Want to eventually sell plugins, but curious easiest / best ways to do this.
Any favorite sites / online e-commerce apps that make it easy to do custom layouts, embed demo videos, take credit card, send download via email, etc?

We use Wordpress with Paddle for payments, elementor for page building, a service for licensing our plugins which I can’t name and MailChimp and Aws lambda for CRM automations. But I’m sure there are way easier solutions for starting out small.

I’m using a Jekyll back end (static html generator) into S3/CloudFront with a Stripe payment link. The payment link handles licensing using a Heroku Python webhook and emails via HelpScout. It’s pretty easy to work with, everything can be deployed through continuous integration which has been a real time saver. There are some pretty decent themes and everything can be edited using markdown. So pretty easy for a solo programmer to maintain.
You can be the judge if the end result is actually any good at all: https://apu.software/

If all you want is to sell your plug-ins and you don’t need your own website, itch.io is a great marketplace to do so!
