A while back I posted some concept pages for digital download software I wanted to create. It’s a project that got sent to the backburner and never revived.

Now I’m back in need for such a solution and I simply don’t have the time to build it myself yet. I’ve searched high and low and come close to a solution but nothing seems that robust, so I ask: Are there no good digital download solutions?

My needs:

  • Use PayPal IPN to handle payments.
  • Manage digital downloads.
  • Handle recurring subscriptions.
  • Handle affiliate tracking.

e-junkie comes close, but they don’t handle any recurring subscriptions whatsoever. So if you know of something that will solve my problems (please don’t say os-commerce) please let me know!

Use Drupal + ubercart, can handle “software” checkouts and recurring subscriptions

Have you check out ldguard.com? Not sure if it has everything you need, but it may.

sorry typed wrong url… dlguard.com

Mals e-commerce is a free shopping cart solution that integrates with paypal. It has a feature to offer digital downloads by specifying where the download is located on your server - etc…

Have you checked AgileBill? It is open source.

have you tried fetch? It works with shopify and other carts…

the wp e-commerce plugin for wordpress is turning out to be a good option. its REALLY easy and supports digital downloads.

WP e-Commerce Plugin at WordPress

1. set your settings.
2. create a product group.
3. create a product.
at the very bottom of the product description page,
4. Choose a downloadable file for this product, and upload.

plus it uses an ajax store display. pretty sweet.

does it work? i havent personally tested it but it looks promising.

Because it’s not a digital download store. There is a big different between what that plugin tries to do and what I’m looking for.

Their site also shows a wp admin panel from eons ago, leading me to believe they don’t keep their software up-to-date.
