The Stan Store alternative for creators who work with brands.
Stan Store is a clean storefront for selling digital products, courses, and coaching. If your business is selling your own offers, it makes that fast.
Cabana Studio vs Stan Store
Stan Store is a creator storefront, strongest at selling digital products, courses, and coaching through a simple link.
Cabana Studio is for the other half of the creator economy: brand deals. It turns each brand inquiry into a tracked deal, handles approval-gated payments and net-terms invoices, reads contracts for you, and runs a weekly growth brain - so the money from partnerships is managed as carefully as the money from your store.

Stan Store vs Cabana - your questions
Is Cabana Studio a good Stan Store alternative?+
It depends what you sell. Stan Store is built for selling digital products, courses, and coaching through a simple storefront. Cabana is built for brand deals - tracking inquiries, approving and invoicing them, reading contracts, and pricing your reach. Many creators use a store for their own offers and Cabana for partnerships; if brand deals are your main income, Cabana is designed for exactly that.
Does Cabana let me sell digital products like Stan Store?+
Cabana's focus is brand-deal management, not a digital-product storefront. If selling courses or downloads is your core business, a store tool like Stan is a better fit for that piece. Cabana complements it by running the brand-partnership side as a tracked, paid pipeline.
How do payments work on Cabana?+
Through Stripe, approval-gated. You approve a deal, then send an instant checkout link or a formal net-terms invoice; the money routes straight to your bank, with Cabana's flat plan fee and Stripe processing withheld and itemized on your ledger.
