    Hello!

    I am working on a small site for a client and she needs to sell some books. For this I will need a basic paypal cart setup. I know paypal offers a free “paypal” cart, that will surely fit my needs as I will only have 4 items (books). My problem, is that as far as I know
    “paypal cart” does not support “automatic download” feature for a “.pdf ebook” for example.

    So I am thinking that maybe there is a module/extension for EE2 that I can download/purchase, in order to get this going fast!

    Hope someone can help me out on this! Thanks for your time!

    It’s not “automatic” per se’ but you can configure EE to send a post-purchase confirmation email.  Put the download link in that email.

    You’ll want to give people a link they can save, or a profile page w/download link they can return to to re-download their purchase.

    Trust me on this one…;)
