It looks neat.

- Why Gumroad instead of Stripe/Paddle?

- How do you enforce licenses? Once they have the JS they can just stop paying?




Thanks!

- Back when I started I didn’t have a backend for customer accounts so it was useful that Gumroad handled that. Can upload a file and then allow access to active subscribers. Paddle didn’t, Stripe doesn’t handle EU VAT nonsense.

- I don’t. Pirates gonna Pirate. Customers have access to the last version released within their subscription period, license is perpetual.
