How/Where do you actually market/sell your plugins?

@hisefilo I would also recommend Flodesk - great pricing model (they charge you a fixed low fee monthly, and don’t limit your audience or emails sent), good automation features and nice design options. Quite possibly the best newsletter service I used so far. And I used a lot.

@tomekslesicki did you try the Amazon AWS email service? It's literally pennies.

I use Amazon SES with a plugin called The Newsletter on Wordpress. It really does the job for a few dollars.

The only downside is that it is integrated into the Wordpress system so it uses the sources of the server, and has a limit on the number of hourly emails. If set above the limit capacity, it creates problem on the site.

But other than that, it beats MailChimp and many other services.

@orange I used to use The Newsletter too, very good, but check out FluentCRM it does this same thing but also has automations.

@d-healey I’ll check that thanks

@d-healey is it paid for the automation stuff?

[d.healey]

@DanH Nope, it's all included and integrates with WooCommerce.

@d-healey David, did you talk about tax collection issues and MoR pricing? I recently found out about www.polar.sh and they seem to be a good new deal.

Plus the open source angle.

[d.healey]

@aaronventure Looks like it's an all-in-one solution so I would have to put my products with them instead of on my WooCommerce site, is that correct?

For VAT I'm all set, it's just US taxes I was thinking a MoR would be of benefit for me. I'm considering Stripe tax, they charge $0.50 per 10 API requests per transaction, but I can limit it to just the few states that have an economic nexus thing, so shouldn't cost me too much.

[aaronventure]

@d-healey Yeah, it's an all in one, but the fees are a lot lower than their competitors.

You could also just serve your US customers with the Polar checkout.

[d.healey]

@aaronventure I don't see that I could integrate this into my current WooCommerce site, and my licensing system is very dependent on that.
