Which Download/Shopping Cart Software Do You Recommend?

by jamesutterson

I am creating a new website where customers will be able to purchase a number of downloadable zip files from a list. I need the download links to expire after 24/48 hours depending on the selections.

DL Guard has been recommended to me for setting up the download system /shopping cart. It seems great however I am a bit put off by having to purchase additional licences for every additional domain that I add. Their support desk has suggested using subdomains on my main domain but this is not ideal.

Can anyone suggest an alternative system or software which they think will be suitable?

Thanks

    I have a license for DLGuard and use it for some of my
    older products.

    However, as an information product seller, I think that
    it's also important for the download and shopping cart
    software to have an integrated affiliate program.

    That is why I use and recommend Rapid Action Profits
    by fellow Warrior Sid Hale:

    Rapid Action Profits (no affil.)

    What's more, once you buy the software, it can be used
    on multiple sites and their support is great too.

    Dedicated to mutual success,

    I use one shopping cart in conjunction with DL guard and it works great for me. 1shopping cart also has an affiliate program.

      I use 1ShoppingCart on most of my sites as well. Pretty easy to set up and has the Affiliate program like he mentioned.

      It also has a great Autoresponder feature.


      But I have also heard good things about the WP eStore link but haven't used it myself.

        In my opinion PrestaShop has a kick ass shopping cart. The software is super user friendly and light. I highly recommend it. I am not the most tech savvy person and my site was up really fast.

    I use Linklok with their cart, works great. JAM integrates nicely for the affiliate side.

    I would recommend Magento for your eStore.

    I launch a PLR article site a few months ago, all products in a download file and they offer great support.

    There are some simple edits you need to do to kit it up fully, such as listed here:

    Magento - Wiki - How To - Display products on home page

    Also, the site here:

    Magento - Wiki - General:Index

    is very useful. Helped me establish my site fully

    Don't know if you use WordPress or not, but if you do (as I do for some of my sites), I use the WP eStore Plugin. It might be able to do what you need.
