Hey all,

So we're nearing the release of my new game: 



We're doing a download to own version, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to create a pre-order system.  Paypal, e-junkie, etc., all these e-commerce systems don't appear to have a software pre-order system where I can send a download link once the game is complete...  can anyone help me figure out what to do?

thanks!

i've never heard of e-junkie. however, if you use paypal, you need to either write some php scripting to send an automatic download, or do it manually. however, paypal is *not* an e-commerce service. e-commerce services are like fastspring, plimus, and bmt-micro. they're what you're looking for.

Write the email address to a database when you get an preorder. Then when you finished the game you can write a script, that generates downloadlinks and sends them via mail to each customer. Should be setup and done in an hour or so.
