Anyhoo...I've got an order page set up now for .pdfs to be manually fulfilled and I've linked it to my blog page (if interested, you can click on my name and follow the 'my web page' link). I guess it'll do for now, and since I don't have any big vacations planned in the near future I can probably keep on top of it. A more urgent priority may be getting additional file formats available on the order form. Thanks for taking the time to make some suggestions, though.  |
Have you looked at the PP page on Digital Delivery solutions? There are serveral providers. Also there are some solid e-commerce solutions out there that address this situation. But one needs to get it that it costs a fair amount for automated, tested, certified systems. I run into potential clients all the time who expect a $500 package to be totally turn-key, secure, invincible, faster then a speeding bullet and they want it in 5-days. And free support when they have no idea what heck to do once you hand them the keys.
I am no longer doing development for a living but I have never charged under $15k for a site. Which is typically very overkill for a low volume start-up situation. I can recommend an excellent e-commerce package that I have used on many sites. It is called
ASPDotNetStoreFront (I know it's a mouthful) but it's extremely complete and solid. Still expect to invest at minimum $1000 in the software. They even have a SF that fully integrates with DNN. Typically including graphics it takes me a 5-10 days designing the solution to meet the client's needs then solid 3-5 weeks to get things installed & tuned. I have used it almost since it began and can say it's about the most complete SF frameworks with a fantastic price point. Easy to skin and very, very easy to customize.
But I have the believe there is a simply PayPal based solution with one of the PayPal developers. PayPal's API really makes these things quite easy. So I would look into that if it's been a while. Here is a link to that page on PP:

Basically automation, more importantly secure automation, is going to cost more.
Best of luck...wish I was still working or I would give ya a hand. But, I had to stop, basically body parts falling apart piece meal rather then all at once...hehehe so, I never know what days I will be up to working.
