How To Accept Payments For Downloadable Digital Goods
TweetYou’ve decided to sell something. Maybe it’s an ebook or a script or some other downloadable product. Maybe you wrote or programmed the product yourself. Maybe you paid for the rights to sell something someone else programmed or wrote. In any case, you have a product to sell. Now how do you take payment and deliver the goods?
The first time I sold a digital product, I signed up with Paypal, slapped a Buy Now button on my site, and emailed the product to the buyers each time Paypal notified me of a sale. That tended to cause problems, however, whenever someone bought the product in the middle of the night while I was sleeping, or worse, while I was out of town for a few days. The buyers didn’t like waiting until I got around to noticing that I’d gotten a sale before receiving their product.
I’ve tried several automated solutions since then. At the moment, I’m using E-junkie and it seems to have all the features I could ever imagine needing. It lets buyers use various methods of purchase (Paypal, Google Checkout, Authorize.net, and more); automatically lets buyers download digital products; supports discount codes; lets you set up an affiliate program so others can sell your product; and lots more. What I like best is the price. For up to 10 products, it’s only $5.00/month, with no limits on bandwidth or number of downloads, and no extra charges.
Unless you are a large company, and if you are, you aren’t reading this anyway, I’d recommend E-junkie for your shopping cart payment processing needs, especially if you are selling downloadable digital goods.
Happy Selling!
