Publishing titles online

There are many options for selling digital content online. The simplest would be to use a shopping cart such as cubecart or osCommerce (both opensource) and allow users to download the Lectora published content after the purchase. Cubecart and osCommerce are both PHP based, which will run on your Apache server, and have a digital download option. If you prefer to host the content (rather than allowing a download), you will need a password protected site. This can be quite simple to do using PHP or similar. Of course, you'll still need to have a shopping cart of some type to process the transaction. You will definitely want to have an automated process so that that userid/password is created during the checkout process and then the user is directed to the site where the content is hosted. Another option is subscription-based content. This does become a bit more complicated but there are many good shopping carts out there that handle this with a 'Members Only area'. A quick Google search shows quite a few with this type of functionality.Edited By: JodyB on 2008-8-24 21:54:7
