Overview
Some merchants sell digital content that requires downloading. These can take many forms such as; pdf, mp3, mp4, .doc, etc. In UltraCart you can setup your account to automatically provide a way for your customers to download them from you. You will need to assign the document(s) to each item that they correspond to in UltraCart. Since they are all uploaded in the digital library you only need to upload it one time there to use it in multiple items.

UltraCart's digital content delivery system is priced based upon the bandwidth used to deliver the merchandise and the storage associated with the content.

PayPal Fast Checkout
PayPal Fast Checkout does not gather any information on the order record other than the email address. Because no other information is collected from the customer in order to complete the fast checkout, sales tax cannot be calculated.

|---|---|
| Download attempts | The number of download connections before the temporary download link becomes expired. |
| Link Expiration (In Hours) | The number of hours the temporary download link lasts. |
| PayPal Fast Checkout | If you check this box then the only information the customer will need to enter during checkout is their email address. No other billing information (name, address, etc.,) will be gathered. |
| Accept All Payment Methods | If you check this box then the customer will be allowed to pay by any of your configured payment methods.
