What kind of cart are you using? Most carts already include this.

I’m so confused and overwhelmed by all of this, let me try to clarify where I’m at:
I have an e-book in PDF format that I’m ready to sell through my website. I have hosting through BlueHost with cPanel and wordpress installed. I have my main page setup through wordpress, and I want to sell my product through ClickBank (to get affiliates).
Now if I understand correctly, companies like clickbank and paypal only provide the buttons for me to add on my website, and they take care of credit card transactions, but after that they can only direct the user back to my website? This effectively means that I must create my own webpage where the customer will be directed to, that allows them to download my product?
I was hoping there was a service that could take care of all this, for example, a service that would let me submit my product to them, and they would take care of the payment transactions and delivery of the product to the customer.
Is this possible? Does something like this exist?
I’m so lost right now, I don’t have webmaster experience but I really want to start getting my products out there for sale.. I don’t know where to go from here though except through trial and error.
Someone please help get this dummy on the right track.
Thank you so much
You can make a thank you page directly in your paypal account, but you should be aware that selling a PDF’s online is considered a ‘virtual’ transaction, and you will get many chargebacks, meaning basically someone will buy your PDF, and then claim that they never authorized the charge and so they will get their money back from paypal, and you will have given them a free PDF. You would be much safer using a service like Moneybookers instead, where they cannot do chargebacks. You can also use something like WP e-Commerce, just click –>. The demo version is free and and should do everything that you need.
