WELCOME TO THE QUICK START GUIDE

This guide assumes that you have already completed the installation steps for DigiVendor found in our "readme.txt" file. The DigiVendor /admin/ area is littered with configuration guidance & most if it is quite easy to understand so the purpose of this document is simply to get you pointed in the right direction!
----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------
1) GENERAL CONFIGURATION
OK! Fresh into the DigiVendor /admin/ area, your first stop should be the Settings/Preferences section. Follow the instructions found on that page. Note that you can enable or disable the various help box's found throughout the /admin/ area from the Settings/Preferences page. We recommend leaving the help boxes on unless you are a seasoned DigiVendor user.

2) EMAIL TEMPLATE SETUP
Before you can get started selling your products you need to decide if you want to use Paypals "Immediate Purchase" (Buy Now) functionality, "Shopping Cart" (Add to Cart) functionality or both!

If you have chosen "Buy Now" functionality you will first need to create a new "Email Template". Click "New Template" from the "Email Template" menu & create an email message template for your buyers.
	*Note : You only need to create (1) "Email Template". Everyone product in your database can share it, but if you want to create more templates, you can create a different template for each product!.
	**Note : "Text Link" products act like "Buy Now" products. They will direct your customer to Paypal's checkout screen immediately. They also share the "Buy Now" type of "Email Template".

If you prefer to use "Add to Cart" functionality > Click the "Cart Template" link & setup your email template there. The same "Cart Template" will be used for all of your products. It is not possible to create more then one cart template. If you need that functionality use "Buy Now" functionality instead.

3) PRODUCT SETUP
Right! Now we are getting somewhere! It does not matter if you choose to use "Immediate Purchase", "Shopping Cart" or "Text Link" purchase functionality - they all share the same product setup (unlike our previous version!).

	3a) Under the "Products" menu, click "Add Product".
	3b) Enter a product name, and price.
	3c) Enter a product file URL. Make sure that your URL works! Also you should make sure that the file name does not use any special characters like quotation marks or "&" symbols. These "may" cause problems at download time.
	3d) Finally choose one of the email templates that we just made! By the way, DigiVendor will automatically append download information to the bottom of your email template message.

By the way, NO. You do not need to setup any IPN URL in your Paypal account. The IPN URL is passed in at the point of purchase via the Paypal purchase button code generated by DigiVendor. And YES. This feature does allow you to use other less share-bear-able IPN scripts alongside DigiVendor! ;)

4) PUTTING YOUR PRODUCTS INTO YOUR WEBSITE!
This is defiantly the fun part. OK so you just setup your product & you are now looking at a list of all the product(s) in your database (access this area later by clicking the "Manage Products" link. Look for a small icon which looks like a shopping cart with a little yellow arrow on it. This is the icon which will generate the purchase link for your website. Click it!
	a) After clicking the small shopping cart icon you will be taken to a page which contains several purchase code options. You can choose one (or all) of these purchase options. These purchase options are identical in purpose to product created using Paypal's Merchant Tools area (except that these products are configured for instant download delivery!).
	b) So all that you have to do is copy and paste the code into your website, where you want the purchase button to appear. 
	c) You can choose a custom button graphic from this section also, as well as perform a live test from the example buttons (these example buttons are live and working!)

That's it! Lather, rinse and repeat for your next product.

There are more fun features included with DigiVendor & they are explained within the /admin/ area. I am sure you will want to check them out!
