In most cases this will include an instant download once payment has cleared.<br /><br />One caveat though: Your material is adult and not everyone is willing to host such material. Whoever you decide to use, be sure to check their terms and<br />conditions carefully.<br /><br /><br />I have used e-junkie before (link at bottom). They host your material, take payments and then direct the customer to the download page for instant access.<br />The money goes straight into your Paypal account. I found it works a treat. Their rates are also very reasonable, charged by<br />storage amount (starting at $5 a month). As e-books and documents take up very little space, that would be good for you.<br /><br />Just a thought also. I hate PDFs - they are far from the best medium for reading books. Maybe offer different formats. EPUB is very popular, MOBI etc.<br /><br />Good luck with it.<br /><br />Link: http://www.e-junkie.com/Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970502759702586204.post-71150464913719673812014-11-19T23:14:30.937+00:002014-11-19T23:14:30.937+00:00http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/03/29/selling...http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/03/29/selling-digital-goods-online-e-commerce-services-compared/<br /><br />https://www.payloadz.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970502759702586204.post-2087831894614631532014-11-19T23:10:12.287+00:002014-11-19T23:10:12.287+00:00Take a look at www.shopify.co.uk.

It is a subscription e-commerce service, but you can sell pretty much anything from digital media to physical products.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970502759702586204.post-73432679705851988342014-11-19T01:20:49.326+00:002014-11-19T01:20:49.326+00:00I haven't used paypal to sell anything yet, bu...I haven't used paypal to sell anything yet, but https://cms.paypal.com/cms_content/US/en_US/files/merchant/paypal_digital_goods-express_checkout_getting_started.pdf looks promising.<br /><br />This document explains the technology:<br /><br />https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/express-checkout/digital-goods/IntegratingExpressCheckoutDG/<br /><br /><br />And there is even a wizard which step by step instructions to setup the integration: https://devtools-paypal.com/integrationwizard/<br /><br />You just need to edit orderconfirm.php in the section labled "TODO: Proceed with desired action after the payment <br />(ex: start download, start streaming, Add coins to the game.. etc)" to stream the file.<br /><br /><br />I guess it won't work on blogger.com, but you are probably able to execute php code on your institute website.CuriousAboutTheNextBooknoreply@blogger.com
