I am trying to configure a website with files downloadable for purchase using Drupal 5.1 and e-commerce v3.3. I set the store for allowing flexible purchasing to allow users the freedom of not setting up an account with drupal, and the product was also set as flexible, with a price of $0.01, and with the payment processor of paypal set to minimum purchase of $0.01.

The transaction went through, however after being charged, drupal redirected me back to the main website to the URL of /store/history/0 and denied permission to view. As there was no "My Files" with an anonymous user, there is no place to grab the file as an anonymous user once the item is paid for.

Is this user error or behavior by design ? ARE THERE ANY PLANS TO ALLOW ANONYMOUS INSTANT DOWNLOADS IN THE FUTURE ??

Thank you

Sean

As far as i know the buyer must have an account to download the file (and would glad to be proven wrong), please see http://groups.drupal.org/node/5708

Although one may argue about if it's a bug or not, I am setting this to by design because it's impossible for an anon to have an account and "My files". The redirection thing also is a part of PayPal...

You may find this module useful though http://drupal.org/project/quickfile, I am testing it myself right now as an alternative for anon file download purchases. Of course it could be nice if this could be integrated into e-Commerse but I doubt it will be for this version.
