New Wallet extension for managing deposits

A few weeks ago our team released an extension called Wallet for managing a deposit system for your Easy Digital Downloads store. With Wallet, customers can deposit funds into their account at anytime and then use those funds later on to make purchases on your site. This is a perfect extension for marketplaces that wish to use deposited funds for purchases, similar to Theme Forest and the other Envato marketplaces.
