almost appear appreciate business buyer cancel com continue digital doesn don download helps items list next notification paypal plan post purchase recommend require requires sale sell selling send service site software solution subscription system thank-you weeks working

I want people to purchase a subscription to my cartoons and then be able to go in and download the latest weekly cartoon every week. If thier subscription runs out, then they would have to go to my site again and purchase the subscription again before they can begin downloading cartoons again. I hope this helps. I appreciate your responses.

E-junkie is good solution for selling thing which require one time purchase. Say if you were selling a one time $15 pass which will let a buyer access your site for next 6 weeks and download anything you upload, in that case E-junkie can handle the sale and tie up with a
membership system on your end to add the buyer to your system's access list. However, you will need a system with which we will integrate.

Anyway, in you case however, it will be much better for you to use "recurring" payments.

I will suggest using http://www.amember.com/ for your requirements.

I also want to offer software download that requires annual subscription to continue working. Do you still recommend amember.com? Your post is from January, almost a year ago, so I thought maybe e-junkie might offer this by now? If not, do you recommend anyone else besides amember.com?

thank you, I hope to use e-junkie instead! Love the service.

Looking at the amember.com demo, digital download with subscription doesn't appear to be supported--even though they say it is. Looks like it is geared towards websites with subscription content, not shareware software.

With subscriptions, people usually sell memberships (in case of digital items) and for that they need to have a membership system in place and we'll need to send subscription start, cancel and end-of-term notification to that system. However, you can do that by using PayPal directly. So it does not make sense for us to offer a service in which we are not playing any role.

Unless we host the core membership system which deals with authenticating and granting access to whatever to the buyer (which we don't really plan to), we really have no business dealing with subscriptions.

Sorry :(
