Downloadable Product

Great
Did you need to set up options or not?

NOTE: each Payment Module has an Orders Status and if the Orders Status is not set for the default settings of: <= 2 (Processing) or >=4 (Updated) then the download is not available until the Order is checked in the Admin and the orders_status has been changed to fall within the Range ...

blind1 - yes I did, if by options you mean attributes.

Trying to figure out if there is a way to avoid options (dropdown, radio etc.)
because there are no options for these products, just mp3's.

Hello,

I have tried to follow all of the tutorials related to downloadable products. I have added attributes, etc...

However, when I click to view the store I see the product, but there is a graphic that says sold out. Additionally, I cannot see any link to add the product to checkout, and I have added this to "add to cart" like the tutorials say.

The url is: billyharner.com/shop

thanks in advance for your assistance.

Warm Regards,

Give it a products_quantity 1 ...

Hi Linda,

Thanks for getting back to me. I am new to zen cart.

When I add the product to categories/products it does not give me the option to set a quantity... what product group should I add a download to?

There is product general, product music, etc...

When I do add it to product-general the default quantity is set to 1, but I do not get the option to link the download file. Also, when I click preview and then update I still see a quantity of 0?

Also, I can't seem to get another song in the download manager. I see the first song, and I followed the steps that I did when setting up the first song, but I cannot get another song in the download manager?

I am really kind of lost here because I thought that I was doing everything correctly, but not really getting the results...

Thanks for your help. I look forward to your response.

Warm Regards,
ProfessorGL

Hi,

I have to tell you this whole download thing is really cryptic. Anyway, I got it going.

Now I have questions about the checkout regarding the downloadable product. Why is it asking for shipping or best way or walk in?

Shouldn't it just say download purchase?

Thanks...

Downloads should NOT be marked as:

1 Always Free Shipping

2 Virtual Product

Downloads know that they are Downloads based on the filename on the attribute ...

checkout_shipping is skipped completely on a Download only order ...

Hi,

Thanks for all of your help so far. I have changed that in the product. However, how do I get rid of the "units in stock" from showing. I have tried a couple of settings in the configuration files like product listings and stock, but that had no results. Basically, for a download product in should not show units in stock at all.

Could you tell me what I am missing?

Again, thank you for your time and consideration.

Warm Regards,
ProfessorGL
