertisers need a page on their own domain before the sales page and a way to see every sale flow back to their ad platform. See how to sell Digistore24 on Google Ads and how to sell ClickBank on Google Ads.
