10X Easier – UPLOAD ‘n SELL
UPDATE: 6 April 2010
In August 2009, I released Simple IPN so that selling ebooks online would become easier and affordable for many. It’s a simple script where you don’t even need MySQL. Upload the script and upload your product, and of course, edit settings.php a little bit.
I thought this is the simplest way to get started selling digital products on the Internet. But people still have problems especially with installations. This is because people use it on different platforms, different versions of PHP, different web hostings, etc…
So today, I have for you UPLOADnSELL.com … where you just upload and sell. I don’t want to write much about it because I want you to check it out.
As for Simple IPN, it’s going to still be here. If you are happy with Simple IPN and want to continue using it, please do. And also, I know that Simple IPN is a good start if you want to learn how to code PHP and learn about Paypal IPN.
Anyway, do check out UPLOADnSELL…
I was running a class for my Netpreneurs Online Classroom and we got to the part where we are suppose to learn how to deliver our downloadble digital products.
I don’t want to make this complicated for my students. I want to make this simple, but at the same time offers some form security from online thefts. So I started thinking of a simple script that should be able to do the following:
- Expiring download link
- Expiring download page
- Minimum setup
- No database required
- Uses Paypal IPN
- Emails the customers with their download info
- Customizable download page, thank you page and email
- Multiple files product package
- Allows Paypal Sandbox testing
- No need to create the Paypal Button form – will generate for you
- Don’t have to understand Paypal IPN – just know that it’s more secure
- Strict verification process – verifying price, Paypal email address and currency
