What's the best way to offer a free download?

[shaitaan]

I want to offer my customers a trial version of our product, but do not want them to pay anything. However, i DO want the trial to show up in the catalog.

 

What's the best way to accomplish this?

 

I've tried adding the free trial & setting the price equal to 0, but that still takes them to the credit card information page, which is unneccesary.

 

Thanks,

the best way is to post the full version on the oscomm site in which people have to pay for it but in its description have a "download trial version" at the bottom so people can download a trial before they buy.

or try an IF clause the payment module based on prod id.

 

e.g.

 

if prod id != id(of free prod)

{

show payment mod

}

I need to offer a free gift, not a download. I hope someone here can help. If the total price == 0, including shipping, skip the checkout_payment.php, and go straight to checkout_success.php. The order should still show up in the database, just dont ask for billing address and payment info. Anyone here done this?

 

Thanks,
