I'm working on this site and I have 2 payment system, one is working perfectly at the moment. What I need is once someone make a payment he can access the download area. My question is, what is the best way to do that while using the paypal buy now button?

I can create a password protected directory yet I need something automatic so they can receive the logins infos after a payment, but I can't figure out how to do that in a effective way. Best Idea I had so far is when they pay, paypal send them to a page where they have to put there email and then they receive an automatic mail with logins infos...

Any creative ideas?
 
Look a e-junkie as they handle the delivery of products if you need it.

It's really cheap and the code "CRAFTBOOM" (without quotes) is one I've used for a 90 free trial.

You can still use PayPal to process payments.
 
You can setup an auto email responder to there paypal email address they pay with.

Within that email you can drop in the download links section with a login and pass.

You will need a paypal merchant account to do this.

Or download and install Actinic shopping cart which does all of this.

Its client side though.

The process you want is

1. buyer -> email to actinic or other to say sale has gone through -> auto email response which is normally used for "payment recieved" "thank you" etc etc. But you will be using it to send them the above details.

Should work nicely.

I think there are lots of 3rd parties that do what you need.. You really need some sort of paypal manager.

But I've used actinic for the same thing as you and worked a treat.

I can upload it if you want.

Thanks for your answer however here is the thing, I can already use a shopping cart like zen cart but I want the payment process to be as fast as possible. I haven't converted well in the past when the costumer had to enter a million information into a third party shopping cart. I tryed to check actinic demo to see how the process goes but I couldn't see that much.

As for your first option, does it work with Credit Cards payment also?

I'm gonna try the free trial to see how it goes.
