Hi,
I'm looking for a developer to improve the file module, under the e-commerce packge, to provide a full anonymous purchasing support - that's, a visitor can purchase a file without creating/having an account.
In more wording, at date the Druapl e-commerce packge supports anonymous purchasing to the extent that a visitor is not required to open an account, rather only to fill in his email as part of the purchasing process. It's assumed that from this point it's the store's admin responsibility to ship the goods to the visitor.
Now, files (video, music, software, etc.) calls for special treatment as by nature they are not shippable. At date visitor must create/have an account, and the purchased files are populated into the "myfile" link in the visitor (user in this case) account. I'd like to avoid forcing a visitor to create an account, and rather if transaction is approved, to display a downloading link/url on the purchase confirmation page, and also append this link/url in the confirmation email send to the visitor, where the visitor can click and download the file.
To illustrate the process, and the required changes:
1. a visitor picks up file and add them to the cart
2. the visitor click on checkout
3. the visitor fill in his email address as part of the checkout process
4. the visitor pays via a payment gatweway
5. transaction is approved
