hey guys, I'm looking for a commerce software which allows me to sell digital downloads. The downloads will be in the form of ~500kb .zip files, and each product will have a download. Are there any softwares with such a feature or a plguin for osCommerce which allows me to do this? Thanks in advance!
Try integrating any eCommerce script like zencart with a processor that provides the download after payment without an external link (e.g EJunkie, 2checkout)
Hi, You can try with AJ Shopping Cart which is best user,seo friendly shopping cart software for both physical & well as digital download products.
I don't have the budget for an AJ product. I tried magento but I couldn't get any content to appear on the index. Thanks for the answers guys, but I'm still searching!
NopCommerce,AJ Shopping Cart and OsCommerce are the best ecommerce software for digital download products
digital downloads - I'm pretty sure I came across a wordpress plugin a little while ago that did exactly this. perhaps do a search for "wordpress plugin digital downloads" or similar.
PrestaShop does this perfectly, you can choose max times item can be download ect. If you want a custom theme for prestashop drop me a PM. We can even do monthly packages, plus were in the UK
If you need to show products on the homepage. Just add the following line to your content in the Homepage {{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="products_homepage" category_id="your category id here" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}} Go to Contents tab using CMS->Pages->Homepage path. Also hide the editor using Show/Hide Editor button before adding the above block.
if you sell digital downloads, I think that you shouldn't complicate things with software like OSCommerce. From my experience it requires lots of time and resources to set up, when you want to save them in your business. A much simpler solution that I found is to set up a fairly simple website with product display and description with links to order pages (through a software registration service). For example I sell software online, I signed up with Paypro Global (there are many others that do it as well), they provided me with branded order pages for my products, they look exactly like my website. The checkout process is very simple and fast and gives me lots of payment methods. And in the end it's much cheaper and faster to set up. Also I have everything in one place as product management tools and marketing tools, business reports, lead management etc.
It could be done in magento, but if you're not afraid of using other platforms, it can be done rather easily in Django using the Satchless [1] framework. I'm personally not a fan of the finicky system, that is Magento. Yuck. OsCommerce? Not even better. [1] github.com/mirumee/satchless
