RLW Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hello! We would like to sell downloadable E-Books from our Os Commerce Store. The books are pdf's. We had thought to Password protect the contents of the books. Do we then store them in the Downloads folder of the Catalog? How do we then notify the customer, after they have made payment, of the password to open the book? Thankyou for your assistance, RLW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would require a little bit of a coding effort, but adding the password to the email your customer receives on the purchase automatically would be a nice touch. Be well, Tina If you're not having fun you're not doing it right Teach a person to fish rather than give them a loaf of bread or however that saying goes.

Be well, Tina Thanks Tina for all your help. Truly grateful! With regard to the coding effort, I'm not code literate unfortunately. Any suggestions as to how to go about adding the necessary code? Thanks, PS: On another note, I am trying to open the Admin/configure.php file to edit the SSl enable code, but Go Live is not opening the page at all. Any suggestions how to overcome this hiccup?
