Default Best packaged e-commerce site for info product

I have an e-book to sell. Is there a high quality, template-based e-commerce site that automatically sends the e-book upon purchase?

All suggestions would be appreciated.

You can always use one of the template based sites like weebly for your website and then use a service like ejunkie to take care of payment and digital delivery

Cheers

The most popular is ClickBank. They handle payment processing and you can get an army of affiliates selling your book also. BUT you must maintain the website and handle the electronic delivery.

I'm about to buy DLGuard to take care of the electronic delivery of my product, but you could also just stick the book in an obscure directory and link to it from your thank you page. You'd just need to change the name of the thank you page often (every few weeks) to prevent people from accessing it without paying.

Your other simple alternative is to do what I said above (with the thank you page, etc) and use PayPal to collect payment and have the PayPal site redirect to the Thank You page that has the download link.

You can use e-junkie and clickbank together. clickbank for payment and e-junkie for delivery. The nice thing is both those sites do work together ie. you setup your buy now button via e-junkie and it will take the user directly to clickbank for payment and then returns to e-junkie after successful purchase to fulfill the order.

I believe you can set this up with drupal without setting up a webshop.

If I recall correctly there is a module available where visitors have to pay to get acces to a specific page. Payment trough paypal is handeled by another module.

I use e-junkie, it's great. It will handle the payment, and automatically email out the ebook.

Your solution doesn't need to be complicated. Create a high quality site with an existing web design tool, and add a "Buy Now" button from e-junkie.
