Get rid of your customers (buyers of Chargeable Libs in this case)

[DonManfred]

What software do you use?

Feel addressed if you have chargeable libs like i have.

I need to get rid of the emails i need to send updates to

Best would be a software which can handle the paypal web-connection when a payment arrives...

Please share your knowledge, the name of a good software, whatever with me.

Thanx in advance for your hints, tips ;-)

Dont send any emails just update your thread with new versions and keep the old download link the same.

Give the user a password and everytime you update a new version the user could use the old link for that.

He just need to "watch" your thread and let anywhere software inform him about new versions

<- Does not meant to you

That´s what i initially wanted....

But something got wrong changing my old sharelink to "non expiring" (as the link was already expired) at the dropbox site....

Now i´m in the need that i need to send out mails to all "old" customers of my MySQL libs giving them a new Sharelink

Using php you could do it. There is a api I once tested. The customer is routed from (your) Website to the PayPal form to pay. Via php you can post all the data needed (item, Price, total). PayPal then calls 3 different php's (payment done, cancel and error) in which you can handle it.

When payment was successful, you can create a download link and send an email to the customer (all done via php).

Take a look at "PayPal Sandbox". You need to open an account (for free) and define a seller/buyer including mail addresses. Easy. Will post an example if you like.

Here the example. The zip contains 3 php scripts:

- PayPalPHP (the mail file)
- Success
- Cancel

Put all 3 files to a folder on your server and call PayPalPHP from your browser. The standard PayPal payment will open.

Of course you need a PayPal Sandbox account. There you define at least 2 customer accounts (seller and buyer).

With

$paypal_id='[email protected]'; // Business email ID

you define the receiver (=seller).

In Success.php you can send an email with the buyed content attached and handle some database entries (registered user, etc.)
