Ubercart without a cart

Posted by BrianPagan on November 19, 2012 at 8:44pm

Hello,

I have only 1 downloadable product that I would like to sell. I am trying to use ubercart for that. But I would like to get rid of the cart and the checkout process and have a paypal button on the same page where the product description is. I know how to put a paypal "buy now" button on my page but with that I do not know how can I send an email to the client with login information and download instructions. What is the best solution for 1 downloadable product website n drupal?

I am new to this, installed drupal a week ago and since then have been watching ubercart tutorials, so I have ubercart set up already.

There are paypal modules that are probably more appropriate. They typically let you configure the "thank you" page and you could probably use rules to send an email when the page is reached.

Also this might work if they provide some rules so that you could grant a certain role to a user after purchase?

I don't think there's anything out of the box for Pay Pal. You have to somehow have Pay Pal indicate to your site that the order was processed and if successful it would grant a use their role so they can access the files.
Have a look at http://drupal.org/project/lm_paypal

I believe you can do this with UC but I've never tired it. In UC you can disable the checkout process and using Pay Pal Express the customer will be shown a Check Out With Pay Pal button on the Cart page. In order to get this in UC 3 go to admin/store/settings/checkout and uncheck the box that says Disable this to use only third party checkout services, such as PayPal Express Checkout or Google Checkout.

This will remove the checkout link in the cart block and only leave the View Cart button. If you enable Pay Pal Express this will show a Check Out With Pay Pal button on the Cart page.

Using http://drupal.org/project/modules/paypal?f[0]=drupal_core%3A103&f[1]=bs_project_sandbox%3A0 I find at least three modules which would help (though they look like api modules)
