    Hi,
    I want to build a site with free downloadable pdf files (as products).
    Users should be able to select products and add them to a cart.
    At the end, when checkout is done, i want to generate a single big pdf of all products and mail the user only when the file generation is done.
    Is woocommerce suitable for that and if so, how ?
    The pdf generation is not a problem but takes too long and cannot be done on the fly.

    Any other suggestion is appreciated, specially for dealing with the cart management, which is the main reason why i was thinking of woocommerce for that.
    Thanks

    Something like this? https://www.woothemes.com/products/woocommerce-bulk-download/

    I don’t think its in the mail though.

    Kinda like this i’d say.
    I’d like to be able to hook into woocommerce so users would have some kind of page (like the bulk download one) saying “your download link will be ready in a few minutes”.
    When the zip (i generate) is ready, the page shows the link and a mail is sent to alert the user.
    Kinda tricky :S

    The plugin I linked to shows the ZIP on account and thanks page – thats right after placing the order.

    Thanks Mike
    I’m fine with it (i’ll manage the mail thing myself elsewhere), but is it possible to change the link display and address (using hooks i suppose) ?
    Maybe i was not very clear at first, but i want to build a custom big pdf from chosen products, zip it and make that zip downloadable only after that. So the zip link has to be hidden first on the pages your talking about, then replaced by my “custom” zip afterwards.

    Not sure how you’d hide the other links – probably yes with hooks or CSS if that was not desirable.
