joer80 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have a music group that wants a website but they want to add some of their music for free, and some of it as a paid download for $1 each. What would you guys recommend on tackling this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongondo Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 What situation? That 'how dare they charge a whopping $1 for music'? . Just kidding. Price here is immaterial. Whether $1 or $1000, the facts are: It will have to be paid via some means That means needs to be secure That means needs to be something your musician's fans have access to (e.g. PayPal, etc) Buyers will most likely expect to be able to download music they've bought right after payment has gone through The band will want to be able to track downloads, paid or unpaid Etc... I wouldn't reinvent the wheel with this one. Buying and selling will be taking place, period. I'd invest in Padloper ...(or if really, really, pushed, in some other ready made solution.). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joer80 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 I will take a look! I mainly listed price in case there were some kind of micro transaction service since some have a minimum per transaction fee. I would love to find there was a mostly put together way to do this! Instant digital download would be a must at such a low price! Too much labor to send links. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of going for a full ecommerce solution? I have a friend that may sell a few 2nd hand laptops but the current problem is that a decision has to be made early, is it a website with some shopping added on, or a shopping site from the start (read: pre-made solution). I also need to be able to say with confidence to clients that they will be able to add shopping functionality later (whilst building the initial site with PW). So this interests me quite a bit. Thanks for mentioning this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joer80 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 So using padloper, the credit card would be entered in on my website, even if I used something like paypal as the payment method? Does that add any extra pci hassle vs doing something like foxycart where the creditcard is entered in on their servers and they connect with paypal?

szabesz Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 @joer80 There is a recent, related conversation here: "Stripe Checkout" https://stripe.com/checkout is one of the easiest to implent. "Easy to implement: You can integrate Checkout in a few lines of JavaScript. Checkout generates normal Stripe tokens for use on your server." https://stripe.com/us/pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shopping functionality can be added later or during, or before. It is not a pre-made solution. You get the same freedom as when designing your ProcessWire site.

You would have to use one of the available payment gateways. Currently, there are two, PayPal and Stripe, both of which are available as free modules (by the same author of Padloper, @apeisa) The connection is seamless. With Padloper, you will have to be willing to 'construct' your shop so to speak. There is no ready-made template or anything like that. With this though, comes total freedom to code your shop just like any other ProcessWire template file since any page can be a product in Padloper. I suggest you read more on the product's website. There's also a public forum here where you can post further questions. I use Padloper myself here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Bandcamp might be a good option for the selling part? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joer80 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Great suggestion! If they are on a tight budget, I might fall back to that as a cost effective option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
