PayPal for Digital Goods

Please use the new WP Express Checkout plugin which has been created to handle the PayPal API for both digital and normal products.

This plugin provides you a shortcode to generate a customizable PayPal payment button that allows a user to pay for an item instantly in a popup using the PayPal’s Express Checkout API/Gateway.

The full checkout takes place in an overlay/popup window and the customer never leaves your site.

This is ideal for selling file downloads via PayPal.
