Protect download links and URLs

3 replies
Hey guys!

I have a quick question here..

I sell digital stuff over the internet so people automatically download my products after a purchase.

Now lets say that the process is something like this. A person choses a product, reads the salesletter, presses the PayPal "Buy Now" button and enters his credit card information.

When this process is over, they will be redirected from paypal to a special URL. On this URL my digital product is available for download.

I need to protect this URL, because if you can just copy it and give it to friends, obviously people will start stealing from me.

So how do I make that page accessible only, when someone buys a product?

Do you guys use special scripts or programms?

Thanks in advance!

    To protect my download links and files, I use programs
    such as DLGuard or RapidActionProfits.

    Both of these programs allow me to place the file in a
    non-web-accessible folder so the link can't be passed
    around at all.

    This ensures that the only people who can download
    from the location are those who purchased via either
    DLGuard or RapidActionProfits.:

    Rapid Action Profits (no affil.)

    DLGuard - Download page protector, create expiring download links (no affil.)

    However, once the files are on the users computer, I
    can't control things much from there.

    Dedicated to mutual success,

    Shaun
