Paypal setup question

by amirfl

I've finally created and uploaded my first digital product (its a downloadable flash presentation + pdf file).
After setting up the "pay now" button and running a test purchase, I realized that I have a small problem. Currently, after payment the customer is sent to a download page but paypal does not send a link to that page by email. I want to be able to send an email with a link to the product, so the customer can find it in the future if he loses it. Is there a way to get this done automatically on every purchase?
Thanks

    Hi,

    What you could do is have a page with your download link loaded into an auotresponder.

    Ya know how when you create your Paypal button it gives you the option of controlling where the customer goes after making the purchase?

    Just send them from checkout to an opt-in page... so they get a copy of the D/L link via email.

    After they opt-in you can direct them to the page you're directing them to right now.

    Hope this helps you out

    I'd recommend taking a look at E-Junkie. You can use it to take Paypal payments and it will automatically handle secure product delivery. This actually works better than sending out a single link, as it prevents people just handing your download location around.

    I use them for just about everything and have found them to be excellent. You can check them out here: E-junkie Shopping Cart for selling downloads & tangible goods
