Payed Downloads With Processwire

[pwired]

Hi

Searched but there are no pw modules or pw scripts that I could find.

Anyone knows how to setup payed downloads with a pw site ?

There is this mention:

So long as whatever payment system you are using (Paypal in the example mentioned above) has some way of securely confirming that the user's payment has been received, you can easily make the download available based on whether a "paid" flag has been set for their order.

Great article, thanks. Will give gumroad a try.

there has been some talk also on another thread about this;

Joomla with Maian Media is how I do this now; when a customer purchases downloads, the script redirects them to paypal; the IPN is processed after payment which then lets MM create the download page, that has the download links to the files; also sends an email to the user with the URL to their special download page.

It would be important for such a system to simply track the # of downloads, and also allow for hiding the file location (could be on a local server or on s3..)

but all in all the logic should be pretty simple - gonna try and write this later this summer...
