If every sale means you check WhatsApp, confirm a transfer screenshot, and email a file, you have a job that pays per email. You can't sell while asleep, on holiday, or at church. Twenty sales a month is your ceiling; a hundred is impossible.
Customer buys at 2AM → payment confirms (card, or bank transfer with proof) → the store emails a download link → link expires after a few downloads → you wake up to money and a receipt already sent. No screenshots, no 'did you get it?'.
