Download sales management tool DLGuard has been helping individuals selling products online for a number of years now. This DLGuard review focuses on the security and independence that this tool provides to ebook authors. Note though that its core functionality is equally useful for any other type of file that can be sent over the internet.
The product is a set of scripts that cover all the functionality required of a sales management tool. This includes inventory administration, providing on-site purchase links, interfacing with Paypal (and other payment processing companies), etc.
It supports the three principal methods of completing checkout process on the internet. These methods are single item sales (which can include bonus products if you so wish), multi-item sales and membership registration sites. Handling the payment processing with Paypal and other vendors is integrated into the product so there is no additional step or product required to clear purchases.
My own experience with the product started three years ago and the initial intention was to start selling ebooks online (both my own books and ebook reselling) and some sales of software applications (principally add-ons for larger applications).
Installing the product took less than a half hour to complete. Setting up my inventory of files to make available for download took a little longer. As did adding buy now hyperlinks to 4 of my sites. Within a few days DLGuard was already fully managing the checkout process, dealing with Paypal and sending customers their download links.
More recently, I have been looking into using the membership sales management on the site for providing a forum on writing plug-in software along with members free software downloads.
Originally I looked into selling ebooks through one of the large on-line distributors. My objection to this was that I not be able to create my own customer sign-up lists during the checkout process. Having to pay a sales commission also made the deal a little one sided.
From my analysis, the one constraint using the product is the 2 web domain license limit. This states that the product can only be installed on 2 servers from the one product purchase. In truth though, any sales made will pay for a license quickly enough as the product is quite competitively priced.
In conclusion, the goal of any download sales management tool is that it securely handles inventory, check-out and payment processing with little or no intervention on the owners part. DLGuard has done this admirably leaving me more time to focus on writing ebooks and sourcing other business opportunities.
