I have developed a useful Google Sheets script as a Google Apps Script (GAS). What's the best way to sell it? I know you can publish an add-on in the Google store but it seems that's only for free downloads? Or maybe I can set up a shopify website and have people download the script? But then how do I prevent people from just copying it / torrenting it? Not sure about the best way to sell this thing. But it's useful and I couldn't find a working version myself so I had it developed. I'm sure there are other people who would buy this because I would have if I found it available at the time.

Create a website that integrates with Google Sheets and runs the script. Or sell the script on Gumroad - there is all kinds of interesting stuff there.

Thanks for the response. I've posted a job on upwork for someone to advise me how to figure this out. Do you think that is the best place to look for developing a roadmap on how to execute on this or are there more software / ecommerce-specific websites out there where you can hire people with this type of experience?
