I know this subject has been covered, sort of, before, but essentially I am trying to set up a store for digital downloads and cannot put all the pieces together. e-junkie's download facility looks great, but what I require is a half decent looking store in which I can offer the products by category, etc. I have looked at e-commerce store software like OpenCart, PrestaShop, Zen Cart, but cannot find out if any of them would integrate with e-junkie, or how. Also, some apparently have the option to offer digital downloads through a Paypal gateway, so then I wonder what benefit there is to trying to integrate the e-junkie cart into them? Any advice or direction would be appreciated.

Take a peek at one of my sites like http://www.scorporationsexplained.com/.



I don't have a gajillion digital products, but I have several dozen... I.e., a couple of do-it-yourself incorporation kits for each state which I sell off of a page. Note that the download in this case is a zip file with a PDF ebook and then a couple of Microsoft Word documents.



I also sell a small handful of additional ebooks (like the ebook at http://www.scorporationsexplained.com/taxdeductionsecrets.htm) and for these the download is a pdf. I like selling the pdf better because e-junkie stamps the pdf with the buyer info... (Or at least I think they do.)



BTW, the other thing I do is work with multiple sites. I also have a similar site that sells LLC DIY kits (see http://www.llcsexplained.com/)... and so I use it as, essentiall, another "specialty store" to hawk product.



Full disclosure: The traffic on these websites got beat up pretty bad with Google Penguin penalty, but before that they did okay.



Good luck with your ventures.

Okay, thank you. But what I am trying to do is find a way to set up a fully-fledged store and integrate that with e-junkie, if necessary.

Hello,



Our service does not integrate with other shopping carts, since we provide one of our own. Because we offer our cart buttons in HTML code they can be technically copied into any website, although a lot of the services which offer storefronts along with their shopping carts will not make it easy to add our buttons in place of the ones they want you to use.



All you need to do is build your own website and storefront and insert our buttons into it, and if you need help building the site itself our developer directory is a good place to turn to for help:

Thank you, E-JunkieMonster, that is exactly the answer I needed. I will build my own storefront to avoid software installation and upgrade issues and will then come back to e-junkie.
