Hi
I am very sorry about the confusing question. I am also very sorry if this has been answered before, but I cannot seem to find anything.
My wife wants to sell quilting patterns via the www. Her first quilt will be sold via a unique web address linked to that specific quilt.
What we want to happen on her web is to create our own html based web page (not using any of Zen Cart's templates, that is) for the sale. This web page will show the detail and price of the quilt. We then simply want buyers to click on some "Buy Now" button and to be directed to some payment system like PayPal or MonsterPay (which we opted for as a start).
Once payment is made and confirmed, we want the buyer to be systematically (automatically) sent a link to download the file via email or for the buyer to be automatically redirected to a web page (Download by Redirect set to True) or for the product to be automatically downloaded to the buyer's computer immediately (I think you call it streaming). Please excuse my stupid way of explaining this section! I don't know the real terms to be used.
This is where everything starts getting hazy...
I understand from Monsterpay that we need a shopping cart for the immediate download. This is why we decided on Zen Cart.
Logic seems to tell me that MonsterPay will be providing the "Buy Now" button, not Zen Cart.
If this is true, how does that button link to the PDF file to which I have added the Download Attributes to as per the tutorial found here: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=71?
How does MonsterPay, after having processed the payment, get back to ZenCart to download the file? Is this a question for them to answer or can someone please help me?
Does Zen Cart actually create HTML code that I have to use for the "Buy Now" button? I am completely at a loss as to the next step.
The URL for the download page on my wife's web is the following: http://www.cowquiltpattern.com/patterns.htm The rectangle with the words "Yes, I'd like to buy this" is what needs to start the process of going to MonsterPay for payment processing and then on to Zen Cart for imemdiate file download via redirect (let's use this as default download method).
Can anybody please help a completely discombobulated (my biggest English word, I think ) Harry in a rather cold Bethlehem, South Africa?
Kindest possible regards
Harry
