John Bracket – John Does Design
My whole business essentially runs on the Easy Digital Downloads plugin and I couldn’t be more comfortable or confident in the plugin to carry that load. The plugin itself is fantastic, it contains all of the functionality I could ever need as a seller of digital products and is incredibly robust, well-built and supported. The large selection of add-ons are all very reasonably priced, especially when you consider the return on investment and the obvious amount of work that’s gone into creating them.

When I started CalderaWP, I asked a few trusted WordPress friends what eCommerce plugin to use. They all said Easy Digital Downloads. They were right.
