hello. this is my first post on this site. i am a web designer and one of my clients sells a few items via paypal. this was set up by her previous designer and although he has given me some information and suggestions, i can't get the setup to work.

the problem is that paypal allows only one auto-return URL to be specified in the account. but my client is selling files and wants them to download immediately once payment has been accepted. i cannot figure out how to do this through paypal.

i know that there are programs like Dlguard that have some work arounds for this problem but spending much money on one of these programs is not an option AND encryption is completely new to me. i downloaded a trial of digital vault (which was suggested by the previous web master) but i can't see any options to deal with this issue.

so again the basics are:

selling 3 files via paypal - each requiring their own auto-return URL as well as encryption to prevent seeing the URL in the page HTML source.

any suggestions????

Return to a single file with product id's passed as a post to that file, than your server may know which product/file to send to visitor looking from those post inputs.

This option requires some knowledge of PHP and Form Objects.

Are you advertising here? :spam:

That script looks so much like osCommerce with a contribution, or maybe osMax?
