Hello everyone. I have created a simple software which I want to sell online. How do I setup the payment processing (paypal?) and how the users can download the software after they have paid for it? Is there something special that I should know? Thanks for help!
If I was you I would use xcart it's great ecommerce software. I have used it to make my website www.presentplanet.co.uk and it's simple to use. You can sell the item and ship it or the buyer can instantly download it. It's fully integrated with PayPal and many more payment processors Please let me know if you require any assistance
Yeah I forgot to say that buyers will download the software and the cost is about $2-$5. I dont need a shopping card, just easy one-click-payment If it could be possible to create coupon codes that would be great!
These guys are right that paypal has a buy button you can set up, though... You're either going to need to put that button on a website or in an email in order for someone to actually buy your product from you.

Paypal has a field where you can enter url where it redirects after the payment, but if people share that link then everyone can download it without paying?
