I have a website with a store and is to download instrumentals. there is a "buy now" button that sends the customer to paypal and the customer goes through the transaction and once the payment is complete they are sent to a page that has the download link. I don't want the page with the download link accessible for people to just enter the url and have the download link i want it locked someone unless the person goes through the transaction proccess only. If anyone can help please respond.

Have you considered using a service like Payloadz.com ?  Other methods will require some scripting knowledge - what is your experience with server side scripting?

Never really heard of sites being able to do that, payloadz sounds like exactly what i want except they want a monthly payment with a percent of the sales with a flat rate,  I'm wanting to know how to do it on my own site or atleast a cheaper site like payloadz

Well, if you're a decent coder you can build something yourself using the PayPal APIs? What is your level of experience? Otherwise, take a look at this product: http://www.alurian.com/paypal-download-manager/paypal-download-manager/

I'm not endorsing it as I have no direct experience, but it seems worth taking a look at.

I have moved this post to the Dreamweaver Applications Development forum - a more suitable location, I believe.
