Owner's reply
Thanks for your nice review . We are waiting for docman to release the version which works with Joomla 1.5 native . Once Docman works with Joomla 1.5 native, Our extension will be ported to Joomla 1.5 native , too .
This is one of the best options for selling items via DocMan. Easy to install and configure.
There is some weirdness, however -- about 30% of the time, clients are not receiving the Download link in their email, so I have to manually send them the link. This is quite a pain. They've checked their Junk Mail folders, too, and it isn't there.
By main gripe, though, is the support provided by Ossolution. Other people's experiences might be different to mine, but I have requested support from Ossolution on two separate occasions, for two different reasons. BOTH times I had to wait weeks for any kind of response. Given that this is a commercial product, and given that it's an extension aimed at raising revenue for your site, this isn't up to scratch -- twice I lost quite a bit of income while I waited for any kind of reply. (The reply, when it did arrive, was helpful and did solve my problem... but it wasn't anything dramatically complicated and could've been attended to fairly quickly.)
On the other hand, I know others who've been very satisfied with Ossolution's support. But I thought it was worth mentioning my own experience.

The theme that we try to reflect on our website and in our product is "Simplicity & Elegance" We needed a simple, easy yet elegant solution to get the job done. We already use DocMan for our download manager and tying this into point-of-sales is a brilliant idea. This extension fits in nicely with our overall theme. We can a have a rich site with just the right features you need, easy access and use. Someone that is selling downloadable products from their website can be one step closer to acquiring and then retaining customers. At first we had a few issues trying to get it configured properly. Support was quick to respond and worked with us until everything was resolved and working smoothly. When you purchase a product and/or service part of the package is quality support and they have come though on all points. I can highly recommend this extension to anyone looking for a paid access solution.
