Phoca cart and PayPal and --oops-- closing the browser

Post by mikewitherell »

What if a buyer of a digital download PDF successfully goes from my Phoca Cart shopping site; then to PayPal; then clicks return to merchant. But, what if they close their browser and later re-open the web browser to my site? How do they get back to the download page (which is set to remain downloadable for 3 days)?

Via link in email or downloads page for registered users (which you can create in menu)

Where, exactly, is that done?

Also, where is the email for a downloaded order setup? I don't see it in Phoca Cart.

OK, I realized from your reply that I can make a menu link for downloads. Thanks!
Now my question remains more or less like this:
When someone purchases a digital download PDF, how do you send them an email alert/acknowledgement that includes a download link? Does Phoca Cart do that?

Hi, emails are sent per order statuses. So if the order is switched by payment method e.g. to confirmed and you have set that the email will be sent, then you can just add the links to download per variables, see:
