Random user comments: "I am just amazed how great this shop script is. I have tried and paid for several scripts for my bookshop, but NEVER could I get it really done or have been satisfied 100%." "Amazing all this for only a few Euros." "A lot of functions and it's still that easy to use and install, just an amazing work and good script." "My shop is working really good I am very very happy with it." How does it work?You need a free Moneybookers or PayPal account to receive payments. Moneybookers or PayPal is similar to an online bank, you can make payments and receive payments once you have registered and your account is confirmed. Moneybookers or PayPal will be the intermediary between your customers and your Digital Shop. Your customers do not require a Moneybookers or PayPal account, they can pay using a credit card. 
 A customer visits your site and purchases one or more products from your shop. The checkout process is very simple, only an email address is required. The payment is handled by Moneybookers or PayPal, this is a free service, you pay a small percentage over the sale to Moneybookers or PayPal to handle the payment for you. Once Moneybookers or PayPal confirms the payment back to the shop your customer will receive an email containing a download key and optionally an invoice (with tax if applicable). With the download key the customer is able to download the product from your webshop. Customers do not need to login or register on your website, they only need a download key. The key automatically expires after a period of time or number of downloads. In case of a lost key, the customer simply enters the email address used in the purchase and the key will be resend. The shop works completely autonomously, once it is up and running no action is required from your end! Check some shop administration screenshots here: Screenshots or visit our 'live' shop here and purchase the script! Note to developers: This script works around a fixed template and is intended to run 'stand-alone'.  The Digital Shop in more detailYou can upload or FTP new digital content to the shop. You can write a title and description for the product, assign it to a category and set a price & discount. You can create as many categories as you want. The system keeps track of email addresses, order codes, download keys, PayPal transaction ID's, invoicing, revenue, number of downloads, expiry period of the keys and much more. It is possible to delete keys, reset or reactivate them and edit descriptions, titles, discounts and prices for the products in the shop. You can remove products from the shop or temporarily disable them. Updating digital content is possible by uploading the new file which will replace/overwrite the old file. By using the mass-email option you can reach all customers or specific customers for a product from your shop. You can inform them about a special promotion or if an update for a software product has become available. Optionally you can 'reactivate' the download keys so your customers can download the update for free by using their old keys. Another option to keep your customers updated is the integrated RSS feed. The coupon system allows you to generate cash discount coupons which can be used towards a purchase in your shop. The coupon system is also integrated with the mass-email system allowing you to send all your customers an individual coupon and drive sales. The option to add a manual sale improves your flexibility as a shop owner to grant customers complimentary free downloads, or cope with the rare occasion that a PayPal transaction was not properly confirmed back to your shop. Free downloads which only require email registration to download are also possible by providing a 100% discount on a product. This allows you to keep track of a customer base and inform them when a special promotion or update comes along. Selling photos from photoalbums is a unique feature to Digital Shop and creating an album is as simple as it gets, FTP your thumbnail size photos and original photos to the webserver and enable the photoalbum feature! Optionally it can stamp a watermark on your thumbnails and present an age disclaimer for albums with explicit content. The 'most popular' and 'featured product' option can be used to attract more customers to specific products. By using icons for your product it greatly enhances the look of the shop. Another option to attract visitors is the 'Add This' button which is displayed below the main menu to allow visitors to share your shop URL with many others. The 'rating system' allows customers to rate your products with stars ranging from 1 to 5. This adds additional value to your shop and confidence to your visitors. The 'search' option allows customers to search through the entire shop contents based on a keyword and presents the results in a clear overview to your customer. By enabling the affiliate system visitors will be able to register as an affiliate of your webshop and drive traffic to your website by placing links and/or banners on their websites. For each order these affiliates generate they will receive a commission. This is a great tool for generating more sales. The Digital Shop is 'SEO - Search Engine Optimized' it includes a customer and XML based sitemap and allows direct linking to your products by title or filename. Digital Shop has a 'stand alone order page' which means you can link directly to the order/checkout page by simply placing the checkout URL of a product on a page or email. The Digital Shop is available in 3 languages for it's front end but other languages can easily be added. The layout of the shop is customizable, you can select different table borders, colors, add your own borders or use custom headers, footers or backgrounds. Digital Shop keeps track of the revenue generated for each product and the fees you paid to PayPal. The transaction list which details each purchase can be downloaded and imported into any spreadsheet program for further analysis. Programming skills are not required, you simply provide your details in the configuration file using a text-editor like notepad or textedit, and the Digital Shop script will take care of everything else. The basic skills you require are: you should be able to FTP files to your website, edit the configuration file in a text editor to provide your passwords and details, visit the Moneybookers or PayPal website to create an account, and on some webservers it might be required to set the 'privileges' to the uploaded files (the read/write access).
Some notes on security, costs and taxes:Security The files from your shop are protected by a special webserver file named .htaccess. In addition filenames have been modified to a series of letters and numbers which are impossible to guess. The modified filename is only used on the server and will never be revealed. A purchase is presented as an on-the-fly download without using a direct URL to the file (large files of hundreds of MB's are no problem, the server keeps the connection alive during the download). This will adequately prevent unauthorized access to your files. The download key consists of 15 randomly selected characters and numbers, which will make a key very hard to guess as the script will block access after 3 failed attempts. The Moneybookers or PayPal transaction is checked on 7 points before a download key will be issued and implements the latest security recommendations. Costs The only cost to get started is the purchase of the Digital Shop script. The Moneybookers or PayPal account is free; you pay a small percentage over each sale they handle for you. Of course you need a web server to host the Digital Shop script. Taxes & Invoices PayPal allows you to set tax rules according to your location in your PayPal online account. These taxes will automatically be added during the checkout process with PayPal. The tax rules for Moneybookers are provided in a configuration file of Digital Shop and can be customized based on your personal situation. Digital Shop keeps a record of each purchase and receives country information via the checkout process, this is used in the invoice Digital Shop automatically creates and sends to your customer. Should your revenue be above your tax threshold for the country you live in, you will be able to identify the amount of taxes you need to pay. In case you sell to a business and they require a VAT refund, you can handle it manually with a refund. Purchase the Digital Shop script today and start making money!
