Download type store plugin

[Mike]

I would like a plugin like gold shop but it lets you download a file from drop box.It will take site money so it will use monetary system.
After the user pays it verifies the payment and then allows the download. I hope I explain it enough. I made some fps model rar files and I want to allow members to buy them with site money.
Can anybody do this for me?

That would require the dropbox file being only downloadable if purchased through this system and I don't think there's a way to restrict the file like that. If they got the link, they could bypass and download. At least, that's what I would think. I don't know any way to truly coincide dropbox with a plugin that way, yanno? But I could be wrong, for sure, so wait for another's opinion. =)

Well what I was thinking was after it verifies the payment then you get redirected to that address.

If anyone leaked the address would be the problem, or if they maybe found it through another method, like I dunno if it'd show up on google if you looked hard enough or if it's somehow linked to your account if they learn your name on dropbox or however it works.. I don't really know. It's just a potential large flaw if not thoroughly researched

[Mike]

How about p.ming the user after it's bought that the download will come in their e-mail. After it's purchased the staff member will get a p.m stating the purchase information along with the users information. That way the staff can send it away.
Is that possible?

At that point you might just want a manual process where they PM you and you manually remove the money

no plugin would be secure for this. all someone would have to do is view page source and get all of the dropbox links. put that url directly into a browser and voila - download begins.

Im with Elf on this, just utilize the PM system for private matters.

Okay thanks guys

[Wormopolis]

dont get me wrong, I think its a great idea.. but a plugin wouldnt be able to keep it secure and thus defeat the purpose.

[Mike]

I see what your saying about it not being safe. And the fact that most users know about the work around. so I'll have to find out if Texas can add a pm message to staff about the file that was bought. Then the staff member can e-mail it to the user.
Thanks for the reply Wormo
