Although there are a lot of paypal integration modules available none of them suited my needs. "Pay to Download XT" simply does what it says: Users have to pay to download certain files. Great, if you e.g. want to sell some eBooks. "Pay to Download XT" is a simple component that needs only minimum configuration. Main features are:
* Real accounts and test accounts (paypal sandbox) supported
* Simple configuration for Items to sell (Name, HTML-description, prices (price + tax and currency) and file upload)
* Large file support: FTP your files to the server and link them with your product
* CURL support for servers that don't allow fsockopen
* uses Payment Data Transfer (PDT) for security (status, e.g. confirmed or pending is not checked)
* Versions for Joomla 1.0 (also runs on 1.5 in legacy mode) and for Joomla 1.5 (native and/or legacy mode available)
* Also supports donations (with a minimum amount)
* Restrict no. of downloads (per user or overall)
* Transaction overview
* Keywords (meta tags)

"Pay to Download XT" displays the description for the item & a paypal "pay now" button. By clicking, the user is redirected to paypal, makes his payment and is directed back to your site and - if the transaction was correct - may download the specified file.

"Pay to Download XT" can either be integrated into Joomla! by linking (e.g. via menu item) to the component directly or by including the product into a content item using the (optional) plugin (mambot).

I downloaded this component/plugin in the hope that I will be able to use it without any problem. I also paid for the user manual (This is the catch, the component/plugin doesn't explain anything.. so you have to buy quick guide to understand what it needs to configure).

After buying a quick guide, I noticed that some of the configuration parameters are not available for PayPal personal account. I tried to post my question on the support forum but no luck.

Very bad experience with this component/plugin.

...just a problem: you have to link your product to a menu.

But, however wonderful.

Actually you don't have to link your product(s) to a menu, you can also use the bot to include the product & button into content items or create a HTML link.

This is a very good module if you dont sell many things.

And the manual is worth the 1 euro.

Superb support, which surprised me since it is a free component.

Im gona donate more to the developer if a sell something :)

Had trouble with it initially, as I had an older version of joomla, and there was a conflict with php 4.
Through the forum, they did GREAT work, and I got better support and guidance than I would have if I'd bought an expensive commercial product. I donated a wee bit, and I'm not in a position to donate much. But I felt so strongly about the great service and component.
I'll be using this for my upcoming ebooks on my website, while my friends pay $100's for online stores. Between this and virtuemart, I'm set!!! Great job!

I just downloaded this component and did a test buy at both the authors website and mine it worked flawless.

Thanks for a great component.
