NOTE:
|
For each digital good you assign, any validation or fulfillment emails will be sent individually for each one.
|
After the order is placed, the customer will have access to their digital good downloads in two places -
From the Order Invoice where the digital good was purchased, and -
From the /members/MyDigitalGoods.aspx page, which is within the Customer Account area -
This is an example of a free download. In the next section, we'll use a different digital good product to illustrate some additional features.
Assigning Digital Goods to Options
-
From the Product Editing page, look in the left-column, and click on the Options and Variants tab to see if the product has options.
For this section, we will be using the 'Digital Goods with Options' sample product included with AbleCommerce.
-
From the left-column, click the Digital Goods tab. Note the page is a little different now. This is because the product has options, which will allow you to assign digital goods to each unique variant, as well as assign the digital good directly to the product.
-
Click the Attach Digital Good link to view the search form. Type in a search term and click the SEARCH button to view your results.
-
Check the box for the digital good that you want to assign to this unique option (variant).
-
Click the ATTACH SELECTED button after making your selection(s).
-
Repeat as needed, until all option variants have a digital good assigned.
-
The assigned Digital Good for this product's unique variants are shown.
-
To remove the Digital Good that is associated to this product, then click the red DELETE icon.
Digital Good Purchases
The next screenshots show the checkout and order process, if the customer is trying to purchase a paid digital good with all features enabled.
After the customer chooses an option from the product page, the Add to Cart button can trigger the license agreement. The license agreement may also be triggered by a digital good setting that lets the merchant select the point at which the license agreement will appear.
In the next screenshot, the customer must Accept the License Agreement to continue. If the user Declines, then they will be returned to the product page.
If the customer is required to accept the agreement, and does, then the product will be added to the shopping cart. If the digital good has a readme and/or license agreement, then they will be linked in the cart and checkout pages.
After the product is ordered, you can decide when you want the digital good to be activated (available for download). In this example, the download is not activated yet.
There are configuration settings that allow you do immediate activate the download, as well as generate a serial key. In this example, the download is activated and a serial key was pulled from the available inventory of keys.
