 How it works: Modular Merchant's Digital Delivery System
Modular Merchant uses a sophisticated digital delivery system to allow you to sell and distribute your digital products from your shopping cart.
Below is a list of the steps to create a digital product.
 |
 |
 1. Upload your files — The shopping cart's built-in upload tools make it easy!
- 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. Attach your files to your products.
- 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 buys your digital product and receives a download password.
- 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 the files they purchased.
- 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 unique expiration 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 orders in your Administration area.
- 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.
