    Hi Everyone,

    Just wondering if anyone has sold downloads using paypal and possibly knows where i can get a free script to do this.

    The site is for a friend of mine, cheap*** isn;t willing to pay the $10 or so for scripts already wrote out there.

    Any ideas appreciated!

    Tom

    Payloadz charge after the first $100.

    Moding it a "tincy bit" is where I was hoping someone would already have a script done to save me spending time on it! :)

    osCommerce ships with the download feature with it, all you have to is tick a check box, setup some variables and upload the files to be downloaded to a folder

    when i said modding i meant changing the layout of the store so it doesnt look "out of the box" so to speak, so you'll have to get your hands dirty (its not that difficult anyways) and your going to get charged by anyone processing payments and if a low volume of sales is expected i'd personally recommend using Paypal

    when you install osCommerce you go to the admin section and in the side menu you'll see download simply check enable download there

    once thats done anything you want to be downloadable you have to add a "product attribute" including the full file name (make sure the file is in the download folder otherwise it wont work)

    sorry man - i didnt realise you said oscommerce!! I thought you were talking about paypal!

    It's not worth installing osCommerce for as it's only one product. But thanks anyway!
