Not sure there is any but you don't have to do that with eSellerate.  
The current version of the eSellerate SDK uses a browser instance  
within the software to take you through the purchase process on the  
esellerate server. You just make a call to the eSellerate SDK and it  
handles everything else. Of course the eSellerate SDK deals with other  
things besides just purchasing which some developers may need.

One of the benefits of purchasing from within the software is that the  
eSellerate SDK will return the license key. You can then register the  
software for the user. This does provide instant gratification and  
requires a few less steps for the user.
