It uses Fastspring, a platform for selling digital products and services. I wasn’t looking forward to dealing with sales tax, VAT or coding some kind of digital fulfilment workflow so I went with them.
I deliberately did not go the route of the walled garden stores (iBooks Kindle etc.) since I liked the idea of providing DRM free files.
Thanks for your feedback though. What would you suggest as a way for indie authors to sell eBooks?
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoI've used FastSpring before, and never had that form show up. I'm used to just being sent directly to PayPal, clicking "Go For It" (or whatever), and then being redirected to your site.
- schrijver 5y agoOK I ran through the checkout process and see what form you mean. It’s true that entering details makes sense for the CC payment but not for Paypal. I use a readymade FastSpring storefront and not the more sophisticated JavaScript library, this is how it worked out of the box… I’ll get in touch with FastSpring support to see what to do about this.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoJust FYI. I got it anyway (using a spamex email). Looking forward to it.
