Downloads for Sale for VirtueMart

Virtuemart plugin to sell downloadable files, or provide downloads linked with a bought product (e.g. drivers). The downloads can either be free for all (no registration, no payment), only for registered users of your site, or only after a product has been paid. For paid downloads, once the order has been confirmed, the download link will appear both on the product page and in the invoice / order confirmation (its appearance is configurable). An example:

In contrast to other downloads plugins for VirtueMart, this plugin tries to be as simple and straightforward as possible: Once a user bought a product, access to the download is granted, without any (time or download count) limits.

What this plugin tries to do:

• Allow free downloads (attached to VirtueMart products) for everyone
• Allow free downloads (attached to VirtueMart products) only for registered (and logged-in) users
• Sell downloadable files in VirtueMart, with no download restictions attached (a buyer will have unrestricted access after purchase, i.e. no time limit or by number of downloads)
• The direct download link will be displayed on the product's page as well as in the invoice (configurable)
• Download of paid downloads requires the ordernumber and order password (given in the link)

Common misconceptions:

The plugin can only serve static, local files that were uploaded through VirtueMart´s media manager. It can NOT make files available for download that are located on a different server or files that are different for each customer.

What this plugin does NOT do:

• Give access to downloads only for a limited period of time, or for a limited number of downloads
• Keep track of who downloads a file
• Give streaming access to movie or audio files
