As you can tell if you are reading this post, I use WordPress to support my website. I have been an avid Photoshop hobbyist for some time and have gotten tired of giving my work away so I started selling it here on my website. At first I used Paypal scripts to generate a link to Paypal and create the transaction, but the problem was that I needed to check my email and send the appropriate Photoshop information to the purchaser. This worked out OK, but I wondered what I would do if I went on vacation, or wasn’t able to send the information in a timely manner.

Enter the concept of automated digital delivery. A person buys the goods and they are sent on their way automatically. I set out to find a package that would integrate with WordPress, Paypal and be secure, not keeping a download link active for the entire internet to have access to.

What I found was great. A very inexpensive and easy to use package that did everything I wanted and more. The product is called “WordPress eStore Plugin” and the seller of the package has a great website that can explain it a lot better than I can. You can visit his store by clicking on this link: WordPress eStore

Installation was as easy as any plugin, and while it took me a while to make sure all the settings were correct, it went without any major difficulties. The seller of the plugin has a great website with a lot of videos that show exactly how to do the install.

I have been using this plugin since the first of 2010 and it has been great. Easy to use and setup. I have no regrets or misgivings about buying or using this plugin. – Paul
