Hi all,
Are there any Indie Hackers out there who have charged for Chrome Extensions or can give advice on the best ways to do this?
I'm specifically thinking about scenarios where you've created a chrome extension and want to monetise it by straight-up charging for it. How would you list it on the extensions store and then charge for it?
I'm not a developer, so if there are any hosting sites (like a GumRoad for Chrome Extensions), I'd love to hear about them.
Cheers,
K
I'm trying to learn this too!
currently I'm doing a donation link into gumroad. and giving away a PDF download as thanks.
Have you seen Extension Pay by Indie Hacker @Glench?

Hey Alex, thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the Extension Pay link - it looks interesting.
What's your extension and what made you go towards the Gumroad route versus Extension Pay?
My extension is a tool that discovers your top-performing posts on LinkedIn

I didn't know Extension Pay existed and also it involves a little bit of coding and UX thinking that isn't necessary if I just drop in a button linked to a GumRoad page.
