#34I've sold about a thousand dollars thru Gumroad. http://gumroad.com I like the design. I like the simplicity. People can just use their CC like normal. They take a percentage of your sales, but so far found it worth it. I wish it had order tracking (just a box I could tick when I shipped something would be nice) but that is irrelevant for downloads.
Might just be me, but gumrouad's website offers me no help in trying to make a decision. I'd like to see the actual checkout process and what it looks like but it keeps giving me a signup page.

Do you have tiered pricing? Say I wanted to offer a couple versions of a product with a few different levels of features?

#36I use e-junkie for growthhackinghandbook.com
Flat monthly fee. Their admin UI is clunky, their checkout pages are basic but functional, but they solve a number of problems* without asking for a percentage cut of sales.
I think for basic stuff they work just fine. I'm just selling one ebook and I just wasn't comfortable with having a cut of my sales taken AND my funds being withheld by a third party before some weekly or monthly remittance. With e-junkie the funds go straight to my PayPal account where I can use the money immediately (I constantly pay for things via PayPal).
*obfuscating download path, handling coupons, handling multiple downloads etc

You can do that in Snappy Checkout by creating separate products. Here's an example of where I do that with one of my products:

#39I'm pretty impressed with SendOwl. I like the flat monthly fee and generous bandwidth allowance. So far, I've not done a great volume of sales, but my customers have already remarked on how quickly the 0.8GB video file downloaded. So the core functionality seems sound. I'm looking forward to using their affiliates feature to help market my future products.
