Free Products - possible?

Hello, I am completely new to Zen Cart. Is it possible to create free products that can be downloaded? I looked at the payment options in the admin panel but didn't see anything that allowed no payment.

Thanks,

AQ

You can also use Better Together to create a product which is free if another product is purchased.

Good luck,
Scott

In the payment modules, activate the Zen Cart FREE CHARGE CARD for free products.

Re: Free Products - possible?

Thanks for the reply. I have that module activated. I've managed to set a zero price but now I can't work out how to set the stock levels. I'm getting an out of stock message on the product page but there should be no stock levels at all as the product is virtual. How can I bypass or ignore stock levels,

Thanks again,

AQ

Re: Free Products - possible?

Sorry, if I used the wrong term. What I mean is that the product is not physical so it shouldn't run out of stock. Any number of people should be able to download it any number of times by going through the checkout process - though tehcost should be zero.

You still have to enter a stock quantity i.e 1
If downloads are configured correctly, this should
not reduce when a sale/download is made.

Re: Free Products - possible?

Thanks Misty, downloads seem to be working now. What I need to do now is see if I can workout how to speed up the ordering process. But I'll start a new thread for that.

Cheers,

AQ
