download file after paid

Question

See more:

I have built a website in which I sell an item and receive payment via PayPal. So I have downloaded the button code and inserted it into my html page. When someone clicks an image it shows him the PayPal site where he can pay.

If he chooses to pay, I will get the money but he won't get the file that he should. I googled it and I realized that I haven't written any code for the download part. I can't find how to do it either.

What do I have to do so when someone clicks that image and he pays me via paypal, so that he can automatically download the file? I appreciate your help!

I have worked with PayPal myself - everything your looking for is in the PayPal developer guide - presumably your using a Buy Now button (or similar) so look at the documentation for that. I'll admit it's not easy, in fact it's an absolute pain trying to understand their stuff, but really (and unfortunately) there's nothing better and it is far too much/too complex to put into just one answer. This link ought to help get you started:

Hope this helps,
