After PayPal payment - log in to download files

[burningwater]

I need a system that works like this, using PayPal for payment.

1. Customer clicks buy now button
2. After successful payment, customer receives login credentials to a web page via email
3. The customer logs in and can download a zip file

Ideally, the password word would only be valid for 48 hours or something like that.

Do you know of any Wordpress plugin that could provide this type of functionality? Would be easiest for me if I could stick to Wordpress.

Or what would you recommend for this scenario? If there any good and simple applications out there to buy for just this purpose, I would buy it.

Thanks!

You would need to use IPN to have Paypal notify your site that the order was made and that a username/password needs to be connected to the purchase

Using 3rd party services can be way more secure than carrying the transaction's on your site. I have listed a few below.

DPD - Digital Product Delivery - Sell Downloads and Run Your Own Affiliate Program
E-junkie Shopping Cart for selling downloads & tangible goods (the best, also supports coupon codes).

Red_Virus - in what way more secure? The eStore plugin does all the transactions using PayPal.

E-junkie - Features

Not only it's easy to set up but also you get so many features when you are looking to scale.

Another vote for e-junkie.

I just started using e-Junkie myself. Love em. Big thumbs up from me.

The problem with eJunkie is the storage issue. Some of the products may be huge downloads. In fact, for this website, there won't be that many products, but each product may be fairly large, so a few GB of storage may be needed. 999 MB of storage with e-Junkie is $125 per month = pricey. I understand hosting the files on my own server would be more economical (but more hassle?).

DPD has unlimited storage and bandwidth - check Digital Product Delivery - Sell Downloads PayPal, 2CheckOut, Clickbank and more! - looks good!

Would you rather use e-Junkie and store files on your own server, or would you go with DPD (seems more convenient)?

if you are going to be doing a few download sales a day, then PayPal/3rd party download merchant if you are doing $400-500+ a day I would suggest contacting your back about creating your own merchant account and accepting CC payments directly on your site

I am expecting $1,000 - $3,000 per month. Not sure if that is enough for it being worth setting up my own merchant account. I will contact the bank and find out the fees for me.

Anyone else have feedback regarding DPD? Looks very good on "paper"!
