How to set up downloadable products?

Your Product has two options:

1 Download it

2 Get it in the snail mail

The product is never both the download and get it in snail mail at the same time ... is this correct?

Yes that is correct so when the buyer selects the product to be ship the shipping address should be visible on set up. Once I have set the product to download the shipment is automatically invisible, so arrgggg... thats my problem now...

thanks

Oh I finally Figured out my site. I was able to set product options either to download or to ship the goods... Amazing!

Just have to configure the download and the shipment options properly.

My question is, if I will set my payment into production mode, can download be automatic? or should I manually update the buyers status all the time??? I hope anybody would care to answer my question,... Thanks...

It is up to you on whether the Download is immediately available or not ...

Usually, for PayPal or Credit Cards using the Processing is good so Downloads are available right away ...

For Check/Money Order, using Pending is good so you can confirm that you have the money when the check comes ...

Oh I see... so that is why I am manually updating the status because I have set the payment in Check or Money Order. But If I will use my actual merchant, where will I set the status those status, to automatically download the goods?

You set the Orders Status on each of the Payment Modules ...

Attribute Option and Option Value Do NOT Match - Attribute was not added - : TEXT

Post #17...same problem on mine but unlike post 17, mine is working and has been working, it's just an annoyance I would like make disappear.

I have checked every page I can think of and I don't see where I have text enabled at all.

I was just adding a 5th radio button this morning and checked it again (some of our scrap kits get rather large) and all I have are radio buttons and all are the default.

Any clues as to where to go to make it go away and not annoy me any longer?

If I can't, can you tell me how to use it...I could use it to download the designer's terms of use with their files.

Attributes for Downloads are configured with the Option Name being a dropdown or radio button etc.

The are then added to the Product with their Option Values and file name ...

Your error is suggesting that rather than selecting an Option Value made for the Option Name for the download that you are selecting TEXT [RESERVED FOR TEXT/FILES ONLY] and that is for TEXT or Upload files ...

That's what I thought too when I first read thru this thread but I've looked and looked and can't find what is wrong. Mine work and I am attaching screen shots to show what I have. Maybe you can see what I'm not.

The first two are the attribute controller screens. The last two are an example of one of my zip files with the error message.
