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

Yep, depends on your needs and what plugin, platform or service will meet them. As with Checathlon, being a theme, it can probably work with most WordPress friendly solutions.
