A password is e-mailed to customers upon receipt of payment. This password is required to access the
downloadable products. The password will expire after the number of days that is set in the Allow
Download For box. Setting the allowed download days to 0 disables that restriction.
Allow (quantity) Downloads Per Product
Each password will work to download a product file this many times within the number of days that Allow
Download For is set to. Set it to 0 and any number of downloads are allowed.
Browser Save Dialogue
When downloadable products are ordered, customers are provided with a download link. Depending on
the customers' browser settings and applications that are installed on the customers' computers, some
file types will automatically open with the default application that is installed on each customer's
computer. For example, a pdf file may automatically open in Adobe PDF Reader and an mp3 file may
automatically open in Windows Media Player. When this setting is Off, the browser behavior is
dependent on each customer's computer configuration. When this setting is On, the Browser Save
Dialogue box is forced to open regardless of the customers' computer and browser configuration.

used in the order of the original the text file, from top to bottom.
Shopping Mall Parameters
Default Commission Level
Each member earns commissions when his/her products are sold. The commission is a percentage of
the retail sales price for each member product that is sold. The commission percentage is set
individually for each member. When a new member is activated, that member's commission rate is
initially set to this value. The commission rate for each member may be changed by the mall
administrator (username: ashopadmin) through the Manage Members menu.
