    Hi All

    I need someone to help me out.

    I have a product I want to sell on my site as a one time offer and I use paypal ... when someone buys from me I want them to be directed to a download page, how do i go about setting this up?

    I have to make sure that the product download page is not going to be visible to the world on the seach engines and only available for paid members.

    thanks in advance for your help.

    Setup a buy now button under the "merchant services" in your account profile.

    For protecting your download links, you can check out a piece of software called DL Guard and/or put a password on your pdf, put a readme file in your zip file and require each buyer to email you to get the password, etc.

    hope that helps!

    cheers!

    I just signed up with them and it looks like they limit the size of the product upload, my file size is 897mb and i need a service that can handle that, any help would be much appreciated.

    I guess my other option to create a secure page on my site for purchasers to go to download their purchase, can any one help with that.

    thanks again.

    I know there are scripts that can do what you are looking for. start a bid on RAC and have a coder create what you are looking for, other wise, you will be looking forever, and still not find what you are looking for.

    You can hire a coder to code the script for you.
    Or if you want to save cost you can buy the pre made script such as http://www.idevspot.com/PayDownloadPal.php

    E-junkie does not limit the upload file size. However, the best way to do is to sign up for $18/month subscription plan and use E-junkie's "issue download from external server" feature.

    When E-junkie issues a download link for an externally-hosted file, the link itself appears and works exactly the same as if we were hosting the file, with the same access control, unique ID and link attempts/expiration settings. The only difference is that the link triggers a download stream from your server, through our Web cache, then to the buyer, so the file appears to be coming from our server rather than yours. At no point is the buyer ever exposed to the "real" static URL of the file on any server, nor can they tell the file was even remotely hosted, nor is there any way they could analyze the link or download process to discern the location of other files or access any files they did not purchase.
