How to sell downloadable files?


Futurama

Recommended Posts

Ok, as many of you know I produce music but recently I have started programming sound patches for Reason 3.0

 

 

 

Ok that means nothing to you. But basically, if i program enough good quality patches, I should be able to sell a pack of them as a .zip

 

 

 

I'm looking for some sort of content management system which will allow me to sell these. Anyone have any ideas, because im basically stuck.

Grab a script that links into PayPal

Something like this. Search around i'm sure somone will have written a free version.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you wanted to be really lazy youd just use the Merchant tools on paypal. And basicly just put a link to the download in the confirmation email sent to the buyer after payment. Ill gladly help you out with this Rob but its not really very secure in that if the url gets leaked anyone could download the file.

^^ Yup, hence why i wont be using that system :)

 

 

 

I need something that does something like send a temporary password to the user and they can download it for the next hour or something. That or just a properly programmed script which takes the money and takes them to a place to securely download the file...and i've no idea how something liek that would work :D

I can write a php script for you. I just gotta learn how to make the password change on its own every 2 hours or so. but that shouldnt be too hard to do something very similar to the random image thingy( i would think) once i figure out how i set that up and it activates a php script that changes the database fields to blah blah pass and info such as time last changed and time changed now. then when they buy it i.....acutally new idea in the middle of writing this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Set up checkout sysem....And have the download page for a song and it will accept multiple passwords that are stored in a database. When the person pays for the song it sends them to a next page and activates a phpscriipt via POST method which sends a sql query to the database inputting a password, creation time, and termination time. Then set it somehow for that record to be earased from the database after an hour or so
