need a *basic*, digital download shopping cart

Question

Hi there

I have a store using Drupal & drupal ecommerce plugin which I use to sell about 8 digital download files. It is extremely large and too bloated for what I'm doing.

I'm looking for a new simple solution to sell my 8 files (from my own domain), with automated file delivery to the customer.

Does anyone know of a good extremely simple / basic cart that offers this (php / mysql)?

Thus far I have come across Digivendor which is okay, and e-junkie where your add to cart button links to their website, so not really keen on that..

sorry forgot to mention i need paypal support.

Any advice appreciated

Answer 1

I'd recommend Google Checkout's shopping cart functionality. You don't even need PHP/MySQL, just some javascript to start with.

Answer 2

Just use Paypal's seller module. You can set it up so that the user clicks "Buy" and then it redirects to Paypal, which will send the user back to a script on your page with some sort of verification data. This script can then initiate the download, while hiding the script's actual location using something like this:

<?php
//Check verification info here.
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.sh"');
include 'myscript.sh';
?>

The information can be found here.
Note that in the creation of your button, you must go down to the "Customize Advanced Features" panel and add the entry to the variable box, rm=2, so that the information associated with the transaction is POSTed to the return URL.

I'd recommend checking out jcart.
