Hi Folks. I’m building a site for selling photographs as digital downloads (primarily). I have 350 photos in in 6 different sizes with two different license options. To charge (though PayPal) the correct amount for a given size with a given license I will need, for one photo, 12 PayPal generated codes with corresponding unique Item ID’s. To do all 350 photos would mean generating 4200 different PayPal code (I’m using hyperlinks). (btw, the PayPal Add-to Cart button gives up to 10 different options, but only offers ONE Item ID so it’s not an solution).
This is what a typical Sales page on the site looks like (there will be 50 photos, there are 7 additional pages like it).

Needless to say, that’s an awful lot of work. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to go about dramatically reducing the PayPal steps? Such as a drop down for a size (relating to a unique photo and it’s unique size), a drop down for a license option, and finally, an Add to Cart button (all achieved without the thousands of PP code generating generating steps, however). The kind and extremely helpful folks at Softpress suggest (none too enthusiastically) that perhaps (as in a real maybe) a PHP-MySQL strategy of some sort may work, something I am not at all familiar with. Is a proposed site like mine just not a good fit for FWPro? Any and all suggestions/comments welcome. Btw, Linklok has taken care of the digital uploads beautifully so that’s already taken care of. It’s just the magic set of buttons for a site like mine using Freeway Pro seems all too elusive (unrealistic?).
I do not want to start having to learn Dreamweaver as I am a BIG fan of Freeway.
Many Thanks, Marcos
