Downloading My Products

I now have a new process for delivery of the items on my site. The old process required me to manually setup downloads. My new process is automated. Buying is still simple: click the buy button and the item appears in your cart, click checkout and you have the option of signing up for PayPal or not or using an existing account to pay. It’s the after payment process that is new. PayPal still sends a confirmation of payment but it also behind the scenes contacts the download provider for me, PayLoadz. PayLoadz job is to send you an e-mail with your order information and links to download the item(s) you just purchased. It has a 48-hour time limit on the original message they send you but I can extend that if needed.

It’s simple really once you get the Order Information message you

1) Click on the link provided or copy & paste it into your browser

2) Right click on the item link and go to save as

3) Navigate to the folder you wish to save in (personally I put everything on the desktop and move it to it’s folder later on… just faster and easier for me)

4) Repeat for any other items you purchased

It’s that easy! Once the items are on your system they are your patterns to keep. You may make up the pattern and sell the finished item but NOT the pattern or the file for the pattern. The only thing I ask is if you sell the finished items you make please give credit to the designer in the form of my name and at least my web address. If there’s question about this drop me a note and we can discuss it.
