Hi,
I am selling (as a unit) a downloadable mp3 file plus access to an on-line video that is embedded on my site; the online video part, by default, will therefore have no expiry date, customers should be able to access it as often as they wish.
How do I configure E-store to sell thit as a unit?
Many thanks
Bennie Nau
First add your mp5 to eStore as a digital product.
Next you turn the page with your online video into a digital product...

Then you bundle them together, into a product bundle...

The default for link expiration is the lesser of 5 tries or 24 hours. This is a global setting. Setting the links to a large value would be acceptable, but as I said, will be applied globally to all products.
As a compromise, you can increase the settings to a "reasonable" value, like the lessor of 12 tries in a 1 week (168 hour) period. You would then setup a "Send me fresh links" page containing the [wp_eStore_download_link_sender] shortcode form. This would allow buyers to get "fresh" copies of their download links emailed to them. Note: To use this feature, you must install the "extra shortcodes" plugin for eStore.
Many thanks for your reply.
What I've opted to do instead is to display a message on the 'on-line' video page telling to bookmark the page if they wish to return.
Much appreciated

Thank you .. this opens up a new question.
Is there a way (combining eStore with one of your other products) where someone can buy aa product and then
- get the links on the thank-you page (as already happens)
- get the email (as already happens)
- and then AUTOMATICALLY be added to a user-group (which as access to the on-line video they've purchased?
The only thing with that - I'd have to create a user-group for every on-line video that's for sale?
Any ideas - there must be a smart way of doing this :-)
Best wishs

If you want to add the user of each video to a user-group then you will have to create a user-group for each video (eMember relies on user group).
Thanks for the replies.
Before I buy eMember I'd need to know it can do this:

Can you help here or should I post the question in another forum?

No, we don't have a product that will do exactly what you are after.
