Hey alluser,
I want you to be the first to know about something big that just happened in the WordPress world.
To be honest, I feel like I'm living in a dream.
We have acquired the plugins that help me make over $10M per year from my WordPress site and store.
Today, I'm extremely excited to share that Easy Digital Downloads, WP Simple Pay, AffiliateWP, and Sugar Calendar are joining the WPBeginner family of products.
Over 100,000 smart website owners use these plugins to generate hundreds of millions each year from their websites.

This is one of those rare life moments where things have come full circle.
These brands are very close to my heart because when I first started selling premium plugins in 2013, we used Easy Digital Downloads, and we still use EDD to power our eCommerce.
It makes it easy for me to sell our premium plugins, but it works for any digital download like music, art, eBooks, etc.
The best part is that it makes it easy to restrict access & updates to only paying members, and most importantly accept recurring payments.
We also use AffiliateWP to power our various affiliate programs.
And although I don't use it personally since I don't do consulting, I know of many business owners who're using WP Simple Pay on their website to accept one-time or recurring payments.
The best part about WP Simple Pay is that you can accept payments without setting up a complex cart.
This is great specially if you're running any type of service business such as catering, consulting, bookkeeping, landscaping, etc.
It helps you get rid of sending PDF invoices and receiving paper checks :D
Anyways, I have written a detailed blog post about the acquisition and the background story that also shares some exciting things that we're working on.
As always, I want to thank you for continued support of WPBeginner. None of this would be possible without you.
I look forward to bringing you more amazing solutions to help you grow your business.
