Question: How to Forward Paid Paypal Clients Back to correct Webpage to download their products?

Hi,

I'm setting up an e-commerce site and I'm using the Paypal "Buy Now" buttons. I need to know if I need a script to insert on my webpages to be able to forward paid Paypal customers back to the correct download pages on my site? I just need to know step by step how I can achieve this redirect problem so that I can automate my website. I'd really appreciate some advice and help on this issue. I would even pay someone to help me achieve this goal that I need done with my site. Please email me any comments or questions to customersvcs@e-booklibrary.biz. Thanks!

Use the Paypal IPN to process the order and send them an email letting them know where to download it. Then use the standard return URL to let them know to check their email for the link...

Paypal doesn't let you add any variables to the return URL so this is the only way I can think to do it.
