    Downloadable content

    Noticed that dashCommerce.com has the feature to sell downloadable content. I have not seen it in the v3 release...

    Will it be included soon? or did someone figure out how to make it?

    Thanks,

    I created a site to sell downloadable product but I used version 2.2.

    What I did is I added a field in Product table, which stores the url for the product download.
    Added the textbox in the Admin screen and also changed the Order class method IsHtml to show the item description as a downloadable link

    Thanks,

    But my concern is that people could then share the content. What I would like to implement is that the link is only available for a limited time period such as 24 hours or 2-3 days.

    Also the link must be a Guid type link that changes everytime the user logs in his account. Finnally the refferer must always be the user account page.

    Am I being over protective? My clients want to sell MP3 music files, hence there is no product key or other method for controlling piracy.

    My approach should work for you , but you need to add little more functionalities.

    Add 2 new columns in order item table, one with a guid and one field with expiry date,  so your download link should take the user to a download.aspx (or some aspx) page with a querystring, validate the querystring with the new columns in the the Order table and it is valid open the real file?
