PayPal have changed the behavior of how the payment data gets posted back to your site slightly. More details here:

I have added a new feature in eStore that uses PayPal's PDF feature to display the download links on the "Thank You" page which is a more robust way of doing this. The documentation has been updated accordingly:

Bottom line.... all of your stuff is working fine as I understand. You just need to use this new PDT option in eStore and then your download links will start to show up in the "Thank You" page too.

If you need an update for the eStore plugin then this link should help:

Thanks,

1. I made the adjustments on site #1 and it works perfectly.
HOWEVER my test affiliate is not getting a notice that they made a sell.
how do I set that up.

2. I set up an estore on a second site, using the same paypal account and I am NOT able to see the download link on the order page.....

When I debug this is what I get

FAILURE :IPN validation failed.
[09/19/2010 2:41 AM] - SUCCESS :Paypal class finished.

3. By making the adjustment that you suggest above, which is different from the step by step directions, that are outlined in a different part of this forum,

I am NOT seeing the "click to download" button on PayPal they way you have it set up when we purchase the plugin - but rather I get an auto redirect.

Each site is redirecting to the correct thank you page BUT
site #1 IS showing the download link and Site #2 is NOT showing the download link.

Thank you,
D'vorah

"my test affiliate is not getting a notice that they made a sell" - There is not feature that sends the affiliate an email telling them they made a sale (this feature is on my to do list to be added).

"I am NOT seeing the "click to download" button on PayPal they way you have it set up when we purchase the plugin - but rather I get an auto redirect." - When you use PDT you automatically get redirected to the "Thank You" page so there is no need to have a button that says "Click to download". I don't use PDT on my Tips and Tricks site which is why there is a button.

Do you have the updated version of the plugin installed on the 2nd site?

Thank you!

What do you mean "updated version"? I purchased the affiliate plugin the other day, I assume that is the most current? If not, how do I access the most current version.

I disabled the plugin from the subdirectory and installed it on the main domain so that it would work with the eStore.

I would like to install the affiliate plugin on 1 or 2 other sites, how do I purchase additional licenses?

I cannot figure out WHY the eSTORE is not working on the second site.
It does give the download link in the email but the thank you page does not include the download link, even though I have it configured the same as the first site.

THANK YOU for your support and excellent documentation and forum, very much appreciated.

Hi D'vorah, I will send you an email regarding the Affiliate License and we will also need to take a look at what is happening on your site so I will include a site access request.

We just released eStore with PDT (version 4.3.4) about 2 nights ago. I am pretty sure you need an update. The following post will explain more about how updates work:

Please let me know if you do not receive this email.

Thank you! Yes, I have 4.25 version.

Will you please email me the updated plugin along with a link to update instructions.

I will also enter a support ticket per your request, for the eStore issue.
Thanks!

Hi,
It looks like the "Enable Transaction Result Display" was not checked so it was not showing the links on the thank you page. I checked this option and everything is working fine now.
