WPForms: An Easy to Use and Powerful WordPress Forms Plugin
I have been using e-junkies for my paid digital download product, I have heard about Gumroad, but was looking for something that was going to be integrated on the wp cms package.
Thanks for sharing as I am heading to try the Checathlon plugin
