External file storage
For some, WordPress' Media Library is not enough to host product files. For that reason, EDD supports content delivery tools like Amazon S3 and Dropbox for hosting product files.
Actively developed
Not a day goes by that EDD is not actively developed. Issue logging, bug fixing, and feature enhancements are a daily occurance for the development team and supporting contributors.
Open sourced & GPL
As a platform built on WordPress, EDD is licensed under GPLv3. To go a step further, EDD is also an open-source software with a dedicated community of developers and contributors.
Developer friendly
While there are hundreds of extensions available for use, being extensible means the options are limitless. Actions, filters, and smart coding make EDD a developer-friendly platform.
Intelligently designed
The effects of site design on customer behavior are well-known. EDD plays its role by including a base style that looks great as-is, but is also ready to integrate with any WordPress theme.
