Now that Google deprecated Webstore Payments [0], what's the easiest way to charge money for a Chrome extension?<p>My extension [1] brings in $300-400 a month and I don't want to lose that.<p>[0] https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/cws-payments-deprecation<p>[1] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shortkeys-custom-keyboard/logpjaacgmcbpdkdchjiaagddngobkck/
Gumroad integration looks simple. Users buy a license key and you could verify the key via their API from your extension: <a href="https://help.gumroad.com/article/76-license-keys" rel="nofollow">https://help.gumroad.com/article/76-license-keys</a><p>I'm using Paddle for my paid Chrome extension (<a href="https://www.checkbot.io/" rel="nofollow">https://www.checkbot.io/</a>) but integration is more involved.<p>Paddle and Gumroad also tax care of all country specific tax + VAT for you, unlike say Stripe, which saves a ton of hassle and paperwork if you're in the EU anyway.
My own guess is that you could just setup your own custom payment pages and direct people towards that. But tbh, I'm not sure what the best way to do this is.
