For those of you that sell EGOODS (downloadable files), you are aware that by default when the customer pays with paypal they get an email confirmation and they get redirected to a URL that says "thanks!".
From there I see that I have to go into the ADMIN panel and "activate" the download manually for them to even see the link in the "my orders" section of the user home page, and I can send an email with the link as well.
I would like the link to appear INSTANTLY and already activated on the page they are redirected to after successfully paying for the item.
Any suggestions? Anyone already doing this??

Viart sent me some direction and I did some looking around - here is what I found:
1. Select "Orders-Payment Systems". then select the link for the "final checkout page" of the payment system you are using (I used paypal). In the text area for the "final messages - On Success Message" add this somewhere in the body:
{links}
2. Under "Order Statuses" edit "Validated" status and select "activate" under activation of downloadable products.
Do this and as soon as paypal (or other system) accepts payment and validates - as long as the customer is directed to the order_final.php page, the new link that is shown will be active and downloadable!
