Downloadable Photos Too? PDF Print E-mail
Virtuemart gives you the amazing ability to sell both physical photos that you would send to your customers or allow them to purchase images for download.


Selling physical photos

This is probably the easies of the two options. Simply create a product for each of your photos by using the Add Product form on the Virtuemart menu. When all of your settings are file out make sure to assign it to a category. On our demo we have made the name of the customers the category name.


Selling downloadable photos

  • Do all the same steps listed above for a physical photo and save the product.
  • When the product is saved navigate to Admin/Configuration/Downlads.
  • On the Downloads tab click the check box that says Enable Downloads.
  • Adjust the DOWNLAODROOT field below that to where you will be storing your downloads.
  • Click Save when you are finished.
  • Now click on Products/List Products and find the product you just created.
  • In the product list there is a column called Media, click on the Number next to image ex: (1)
  • In the popup there may be images already present, these are the images for display on the site, not the download.
  • Click on the New button in the upper right.
  • Browse for the file that is going to be the downloadable product
  • Then in the File Type drop down select Downloadable Product File
  • Click Save

Now when a customer checks out with a downloadable item in the cart they will be asked for payment information and once the item is paid for they will be sent a download link via email.
