Here’s the problem for hundreds, if not thousands, of website owners.

If you use Paypal as your payment processor for selling digital goods (ebooks, software, passwords etc.) it is quite possible, depending on your setup, for visitors to your website to download your product without paying for it.

The way this works is that visitors can click on “View Source” in their browsers to see the exact HTML you’ve used to construct your webpage which shows, as clear as day, the website address of where your digital product is.

In theory customers should be sent to this page *after* buying, but the unscrupulous can quickly and easily get around paying in many cases.

Until now there were only three options.

Firstly, risk it and hope for the best (if you even knew such a thing was possible). Option two was to integrate Paypal’s own complicated solution with your website, and the third was to wait until payment had been confirmed and then send out the product manually (which for a successful product can get very time consuming indeed).

Until now, that is.

There is now a forth option. What I like so much about it is that it’s stylish, professional, far safer and is very cheap to implement. Bearing in mind how many illegal downloads you’ll be stopping, you should see your sales increase enough to quickly cover the small initial outlay of this solution.

Infact, it’s such a good system that even Paypal have endorsed it in the past.

Here’s exactly how it works.

Basically, the new piece of software called “Flash Paypal Generator” inserts the HTML code that lists where your product can be downloaded from and places it “into a Flash button, which can’t be viewed when looking at the HTML code, thereby hiding the download URL”. Ingenious!

If you’ve got a Paypal account and a product download page, you just fire up this simple-to-use software, enter the most basic of details and in a matter of a few minutes you’ll have your own unique, secure “order” button ready to insert into your page in the usual way.
