Selling Downloadable Content

Is there an easy way to create an entire store of downloadable content for sale. I want to sell stock photography. I would like a system like you might see on getty images.com or superstock.com or comstock.com

Chris,

You need to enable downloads, admin>onfiguration>downloads> set downloads to true. You then have to add the item like you normally would, then set up an item attribute, catalog>product attributes. You will have to go through each product and specify it as being downloadable and specify the file. All files live in the downloads folder. Its not going to be as nice as Getty, but it works. You can specify how many times someone can download something, or for how long the download will remain available after purchase. You can also set up different options for each product. Say you want to offer several different size images, 300 dpi, 72 dpi, etc., or different formats, tiff, jpg, etc. You can do all this in product attributes. When the user goes to buy the item, a drop menu will let them choose the format, OSC will then set the price you specified for that option. Its kind of nice. I use OSC for selling 3D models.
