Seeing that Stephen has now officially launched this, I thought I'd give my personal opinion on it. 

I can most definitely vouch for this addon, it's excellent!  I was using Download shipments plugin from the extensions store but it just didn't have the features I required, plus I had a few issues with it in the beginning with things just not working so I was suggested by Max that this was the product that would probably suit my needs.  Mainly  I wanted to be able to control the number of downloads and the time period that customers could download the products, I also wanted to be able to reset that download number/time if I wanted if / when it expired.  I wanted to be able to serve some of the larger files form an external server (in my case form Amazon S3) but still be able to cloak the links and give the appearance that they were still coming from my own website.

After a few very promptly replied support emails from Stephen I decided to take the plunge and buy the new Digitoll Downloads component.  Boy am I glad I did!  It works absolutely flawlessly, it's easy to setup and use and I was even able to import all my products form the old download shipments plugin into the new Digitoll downloads system.  Completely painless!  Every thing works as it should, support is excellent, if you have any queries, Stephen goes above and beyond to get you the answer, even when I had an issue that wasn't actually directly related to the  Digitoll downloads component Stephen still helped me out to get it sorted.  I can't vouch for this product and Stephen enough!

Yes it costs a little more than the Virtual products shipment plugin in VM extensions shop but this is most definitely one of those cases where you get what you pay for.  IF you need to be able to sell digital download products then this is the VM2 addon for you.  Your customers will get a fluid positive experience and you get the pleasure of knowing that everything will work without you having to worry at all about your downloads on your site.  Total control in an easy and very configurable manor.

Go buy it today!

Hi - We're really interested in evaluating this extension for our clients, but are wondering if there is anywhere we can see how the admin portion works, the configuration fields, etc.?  Screenshots, video, demo site?

Thanks in advance.

[Stephen Roberts]

PolishedGeek, we don't have a demo site set up just yet, but you can see screenshots here: http://www.digitollsoftware.com/#gallery and a little more detailed "guide" at the bottom of this thread: http://www.digitollsoftware.com/forum/6-general-questions/43-step-by-step-installation-configuration

Feel free to ask questions!

Hi guys  ,

I am a client of Digitoll for the download plugin, and I used it to sell downloadable virtuemart extensions at www.cmsmart.net

- The support of Stephen Roberts is excellent
- The plugin working well, my site is another excellent example for this plugin

Hope this help

Since this plugin does not have any demos, first I'd like to urge others who have used this to put up their live site links here for people like me to view. But my main question is this. I want to sell products in joomla. Some will be downloadable, some will be for "paid" services. This services have expiry dates e.g 1month expiry. Can this plugin actually start a countdown from when the product is actually sold, down to 30days and mark such product as expired or renew like whcms does? I'd really be very happy if it does this.

Joe,

I'm not sure exactly how the logistics would work for your "paid services", but DigiToll Downloads does have an expiry on product downloads. You can set the expiry for 1 month if you desire (and also a download limit), and once the download expires, the user can no longer access the download. You, as the administrator, could go in the order details in the back end and reset the expiry which would extend the expiration by another month.

There are screenshots on the DigiToll site (www.digitollsoftware.com) that show the config options if that would be helpful.

Multiple download custom fields per VM2 product?  NICE!

[PolishedGeek]

@Stephen - Is DigiToll compatible with guest checkout? Or does every customer have to create an account for security reasons?

[Stephen Roberts]

Yes, DigiToll Downloads works with guest checkout. Behind the scenes, the downloads are accessed via a download code, and that code isn't tied to a user account.
