Simple Paypal Download Manager

If you’re looking for a simple, easy to modify, PHP script that will allow you to sell downloadable products, securely using Paypal then the Simple Paypal Download Manager is probably what you’re looking for.

Using this script you can sell, e–books, music downloads, scripts, source code or any other intellectual property.

Unlike other Paypal download managers, the source code is completely unlocked so you can edit it to fit your needs exactly.

As the name suggests, this is a simple download manager. That means there is no complicated installation. The script has deliberately been designed not to use a database, so installing this script only requires editing two small files and uploading the files to your PHP enabled server.

If you need to sell multiple products at different prices please take a look at version 1.2 which is designed to sell several downloadable products.

Once your customer has paid for your product they are returned to your website where this script will check their payment was successful and, if it was, provide them with a download link and email them a copy of your product.

Try out the script by purchasing it - I'm using it to sell itself...

Key features:

What types of product can I sell?

The Simple Paypal Download Manager is designed to allow your customers to download just one file. But if you have more than one file to distribute, e.g. each chapter of your eBook is in a separate file or you are selling an album made up of multiple files, you can compress all the files into a .zip or .rar file and still sell the files using this script, making it a versatile sales tool.

This script, in conjunction with the Paypal systems, prevents the software from being downloaded more than 3 times per transaction.

So you can sell:

If you’re looking for a way to automate your income by selling intellectual property of any kind, this script is for you. Sell your e–books, sell your music, sell your code, sell your scripts using this automated system whilst you sleep!

What are the requirements?

If you need to sell multiple products at different prices please take a look at version 1.2 which is designed to sell several downloadable products.

You just need a web server that has PHP installed and allows you to use the fsockopen () PHP function. (Most web servers do allow this – to check if yours does use a phpinfo file – http://uk3.php.net/phpinfo) in fact if your web server doesn’t allow you to use fsockopen() or have PHP installed, I will give you a complete refund, within 15 days of your purchase.

Testimonials

Hi Chris

Thanks. After fighting with Paypal (the option to use credit cards instead of my Paypal account didn't display - strange) I've succeeded in downloading it no problem. Nice solution and well documented. I agree with your comments about being hard to find a light weight manager - most have baskets and content management that I don't want, so this just about fits the bill. I need to do something to handle multiple download options, but this has given me some good ideas and general foundation.

Thanks contributing this at a sensible price
