Overview
To control when a download will be offered, you need to use Squirrelcart's rule system. The rule system is described in detail in the Managing Your Store > Rule System section of this documentation. You can offer downloads based on just about any set of conditions you can come up with. Below, we will show screen shots of some common scenarios you might need to setup. We will not discuss how to actually create the Rule Sets shown in the examples, as this is explained in the main Rule System section. You can assign rules on Download Sections and Downloads. If all downloads for a particular section should be offered based on the same conditions, it is more efficient to assign your rules to the Download Section record itself. If each download has different criteria for issuing it, you are better off assigning rules on the Download records themselves.
The most common Rule Set needed for downloads is one that will not allow a file to be download unless a particular product has been purchased. The Rule Set in the example below will only allow downloading when the product "Zorgon V" has been purchased.
If you wish to offer a download only when a particular product has been purchased, and you wish to also limit the amount of time that they can download after ordering, use the example below as a guide.
