How To Set Up Secure Download Delivery For Your Digital Products

Many people who sell digital products online are aware of the danger involved in doing so. Without using a proper payment processing and delivery service, they leave themselves open to theft of their downloads. It really is in an entrepreneur's best interest to utilize a secure means of collecting purchase money and to deliver product. A few sites for this part of doing business are 1ShoppingCart, e-Junkie and PayPal IPN. They're good examples of Secure Download Delivery services.

1ShoppingCart and e-Junkie

These two companies offer real time transactions and storage without having to download anything to your computer. Your server receives instant notification when a purchase of your product is made. Upon verification from your server back to the payment processing company, the customer receives the product. Both companies enable you to accept credit card payments. If you enroll in the right account, all of your back end activities, such as affiliate commissions, can be automatically taken care of as well.

The downside to these and other similar services is that there are recurring monthly fees to pay. Some can be pretty steep for a full, top-end service that takes care of Secure Download Delivery and the handling all of your back end tasks. Also, if your server is down, your sale won't go through.

PayPal IPN

PayPal's Instant Payment Notification is a good payment processing and secure digital delivery service that also offers all the features you're likely to need or want, same as above. Since PayPal is known the world over, you have the added bonus of using a program that your customers are sure to know and trust. Unlike the first two payment processors mentioned, there are NO monthly fees. Also, if your server is down, PayPal IPN will try you again later - no missed sales.

The only real downside to using PayPal IPN is the installation. If you have a computer programming background, you'll probably be fine. If not, you'd be well advised to purchase a user-friendly desktop application to implement the code for you. If you get the coding wrong, you are at high risk of not receiving payments. It's crucial to get it right, so check out some secure software help. The program deals with the code and files, you just need to upload them to your web hosting site.

Secure Download Delivery doesn't happen by itself. Business owners need to be proactive and vigilant to avoid incorrect set ups and unscrupulous people. It can't be stressed enough that you must ensure that you get the coding set up and installed properly for optimum protection, and sales that go through without a hitch.
