Subject: Re: Downloading a digital product as an anonymous purchaser
Hi Simon:
I don't think it can be done. I've spent several hours deciphering how
digital goods work and, although I could be wrong, I don't think there
is a way using the default setup that a user can access a purchased
digital good without a login/password. That would be because those
products are, by default, made available on a password protected web
page and anonymous users, by default have no login/password.
Actually, the user would need more than a login/password. They need at
an "account" which consists of, at a minimum some PARTY and PARTYROLE
information.
Be interested in hearing if anyone else has had a different experience.
Regards,
Ruth

Perhaps, but currently a digital product is available for purchase to an
anonymous user who is then unable to retrieve their purchase.
I suppose the options are.
1. Enforce registration for product downloads at purchase time.
2. Code a custom solution that makes the download available to anonymous users
