how do I set up a shop for downloading graphics

[Guest]

I know it's in here somewhere but I can't find it.

 

How do I set up a shop to download graphics after purchase?

 

Any links or info is appreciated.

 

thanks :thumbsup:

Standard stuff with base oscommerce package. Highly recommend that you install the contribution - Download controller - search the contributions section.

 

You might want to condiser creating a .zip for the graphics, however that isn't required. You can have any filetype as a download.

 

Then.....

 

FTP your graphics to download folder (folder should be chmoded to 777 - read/writable). (Check pub folder for 777 as well)

Turn downloads on via admin

Create a download attribute via product admin.

Add attribute to the download product.

Make sure product has zero weight.

 

Complete the buy transaction and a link will be created after order is completed and also available in the customers order history page.

 

Also, check out the following link for a few other gotchas.
