Tip for those of us hosting files on S3 - use Bunny instead
-
would you recomend this for someone starting out wanting to sell sample libraries,
or the pulse downloader? -
@d-healey Seem nice, thanks David. I'll give it a try.

@d-healey Yeah using Bunny too, it's nice and easy for people like me with pretty much no experience in web development.
Though I'd like to know how to rename files/folders. Currently each time I want to just rename a file I have to delete it first and upload a renamed version of it... Unless I don't see the obvious?Also my advice is don't use IP token for protecting the links. Again it might just be my lacking skills, but it's been a nightmare for me to debug... https://forum.hise.audio/topic/9761/problem-downloading-tiny-files/6?_=1721658994552

If you want to host your own files, manage payments (and taxes), and have your own online shop then I recommend WooCommerce + the Bunny plugin. However if you're not so technically inclined or don't want to deal with taxes and the other admin tasks that come with running your own web shop then I recommend something like Payhip or Gumroad.
You can use Pulse alongside these options, it's not exclusive as far as I'm aware.
@ustk I seem to remember that you can't rename in S3 either, maybe it's a limitation of the object storage format. I use this option in the WooCommerce plugin to secure the links (same thing as the S3 plugin uses)

I am in the process of setting up a wordpress website with WooCommerce.
With the bunny plugin, there are no limits to download size. I know with payhip, size was limited to 5 gigs.

If I recall correctly that limit is per file, but you can have multiple files for each product.

I do secure the links, but not using the IP.
Also I am the secure URLs from Bunny's API via my Control Center app, not using the WP plugin. -

I don't see an option for that in the WP plugin so I guess it's not using it there.
-
@d-healey yeah, probably one of the cause might be the cache issue I was facing. I think IP token is for more advanced stuff, not really necessary in our case imho
