I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge of software distribution / payment processing platforms that they could recommend. In my case, I am dealing with downloadable Windows software, and I am hoping to find a service that provides homepage hosting & downloads as well as payment processing so I can (at least in the short run) forego the whole merchant account process & online payment acceptance (I've done it before and it's not
that bad, but for now I'd really rather just pay a percentage of sales fee and be done with it).
According to this article:

....the Windows store takes a 30% cut, which is the same as Apple I believe. So I guess that is comparatively "fair", but it is a little steep, and whereas the Apple store has a literal monopoly and you have no other options, for Windows software you have much more freedom.
Is there anything like this out there?
