Hi, i want to know if it's possible to create a ecommerce in CI selling digital goods.
I have created a ecomm but the problem is that i can only seel one product, i want some directions (tutorials, examples) to create a shopping cart were the user can buy multiple product at the same time (digital goods).
Regards,
Alexa

I haven't gone through it myself, but I did just notice this NetTuts tutorial the other day on CI and selling digital goods.

yeah i've notice that but as my ecomm it's not using multiple items, what i mean is that you can't buy more than 1 product, plus is for premium members...

Are you using the Cart class?
It makes building a cart in CI pretty straightforward. Just be sure you're using a unique id for each item added to the cart.

For the payment processing part, there are a couple of PayPal libs around, here's one.

If this isn't helpful, how about posting some of your code?

after the paypal send a success message i'll email the file to his email account but...if they are more then one it's only send 1 file, the first in the cart.i'll share my code right away.

Need to see your code before we can help.
Specially the success file/page.

Code:
function checkout(){

    $this->load->model('transaction_model');

    $this->load->model('common_model');

    $x = $this->cart->format_number($this->cart->total());

            $condition_balance          = array('user_balance.user_id'=>$this->loggedInUser->id);

                $results                   = $this->transaction_model->getBalance($condition_balance);

                if($results->num_rows()>0)

                {

                    //get balance detail

                    $rowBalance = $results->row();

                    $this->outputData['userAvailableBalance'] = $rowBalance->amount;

                }

                if($rowBalance->amount < $x)

                {

                $this->session->set_flashdata('flash_message', $this->common_model->flash_message('error', 'your not having sufficient balance to by that product please use deposit money'));

                                redirect('deposit');

                }

                else {

                $updateKey               = array('user_balance.user_id'=>$this->loggedInUser->id);

                $file =  $this->cart_model->retrieve_products();

                $total = $this->cart->total_items();

                $dec = $this->cart_model->cart_content();

                $price_e = $data['products'];

                $body  = 'A product has been purchased, please check it!';

                $body .= $this->input->post('productName') . ' on '.date('m/d/Y') . ' at ' . date('g:i A') . "\n\n";

                 '));

                                redirect('deposit');

                }
