How to combine a d/load digital product with an on-line view (with no expiry)

[DeepLiving]

Hi,

I am selling (as a unit) a downloadable mp3 file plus access to an on-line video that is embedded on my site; the online video part, by default, will therefore have no expiry date, customers should be able to access it as often as they wish.

How do I configure E-store to sell thit as a unit?

Many thanks

First add your mp5 to eStore as a digital product.

Next you turn the page with your online video into a digital product…

Then you bundle them together, into a product bundle…

The default for link expiration is the lesser of 5 tries or 24 hours. This is a global setting. Setting the links to a large value would be acceptable, but as I said, will be applied globally to all products.

As a compromise, you can increase the settings to a “reasonable” value, like the lessor of 12 tries in a 1 week (168 hour) period. You would then setup a “Send me fresh links” page containing the [wp_eStore_download_link_sender] shortcode form. This would allow buyers to get “fresh” copies of their download links emailed to them. Note: To use this feature, you must install the “extra shortcodes” plugin for eStore.

Many thanks for your reply.

What I’ve opted to do instead is to display a message on the ‘on-line’ video page telling to bookmark the page if they wish to return.

Much appreciated

You should also, perhaps, remind them not to share the bookmark.

Thank you .. this opens up a new question.

Is there a way (combining eStore with one of your other products) where someone can buy aa product and then

– get the links on the thank-you page (as already happens)

– get the email (as already happens)

– and then AUTOMATICALLY be added to a user-group (which as access to the on-line video they’ve purchased?

The only thing with that – I’d have to create a user-group for every on-line video that’s for sale?

Any ideas – there must be a smart way of doing this

Best wishs

I’m sure thre must be a way of using eMember to accomplish this.

If you want to add the user of each video to a user-group then you will have to create a user-group for each video (eMember relies on user group).

Thanks for the replies.

Before I buy eMember I’d need to know it can do this:

Can you help here or should I post the question in another forum?

No, we don’t have a product that will do exactly what you are after.
