Quick question! (Newbie)

[Hard Work Sports]

Just built up my website for my online store and downloaded osComm. to sell my product. My product will be sent to the customers through email sending them a pdf. file and a video.

 

This is my first time independently/officially selling something online and I need to know the process of the customers.

 

So they go on my website and when they want to buy they pay through osCommerce website with PayPal or w/e.

Then I email them my product? Which is the pdf. file and video?

 

Thanks a lot

You can set it up so once they have paid then they can download the item.

Alright so I guess I'll just have to wait until someone buys the product then I can send it their email?

Will I have to ask for their information?

If its just a file they will be downloading, why not use the downloads feature of oscommerce. It is a bit of a nightmare to get working correctly and automatically, but it will save so much fuss later.

 

There are many threads here on setting up downloads, s a quick search may be an idea. Use google to find it if the forum search does not work as you think it should.

I googled some.

Would this be good?

Hey Joli, I am hosting a website on iPage and I have an external link to osC. I managed to set up a downloadable product for the customers but I still don't know what the next step is. My customers can download the product but I don't know how to input the video and pdf. file into the file my customers are going to download. I have the free version of osC btw and I am a complete noob with this! :)

I'm still having problems getting the .zip file, etc and for the cutomers to download it. I've set everything else up I just don't know how to get the video and .pdf into the actual file that the customers will download.

Hi Marco,

 

Download something like 7zip free open source software

 

http://www.7-zip.org/

 

Create a yellow folder put your pdf/video inside right click on it and you will see an option to 7-zip/ add to your_folder.zip this will then compress the file making smaller .

 

Make sure it is the zip format that you choose
