Is It Possible To Sell Virtual Products?

We have some virtual products like e-books to be sold. People who have purchased these products would be permitted to download them, just the same way that the Hikashop website operates.

I am not sure about this, but I may have read somewhere that Hikashop has special features to support sales of virtual/downloadable products. In Shipping Methods there is a field whether to include Virtual Product Prices. There is also a place where we can upload files for products under Products creation.

However, I am unable to find where in Hikashop I can limit downloads only to customers who have purchased that particular virtual product, say e-books. Just like the Hikashop website.

Thanks.

Hi,

You've already found it.
When you upload a file in the files section of a product, the system will automatically add a link to the order notifications and an entry in the downloads area of the customer once the order is confirmed.
There is nothing to configure. And these links can only be used by the customer who made the purchase so there is nothing to do for that either.

Hello,

The link you gave is a download link.
The page should be blank but the download of your file should start automatically.
Please note that the customer need to be log with his account in order to download the file otherwise he will be redirected to the login screen or have an "error page".
