Description
This application is intended to extend/interface with the FoxyCart! e-commerce platform. It allows clients to purchase downloadable products (such as software) through FoxyCart! and yet host and manage those products on their own server, or even using shared hosting. The client is emailed a unique, secure download link which will provide them with their purchased file.
Downloads can be restricted with an expiration date or maximum number of downloads. The products and downloads are managed via a MySQL database. Files are stored and downloaded from the file system. It is also capable of storing in the database but file system is recommended.
