I have a complicated question! Perhaps I should direct it to PayPal...

I created a URL using iWeb. I have just set up PayPal on my site to sell sheet music. I'm trying to automate as much of the purchase process as I can. Currently, customers can see a sample of the music (not the entire song). I want customers to be able to click the add-to-cart button, and once they have paid, have an email automatically sent to them with a link (which would expire within 120 days) that would contain the full sheet music for them to download and print.

I was thinking I could create an iWeb page that is only accessible to the buyer once they have paid, but I don't know how to do that.
Can you give me any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi,

PayPal itself does not offer expiring links. Also this is not possible with iWeb. The information about the expiring link has to be on your server and the website must access this information.

You would have to use something like WordPress with a member subscription plugin or similar.

Regards,
Cédric
