link(s) for all the products ordered. By default Linklok uses a simple built in page but you can define
a custom template to be used which can then seamlessly match your site. You can disable the
download page if you prefer only to email links.

Download links expire after a fixed time or can be set to never expire
Download links generated by Linklok can have an expiry time set which can be from minutes up to
several years. They can also be set to never expire in which case they simply hide the location of
the file on your server.

Links can be locked to buyers IP address (needs button change)
As well as the expiry time set in download links Linklok can also IP lock them to the buyer. This
does require some small changes to your buy buttons though. In most cases time expiry is
sufficient anyway.

Nobody ever knows the actual server location of the download file - not even the purchaser!
The download links do not contain the location of the file on your server so there is no risk of the
link being decoded etc. This ensures that nobody can ever bypass Linklok and link directly to
your product files.
