Here's an overview of Modular Merchant's Digital Delviery process. More details on Digital Delivery are available on our website!1. Upload the Files you will Sell
The shopping cart includes a built-in web-based tool to upload the files you sell. Upload any types of files: MP3s, PDFs, Word Documents, images, ebooks, podcasts, etc.Shopping cart includes a secure storage area. Protect the files you sell!Have your own server? Your files can be hosted on your own server too.The maximum size of each file is 2 Gigabytes. (Nearly half a standard DVD!)
2. Create Products and Attach Files to them
Create bundles! A customer buys one product, and may download several files.Change the files attached to a product at any time; great for subscriptions! Customers only have access to the files they buy.Attach any number of files to your products. Mix and match.Use a web address instead of a file to sell access to a private website.
3. Customer Receives a Download Password
The customer's password is provided on a receipt webpage, by email, or both.A unique password is automatically created for each order.All passwords are recorded, and can be looked up by store Administrators.Even if a customer's order includes a dozen files, they only need one password. Customers may download files only after their payment has been approved.
4. Customer Downloads their Files
Tracks the date and IP address of all of the download attempts. The URL of your files is not revealed to the user, preventing "leeching". Each file can have a uniqueexpiration date.Limit the number of times each file can be downloaded.The download history is recorded in your store's Admin area.Restrict download permission by IP address. Prevents password sharing.
If you've used a website URL instead of a file, the Download button will change to Visit Website, and will load the site within your store's downloads area; without revealing the source URL of the website.
5. Manage your Digital Delivery orders
Your store's administration area includes a full-featured control panel for managing all of your digital product sales.
Track what files are being downloaded.Resend customer's their download instructions with the click of a button.Track the date and time of all download attempts.View the IP address of each download attempt.Edit each order's expiration date — or grant more download attempts.Log in to the customer's download area to see what they see.
