Newbie looking for information on downloadable products

[rjm]

Hi all,

Can anyone please point me to a tutorial about setting up a zen cart installation for selling dowloadable items? That's the only type on items I'll have to sell for creating my first zen cart store. I've searched the forums, but didn't found it.

Thanks in advance,

The best resource is now the new book (Check the banner at the top of the page), I also sell only downloadable goods and I struggled for a month or so getting it right, after reading the book, I realize, while may way may have kinda-sorta worked, the right way worked, every time and was bullet proof.

Check out the sit at http://www.rblibrary.com

Glad to help you, but you gotta let me know what you are getting stuck on.

Ajeh,
I'll take a look at it, thanks!
I've searched on the wiki, and I haven't found anything related to downloadable products...

Wmarcy: I've tried to buy it, but all I get is an empty page on Lulu.com, instead of the book; maybe it's not possible to buy it at Portugal (I'm in Portugal), I'm not sure. I would gladly buy it, if I could.
My first question would be: where do I put the downloadables, in which directory?

You will have a dir called /download in your main server path.
