   Hello everyone,

   Im trying to set up a music website where the users can purchase a song and download the song as soon as they pay for it. I know there are some great e-commerce plugins and themes but I cant figure out how i would go about letting the users download a song after they pay for it.

   Does anyone have a good idea of what I could do? Maybe there is a plugin that I havent seen that can do this for me? I would appreciate any help.

   Thanks.

   How are they going to pay? If you are planing to use PayPal then implement the API from then.
   There you could set the return url. Make sure you verify the information before let them download.

   Thanks for the quick reply and yes they will be paying with PayPal.

   so after i implement the api i should set up a private page where they can gain access to download the files? Would that work?

   I would say after the successful payment the API will post the details to the link you point. Direct the other page from there and make sure to verify the referrer from PHP. so that any one trying to access it directly will not gain access.
