Your best bet would be to use paypal and have people pay you through that on your website.

Yeah, we just use paypal for sales. As for marketing and all that, we were lucky enough to recently find a friend who knows about it... that's the hardest part I think, unless you have thousands of dollars to put into it of course. I have to check out that link Drew, thanks for posting that

ShareIt. In my mind, there's no doubt that ShareIt offers the most options for the best rates. Plimus is a 'worthy' alternative, although slightly limited compared to ShareIt.

Agreed --- I used ShareIt when I was selling games and it was largely hassle free

Just out of interest Jeku (or anyone else who has used ShareIt), how does their license key system work? Their site skims over it and just says they deliver "the license key (key list or static license key)" or offer a "key generator (Web-based key generators or files)".
Do they have some sort of API so your software can use their generated license keys? A big part of selling software online would be making sure its registered to someone to try and prevent them giving copies away to everyone without being traced.

@Zappo - I haven't used their license key system, but I've heard positive things about it. It's only a guess, but I assume they have an API you can use in your software. If you use it let us know how it works
