Hello, I’ve purchased eStore – great plugin! But I think I need eMember too to achieve what I need to do. I just wanted to check before I purchased. My customer is a PR company, I require the site to offer free high resolution images and press releases for use in publications in exchange for name/email/company/publication. I have eStore working with NextGen and have priced all images at £0 (press releases are just copy/paste and have linked galleries at bottom with ‘add to cart’ buttons) I was at the stage of trying to edit the manual checkout form… all getting a bit messy now though and I don’t really want prices to show. If I had eMember would that allow (persuade!) visitors to ‘join’ first so that they could then simply log in to download?
What’s important is that my client is notified when images are downloaded and he has a way of checking the publications to see what images are used. He also wants to send those ‘signed up’ any new press releases. (haven’t tackled this yet!) I also don’t want visitors to have to enter details with each download as they are likely to need maybe 3 or 4 at a time.
How would you recommend I achieve this? Would this work with a combination of eStore and eMember?

Hi,
– Yes eMember would possibly work for you because you can protect your images and other content and make the content available for download only for your members.
– “What’s important is that my client is notified when images are downloaded and he has a way of checking the publications to see what images are used.”
eMember does not really have functionality regarding sending a notification after each download.
And since you say the images will be free you could possibly tweak eStore to send an email after a free download (see link below for example of similar request) but we’d have to doublecheck with Admin if this is possible.

– “He also wants to send those ‘signed up’ any new press releases.”
To achieve this I would recommend configuring an autoresponder (eg, Mailchimp, AWeber) with eMember and then using the autoresponder to notify your members of new downloads.
For more general information about eMember please see the documentation section here:
