    Default Using zen cart for downloading albums..

    hi there im new to the whole zen cart thing, and im liking what im seeing however before i get into it i would like to know what is the best way to use this for downloading albums. For example i advertise mixtapes for sale and when they have purchased it they are redirected to a download link...is this possible and what will i need?

    thanks.

    Make a trial installation of Zen Cart *with the demo products* and look at how downloads work - there are examples set up and explained in the demo.

    Also look at the FAQ for discussion of downloads.

    They add the product to their cart
    Then they checkout and supply payment details
    When the payment is approved, they are provided with download links.

    Those download links are valid only for the number of days or clicks that you define (see the FAQs on setting up downloads).

    Only they as the logged in customer can get the download for the product they purchased.

    The links are never emailed.

    It has been less than a half an hour since you got an answer - read the FAQs, the WIKI and get the book.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    Start with this:
    https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=119
    and the links it contains.

    The wiki is another online documentation area: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php ... There's also a link in the blue bar at the top of this page.

    The FAQs are a handy place to find answers, esp if you search for a specific word/term: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php
    There's a First Time Users section ... just for you !

    Set up a Zen Cart shop with the demo products offered during installation. Check out the sample music products. Try it out. That's what the demo products are there for. Follow the FAQ articles to set up your own or evaluate how the existing demo items were set up.
