Hello everyone,

I want to set up a music effect store online.What I want to do is to have preview,and chance for customers to hear samples.Then they would be able to buy those effects online.Only when they paid for download,they would be able to download a file.

I can't find in oscommerce those options for music files downloading and paying.

Thanks
Best regards

osCommerce does have "digital download" capability that works as you describe. As for the previews/samples, in the product description just include a link to a suitable format sample file (.mp3, etc.).

If you're on osC version 2.2, it's something like Admin > Configuration > downloads set to true, and I think you have to mark each downloadable product as such. If you're on version 3 (beta), it's probably similar. Go to forums.oscommerce.com, Community > osCommerce Online Merchant v2.x > General Support and search for "digital". Apparently there are some complications with certain payment systems, such as PayPal IPN, so read up on it carefully. There's also a "Super Download" mod (contribution) that may be of interest.

I haven't played with digital downloads myself on osCommerce, so I would strongly suggest that you go over to their site and read the documentation and search the forum for other questions and answers on this subject.

For a "preview" (sample?), it's possible that the "Super Download" contribution may help you with that. I'm not familiar with it, so if not, you'll have to create a directory somewhere with the uploaded samples, and in the product description you just put a link (<a href=...) to that directory and file.
