hello!! could anyone plz help with the above question Suppose i am selling an ebook on a website, how do i provide an immediate download link to them when they pay via paypal for example? much appreciated
The simple answer is that you set the return URL to the download page. It is not really simple because you have to change it after a few sales or it will be shared on a lot of warez sites. That will get you started and if business is good you can look at one of the IPN scripts that provide an expiring download link that masks the real location of the download.
Linklok is a good script. And you pay for it once, not monthly. http://www.vibralogix.com/linklokipn/
I sell ebooks and I use a webscript called SmartDD, it automatically delivers your eBook to the buyer via email using an encyrpted link as soon as payment is made. Take a look - Click here to take a look
Just create a download page and when you create a 'buy now' paypal account, it will prompt you to enter in your download page URL. Hope that it will help you. For details, you could PM me...
