Is there somewhere I can go to see a sample Zen Cart site?
I'm interested in selling files basically. Ecommerce of PDF files. I'd like to see how Zen-Cart could handle something like this.
If some one could direct me to a site that does something like this or a simple example site, I would very much appreciate it.

If you just want to see some sample look/feel templates for Zen Cart, which also shows off a number of the available features built in to the code, you could peek at http://(sorry, site offline)/

Re: See a sample Zen site?
Thanks so much for the quick response. That was what I wanted to see.
Can you tell me if Zen Cart can do the following? The product I want to sell are PDF files (stories written by amatuer authors). When a buyer clicks on a story and buys it I want to generate an email to the purchaser with a dynamic download link to download the file.
I have seen MANY websites that sell files in this fashion. I'm hoping this ability is pretty much built into Zen-Cart. am I reight? Or how would I do such a thing?

Re: See a sample Zen site?
yes, Zen Cart can do that with full automation.
One difference. Zen Cart sends an order confirmation email upon order-completion. But the download links are not in the email. They are in the customer's "My Account" area. Also, on the "checkout success" page, they are automatically given the download links as well ... right after payment ... no need to read the email, no need to come back to the site later. Download immediately.
Granted, if they don't pay by credit card or some other instant payment method, their downloads will not be released until you manually release them such as after receiving a check or moneyorder by mail, etc..

...... and
They can also come back later and download again if it failed or they misplaced it, up to 5 times over 7 days (those limits are configurable in the admin). Individual resets can be done by the administrator later too for special cases, etc..
