A Carrd alternative for selling one product with cash on delivery
Carrd is a cheap, flexible one-page builder, but for selling a product its custom and payment forms need the Pro Plus plan and payments go through Stripe, so a cash-on-delivery offer means building the sales page and the order flow yourself. LandEmpire is made for that case: a one-product sales page with a COD order form, phone checks and an order inbox, on a free plan or from $8 a month.

What Carrd does well
Carrd is one of the cheapest ways to put a good-looking one-page site online. As of November 2026, the free plan allows up to three sites. Pro Standard costs $19 a year for 10 sites with a custom domain and contact or signup forms, and Pro Plus costs $49 a year for 25 sites with custom forms and Stripe payment forms. Pro Lite, from $9 a year, has no forms.
For a portfolio, a link-in-bio page, a waitlist or a digital product paid by card up front, Carrd is hard to beat on price. If that is your case, stay with it.
Where a COD product page needs more than a form
Cash on delivery works differently from a card payment. The buyer leaves a name, phone and address, someone confirms the order by phone or messenger, and the buyer pays the courier. In Carrd you assemble this from general-purpose elements: a custom order form needs Pro Plus, and submissions go to email, a URL, Zapier, Make, n8n or Airtable, so everything after the submit button is yours to wire up. A COD product page needs:
- A sales layout for one product: offer, price with the old price crossed out, timer, reviews, delivery terms, guarantee and FAQ
- A form with the phone format and address fields of the buyer's country
- A phone check that stops junk numbers before they cost you a call
- Protection from double orders when someone taps the button twice
- One place to work the orders: a dashboard, notifications, a sheet or a CRM
- Ad pixels with an order event, so Meta, TikTok or Google can optimize

What a LandEmpire product page includes
Start from a product link or one of 12 ready-made templates. Paste a URL from AliExpress, Amazon, eBay, a Shopify store or most online shops, and in about 20 seconds the importer pulls the photos, price, description and specs and writes the sales copy from those facts.
The page is built from 33 block types made for selling one product: a discounted price, sale timer, stock left, reviews with photos, before and after, bundle picker, what's in the box, delivery and payment, how to use, size finder, quiz and a spin-the-wheel discount, plus a sticky order bar. Switch between 10 color themes and edit every block. Try it with any product link on the demo page.
Orders, not just form submissions
Every order lands in your LandEmpire dashboard and, if you turn them on, in your email and Telegram (on Free, up to 3 orders a month). The form checks phone numbers in the format of the buyer's country, with presets for 77 countries that also add the courier address fields in one click, and rejects junk; the same name and phone within five minutes count as one order. After the order, the buyer can tap Confirm in WhatsApp to message you, or be sent to your own thank-you page or payment link.
From Start you add your own domain and Meta, TikTok and Google pixels, which fire a conversion event on every order. From Pro, orders go to Google Sheets, a CRM such as HubSpot or Pipedrive, or a webhook, and you can A/B test versions of the page. More on the flow in the COD landing page guide.
What it doesn't do
LandEmpire is narrower than Carrd: it builds sales pages for one product, not portfolios, link-in-bio pages or general websites, and it has 12 product-page templates. There is no card checkout on the page: buyers leave their details for cash on delivery or payment after confirmation, and you can redirect them to your own payment link after the order. Pages on Free, Start and Pro show a small Made with LandEmpire badge; Business removes it.
Plans are billed in USD through Paddle, our merchant of record (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal); if your card is in another currency, your bank converts the amount. Pages are left-to-right only; Arabic and Hebrew layouts are not supported yet.
Frequently asked questions
Is Carrd good for selling products?
For one item paid by card up front, yes: Carrd Pro Plus ($49 a year as of November 2026) adds Stripe payment forms. For cash on delivery, Carrd gives you a general form whose submissions go to email or an integration, while a COD builder like LandEmpire adds the sales blocks, the order list and the phone and address fields for each country.
Can Carrd do cash on delivery?
Carrd's payment forms use Stripe. For cash on delivery you would use a custom form without payment, which needs Pro Plus, and handle the submissions by email or through Zapier, Make, n8n or Airtable.
Which is cheaper, Carrd or LandEmpire?
Carrd: Pro Standard is $19 a year and Pro Plus $49 a year. LandEmpire: a free plan with one page and 3 orders a month, then $8, $19 or $39 a month. If you only need a page and a form, Carrd costs less.
Do I need Shopify to sell one product on a landing page?
No. Carrd and LandEmpire both host the page themselves. LandEmpire also collects and stores the orders, so for cash on delivery you need no store, no cart and no payment processor.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Carrd needs Pro Standard or higher for a custom domain. LandEmpire includes one domain on Start ($8 a month), 10 on Pro and 50 on Business, with the SSL certificate issued automatically.
Can I move my Carrd page to LandEmpire?
There is no tool that turns a Carrd page into LandEmpire blocks. The fastest way is to paste the link of the product you sell, from your supplier or a marketplace, let LandEmpire build a new page, and then copy over your own texts and photos.
Is there a free trial of the paid features?
A new account gets 7 days of Pro without a card, once per person, and the free plan stays available after that.
