Hello,
My name is Chuck. I am in the process of creating my own website with HTML. My site will be simple and not flashy. I want to use Pay-pal.

This is the way I hope to complete the site:
Main page - buy button - order page - order completion.

I need to know the following:

1) How to I create the download button for the customer to click after the purchase.
2) How to I store, or where do I keep the e-book. It is already pdf formatted.
3) Is there a specific code I need to write for this?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Chuck

Welcome to the forums, Chuck. Smiling

If you are wanting to program all of this yourself, you are going to have to learn a programming language and learn how to integrate it with PayPal. PayPal has a good developer's program with plenty of documentation and a functional sandbox environment. If you have never coded any dynamic websites before, this can be a long learning process.

I know there are other sites out there that allow you to sell your digital items. Maybe somebody else will stop by and post some of the popular market places.

I know if you set up a Drupal site with ecommerce (or ecommerce with Ubercart) you can create a "downloadable" product.

Both carts feature PayPal integration...
