Gumroad recently added preorders to their digital sales offering. Topspin's ArtistLink now helps you sell albums via your MTV profile. And Square's new Market is looking good for merch sales. **Gumroad Adds Digital Preorders** D2F ecommerce service [Gumroad](http://www.gumroad.com/?ref=hypebot.com) recently announced the [addition of preorders](http://blog.gumroad.com/post/59500585422/counting-your-eggs-before-they-hatch-the-plus-sides-of?ref=hypebot.com) to their features.

They [recently announced](http://topspinmedia.tumblr.com/post/59420726945/sell-full-albums-on-mtv-artist-pages?ref=hypebot.com) the ability to offer full album downloads from MTV profiles for sale or free giveaway. **Square Market Recommended for Merch Sales** [Square](https://squareup.com/?ref=hypebot.com) is known for making it possible to accept credit card payments using mobile devices and their card reader. Earlier this summer they [launched Square Market](http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/26/square-market-launches/?ref=hypebot.com) to provide web stores for users. Merch and music sales at shows have been a popular use case for musicians and tunelab [recently reviewed](http://tunelab.com/2013/08/26/the-new-square-market-is-the-best-way-to-sell-merch-online/?ref=hypebot.com) Square Market for that purpose. Key plus: Cheaper than PayPal. Key drawback: No delivery of digital content. **More:** - [Gumroad's 19 Year Old Founder Raises $8.1 Million For Music eCommerce](https://www.hypebot.com/gumroads-19-year-old-founder-raises-81-million-for-music-ecommece/) - [Topspin Expands MTV Partnership, Adds Free Digital Sales Tools](https://www.hypebot.com/topspin-expands-mtv-partnership-adds-free-digital-sales-tools/) - [Once Again, Square Revolutionizes The Merch Table](https://www.hypebot.com/once-more-square-revolutionizes-the-merch-table/) *Hypebot Senior Contributor Clyde Smith ([@fluxresearch](https://twitter.com/fluxresearch?ref=hypebot.com)/[@crowdfundingm](https://twitter.com/crowdfundingm?ref=hypebot.com)) also blogs at [Flux Research](http://www.fluxresearch.com/?ref=hypebot.com) and [Crowdfunding For Musicians](http://www.crowdfundingformusicians.com/?ref=hypebot.com).
