Will Oscommerce Work For An Ebooks Store


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello All

 

I've got a friend who needs an ebooks store setup and I wondered if osCommerce would be a good application to use.

 

I've used osCommerce for real world store but not sure how it would be able to handle the download aspect.

 

Anyone have any suggestion?

 

Thanks

 

Paul

Well oscommerce has got a downloads option available for items. I haven't really looked into it much, but I've seen a few people having concerns about it's security. Such as people going through the purchase section, but when it comes to paying, typing

/checkout_success.php

in the url bar and it takes them directly to it and allows them to download without paying.

Although this is only things I've picked up from this forum, not things I've noticed myself, so you'd have to try it and see what happens

The download function is great when it works..i run a download music store and it has been working fine until recently...issues with download links not being there and expiry date problems..have posted the problem but no one seems to know the solution...so my problem is ongoing..but apart from that..if you can get it working and find someone to help with issues..go for it.
