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.

this is helpfull, but i really want to know how i would go about actually making sure that once they have paid for the mixtape they and only they are sent a download link...how does this work?

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.

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.
