Really nice job, folks! It took about an hour to get a product up (not five minutes), but it was very easy. Everything works as advertised.

Hi there

I’m wondering if you guys use mod_xsendfile to handle the files.

Hi –

Is there a way to leave the price field user specified? While I am mostly using the plugin for pre-priced digital content, I would also like to have an option where a price can be entered manually — to pay against services.

Thanks!

Hi, The files can be hosted anywhere you want as long as the eStore can access them. This means no password protection, hidden behind a firewall and so on.

Hi,
I use Amazon web services storage and just want to make sure my products can sit there (rather than on my website) and still be accessed via the shopping cart? I didn’t see mention of using a download URL other than one from on your actual website.
Thanks

Hi Adam, The checkout process is handled by the Payment gateway (example: PayPal). Since PayPal is handling the transaction you do not need a SSL. The transactions is not processed though your site. You only need a SSL when you accept payments (mainly credit card payments) directly on your site.

Do we need an SSL cert for the store? Especially the checkout process? I don’t quite understand how this works…
