Our world-class support team is here to help you sell digital products successfully. Whether you're setting up your first digital store or scaling an established ecommerce business, we've got you covered.

= Better Than Gumroad, Etsy, Shopify & Other Platforms for Selling Digital Products =

If you've looked at platforms to sell digital products online, you've probably seen Gumroad, Etsy, Shopify, Payhip, Sellfy, SendOwl, Lemon Squeezy, Podia, Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Ko-fi, Whop, Paddle, and FastSpring. They're popular for selling digital products, but they come with a catch.

SaaS platforms charge monthly fees that eat into your digital product revenue. Marketplaces like Etsy and Gumroad take a large cut of every digital product sale, charge listing fees, and own your customer relationships. With Easy Digital Downloads, you own your digital store, your customer data, and your revenue. No monthly platform fees, no listing fees, and no marketplace commissions on your digital product sales.

Easy Digital Downloads gives you the freedom to sell digital products on your own WordPress site with the same powerful ecommerce features as these platforms, plus the flexibility to customize your digital store. Stop renting your business on someone else's platform.

== Upgrade Notice ==
IMPORTANT: Upgrading from Easy Digital Downloads 2.x to 3.0+ is a major release that includes many improvements and changes. You will be asked to perform database maintenance once installed. Please ensure you make a backup of your site prior to upgrading. Your site should remain functional during this maintenance, but as with all updates, it is best to make a backup of your site prior to updating.

Easy Digital Downloads 3.0+ was a substantial change to the way that EDD stores data and builds reporting. If you've created any custom integrations for payment processors, file downloads, billing changes, subscriptions, or custom reporting you will want to ensure you test these changes on a staging copy of your site before running the upgrade.
