I’ve been quiet over the last few weeks, so today is a fun day: I get to give you a sneak peek at what I’ve been working on.

It’s called AppExchange Checkout and it’s a new way to buy and sell apps for our platform.  When you set up a listing, we can now help you complete sales and process payments.  We’ve partnered with recurrent billing expert Recurly to make this happen, so you’ll also get a very powerful subscriber management system out of the box.

Here’s what your customers will see when they decide to try your app (click to enlarge):

Pretty sweet, right?

You know what’s even sweeter?  Well here’s a hint.  I have the distinct pleasure of making a very special announcement on Thursday March 15.

Hey, that’s the same day as Cloudforce San Francisco & Cloudstock.

What a surprising coincidence!

That’s it for now.  You’re going to love AppExchange Checkout.  And, if you’re a developer, you’re going to love what I get to tell you about on Thursday.
