Hello guys!
I have a website with products that are downloadable. But i want to add product options, so when they go into a product, they click on option "video" or "mp3", and then they will choose one and will download the appropriate product.
Basically, in the product options, can I change the download link?

I'm having problems even adding a pdf download; I uploaded a file in pdf form and in zip format and receive incorrect file format or size errors...what's the trick with this?  I added file to downloads and relations and the products set up.

hello.
1. go to menu "catalog->downloads" and insert new one.
2. Go to product edit page, tab "relations" and check "download" to assist it to products.
Now, after order complete customer will see that "downloads" on account page.

Hello,

I got all that to work, but after sale using google checkout for now, does not return to link set up in API callback which is http:/toolsthatteach/index.php?rt=extension/google_checkout/callback

with toolsthatteach.com being the actual website

I also have this in google sandbox set up as the api callback link

Transaction order completes, but does not return for download

what url do you get on google checkout payment success? i mean link "return to merchant"
what is in integration console under google merchant account (tools->integration console)?

The return URL shown is "http://mreaman.trouble-free.net/AbanteCart/index.php?rt=checkout/success".  The domain name mreaman.trouble-free.net is associated with on the hosting server is "toolsthatteach" and this is what I put in the API callback in google integration as it did not accept mreaman.trouble-free.net without error.  Also, I received a response in the forum to set this to XML and another one to set it to HTML in google integration...which is correct?

Thanks.

I went into tools, integration and cut and pasted the below.

Also, how would zero cost downloads be handled?  In other words, must a customer go through the checkout process on a free download?

i already added this functionality into dev v.1.1.5.

1. do full backup of your data by hosting provider control panel.
2. login into admin and look into messages. There must be message about upgrade your AbanteCart up to 1.1.4.
3. Go to github and download zip with files that was changed by commit https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/commit/e1521a6e8dc9d62aca0c7312886c1c0aa3753487 and replace/add your files by given.

Ok, thanks.  I will do this.  Right now, I can process zero transactions via google checkout, so I have noted to use this for free downloads.  By the way, figured out google checkout; In test, you have to review the orders and change the status there to complete or shipped, then I could get to my downloads...EUREKA!!

mreamant

However, I do worry that an upgrade may change my existing set up in version 1.1.3; is this a seamless upgrade or will I need to set up some things differently if I upgrade the version from 1.1.3?

mreamant

Actually, I did see some forum posts re problems with payment extension after upgrade...took me awhile to figure out 1.1.3. 

Hence, I would like to be able to view the documentation first on how zero payments are handled in the newest version.

Now we will checks total amount. If amount is 0 - just confirm order and going to success page. right? :)
