How do I go about creating a secure download page for digital products.?

Question

Basically I want to prevent anyone from downloading without paying for the item obviously. Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

First of all, you would place all the information about your digital products on your "sales" page. Your sales page would have your PayPal button, or other means of collecting payment via a credit card.

Once the purchase is made, they will need to be taken to a "Thank You" page. This is the page where you would then Thank them for making their purchase, and have the links to the downloadable product available on this page for them to download. You could also create a separate directory on your server just for the ThankYou page, and password that directory, and offer the "password" on the thankyou page to allow the paid customer to make the download. These are a few options that you can do.

Hope this helps.

You can download our “Download Page Protector” software for FREE to protect the download page. I’ve explained how it works on my blog. Get more details about the scripts and Download it free here. Your download page is what you need to keep it as the return URL or the thank you page URL after successful payment either from Paypal, Clickbank or any payment system out there.
