FTP upload and Thank You Page

Dave Meholovitch · #1 11-17-2008, 09:18 PM

I have created my Thank You Page and uploaded my digital product, but I am not sure how to link the Thank You page to the product that the purchaser has bought so they can download it. thank you , Dave

You achieve this by getting the (i.e. papypal ) merchant to send the client back to your thank you/download page.

Thanks David. but I am not making myself clear. I need to know where I get the html code to paste on the Thank You page to link to the product that I uploaded? Or is there a different way to do this? thanks, Dave

Just provide a text or a picture link on your return page to your download page.

i.e. DOWNLOAD NOW

clicking the above link will take you to this page again(only used as an example)

David. I guess I'm a little slow. Here's my process. Someone goes to my site and they want to purchase, they click on the Paypal button. Then they fill out the Paypal form and click continue, that takes them to my Thank You page right?, now they need to make one more click to get their digital product? right? You lost me with the return page? I am not sure how to do this. I really appreciate your help. Dave

Clicking a paypal button usually sends a client to paypal to PAY.....

Your return page is your thank you page OR whichever page you tell paypal to return to AFTER they have paid

(be aware that NOT all paypal payments are cleared straight away)

Okay! it's starting to seek in. But how do I link the product they bought so they can download it? I have uploaded the zipfile but not sure if its working? also I have created a separate Thank You page, should I just unpublish it and use they Paypal Thank You page? thanks, Dave

Dave Meholovitch · #8 11-18-2008, 12:19 AM

David. I don't understand why we are not communicating? I guess I must be explaining it wrong? I even called Paypal and they said I would have to work with my host. Dave

1) client clicks paypal button
2) client taken to paypal site
3) client pays for item/s
4) Paypal returns client to the url/address supplied by you when you created ...the paypal button.
5) client now back on your site (see 4 above) thank them and provide a
...download link for the purchased item.

i.e http:/yourwebaddress.com/folderwhereproductsare/product.zip

Dave Meholovitch · #10 11-18-2008, 04:09 AM

Thanks David. I am good to go except...I am lost on your 4 and 5?
I don't know how to put the download link on the Thank You page?
Dave

i.e http:/yourwebaddress.com/folderwhereproductsare/product.zip

Dave Meholovitch · #12 11-18-2008, 06:18 PM

David, I have the address setup www.mywebaddress.com/bz.zip.zip
I did set this up through FTP. I am lost on how to set this up so after people purchase they will be redirected to the thank you page wich will have my download link on it. I need specific steps. thanks, Dave

davidundalicia · #13 11-18-2008, 07:00 PM

I cannot give you step by step......you need to go to paypal and follow their instructions on creating a "buy now" or similar button.

Or use the paypal icons in bluevoda.

Note: your link above is incorrect.

Dave Meholovitch · #14 11-18-2008, 07:34 PM

Okay. I have tried to contact Paypal and PayDot to no avail. I have a Paypal buy button on my site which directs me to Paydot and then to Paypal. my site is www.howtostartyourbiz.com What is wrong with my link? thanks, Dave

Dave Meholovitch · #15 11-18-2008, 11:55 PM

Hey David! did you give up on me? Dave

Dave Meholovitch · #16 11-19-2008, 12:07 AM

David. don't I need to paste a code or my url in my Thank You page? Dave

davidundalicia · #17 11-19-2008, 12:15 AM

Dave, I have laid out exactly what you need to do.

Use the paypal buttons in bv, watch the paypal video tutorial and then
you will better understand what is required.

Or go to paypal.com and create the button required yourself.

Dave Meholovitch · #18 11-19-2008, 12:28 AM

Thanks David. I will go to the tutorial. But, I have the PayDotCom button and html on my site that goes to Paypal or the purchaser has the option to use credit card or Paypa. The reason I am using the PayDotCom button on my site, they claim they can track things better. So should I leave that alone or change? Dave

davidundalicia · #19 11-19-2008, 12:34 AM

With the amount of money that you are charging, I would go for a more secure type of download completley and NOT do it yourself.

Dave Meholovitch · #20 11-19-2008, 12:41 AM

What secure system do you recommend?

Also if I go through BV and add their buy button what happens to PayDotCom. will they still be there? Dave

Dave Meholovitch · #21 11-19-2008, 03:38 AM

David, I did what you said, I added the buy button. Now how do I add the Thank you page and url so people can download their purchase? Dave

Dave Meholovitch · #22 11-20-2008, 12:48 AM

Thanks David for all your help. I think I am finally there . I couldn't have done it without you! Dave
