osCommerce

The e-commerce.

I want people to be able to buy downloads!

I have a pdf download that most of my customers will be interested in. I was just going to charge 1p for it or something so only buying customers get it (basically free).

 

I hvae seen this on other oscommerce sites. I have set the 'enable download' to 'true' but now im stuck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Click on download in the admin section and enable the download feature. I think that's all you have to do. If you offer a freebie, you need to use some modification, which I wish I didn't use because now I have to be so careful modifying my other scripts.

 

My only complaint about oscommerce is the time it takes to add modules that should just be simple additions. If I had an extra programmer, I wouldn't mind but otherwise I simply don't have time to mess with it.

After turning everything on you need to create a product. Go to the product attributes section under your catalog (under admin) and add a filename, days available, and downloads to the item.

 

Make sure the filename you specify is case sensitive and is currently available in your /catalog/downloads folder.

 

Also read some in the knowledge base about making sure your directory permissions are set correctly if you have problems.

 

For a freebie just set the price to 0, and Linda McGrath has a contribution for free items/free shipping that works well (You get them to still signup but they do not have to input billing info).

 

Hope this helps.
