Hi Leighton,

 

I have added a free download to my site and given it a zero price.  However, when I click on it it is taking me to the PayPal checkout.  Is it possible to have a free download where users can download the file directly without going through PayPal?

 

I am using MS Core 7.x-2.1 and File Downloads Suite 7.x-3.1.

 

Many thanks,

 

Ben

Ben, File Downloads Suite

Ben,

File Downloads Suite doesn't currently have that feature. Membership Suite and Pay to Publish do. I just figured that if anyone wants to give free files, they can just place a link to them. I'll mark this as a feature request and see if I can get it added in to the 7.x branch.

Sincerely,

Leighton Whiting

Thanks

Leighton,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I was thinking the same thing, we can just place a link to the file and that will solve the problem. Though, it would be nice to have it as a feature as well.

Happy new year!

Ben
