Sell Digital Downloads

We are deprecating this plugin. You can use the PayPal Express Checkout plugin which is a simple and lightweight plugin to handle the selling of digital downloads using the PayPal Express Checkout API.

I needed an easy and lightweight plugin to sell digital downloads. I don’t want any kind of bloat in the plugin, so this plugin is not an elephant plugin. If you want to sell digital downloads via PayPal, this plugin will do the job nicely.

WordPress iSell is a simple WordPress plugin to sell digital downloads. It integrates flawlessly with PayPal. User interface (UI) of the plugin is very simple to use, I call this plugin for users, not for developers but developers should not feel left behind. I know how painful it is to modify client’s plugins and then find out after a few weeks or months that they had updated the plugin and boom! all changes are lost. There are filters and hooks for almost every important functionality in WP iSell.
