    Have a Drink Using Zen Cart as Backend only?

    Hello - I'm using the current version of Zen Cart.

    My question; I only want to use the power of Zen Cart, not the product pages, steps to order, nothing. I want to use Paypal as my payment method, which I've already set up. How do I configure Zen Cart to simply let a customer click the "Buy Now" button and they are wisked away to Paypal, and they don't return to my site until they've paid and are ready to download the product?

    ALSO - How do I pass the email address from Paypal to my Zen Cart so I can make sure the download link gets sent there?

    I can't figure out how do this.

    Thanks!

    Zen Cart isn't designed to be the back end, so you can't use it the way you're proposing.
    Zen Cart is far more advanced than just a simple link to buy a product.

    Perhaps something else is what I'm looking for then. I only have one product, a download, and all I need is payment through Paypal and then directions to download from a secure location.
