资源说明：Sell digital goods with your Stripe account. Powered by Ruby on Rails.
= Thylacine Sell a file with your Stripe account and Ruby on Rails. == What is it? Thylacine is a Rails 3.1 app that lets you sell a digital using your Stripe (www.stripe.com) account. It's designed for people who want to sell things like ebooks or code but not mess around with setting up a store or pay high transaction fees. == What Can I Sell? Um, anything you want–so long as it's 1 file. For example, you could sell: * A PDF ebook * An ebook in multiple formats, inside a .zip file * An instructional video * A collection of stock photography, inside a .zip file * Code you want to sell, inside a .zip file Remember, 1 file. Thylacine is not a shopping cart. It doesn't calculate sales tax, shipping, or require registration. A person goes to the site, they give you money, they get a file. == Demo View a demo deployed to Heroku at: http://thylacine.herokuapp.com == What's a Thylacine? While it sounds like a new prescription anti-depressant, a Thylacine is actually an extinct carnivorous marsupial once native to Australia. The Thylacine was also known as the "Tasmanian tiger" because it had stripes on its back. Since this app uses Stripe for payment processing, I figured I'd name it after some sort of striped animal. Zebra and Tiger seemed boring. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thylacine http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Thylacinus.jpg == Setup and Configuration 1. Clone the app 2. Bundle install to get your gems in order 3. Create and migrate your database 4. Edit config/initializers/stripe.rb and add your Stripe api key and publishable key 5. Place your file (the one you're selling) in app/products/ 6. Edit config/product.yml and add the details about your product (including the file name from the previous step) At this point, the app is usable and you can sell your file. However, you'll want to edit the index view with all the great marketing copy about your product. The (HAML) file you want to edit is app/views/product/index.html.haml. == Fulfillment After a successful purchase, the customer is directed to a "Thank you" page. There they are presented with a download button which streams the file when clicked. Both the thanks and download actions require a authentication token in order to work (this is a unique token generated for each order record). == TO-DO List Planned features below. If you have feature requests or bugs, submit an issue or pull request. * Send email receipt to customer * Add file deliver via email option * Monitor (and possibly limit) the number of downloads per customer * Add an admin view into all orders * Add an expiration date for downloads == A Note About SSL Customer credit card data is sent securely to Stripe and never touches the Thylacine app server or database. Therefore, SSL is technically unnecessary (I think). However, I'm of the opinion that running Thylacine over SSL is still preferred in order to maintain a level of comfort with end-users. == Special Thanks Other free and open source projects were used to build this. Ruby on Rails, Twitter Bootstrap, Startup Ipsum (site), and others all deserve props.
