Can I use Zen Cart to sell digital items (downloads)

Can I use Zen Cart to sell digital items, and when some one makes an order they receive the link to the item automatically, or something like that

Maybe there is a modual for this?

Re: Can I use Zen Cart to sell digital items (downloads)

You will want to look into Attributes and creating them for a Product with the Option Name and Option Value ...

One thing you may wish to do is to install a test site of Zen Cart v1.3.7 plus the current PayPal Patch at:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56216

into a test directory and use a test database and load the demo data ...

What this will do is give you a sample store with all of the features of Zen Cart built into the Products so that you can see just how various Products, such as Downloads, are built plus how the features of Zen Cart are used, function, ordered, checked out, downloaded, etc. etc. etc. for various types of Products as well as see an overall picture of what you can do with Zen Cart ...

I'm looking for the same information. I tried going to download manager to see how to add downloaded products but I didn't see anything for adding products to be downloaded. How would I go about this?

The Downloads Manager is just to check downloads associated to Attributes ...

Sort of related,

I have got the downloads working, but the option Value says PDF.
How can I change the Option Value to say ZIP instead of PDF?

thanks
