I'm currently building my own website and everything is going well, but I'm stuck on one part. I want to sell digital products and have integrated PayPal payment buttons, which work fine. However, I'm trying to figure out how to automatically send my digital products—specifically, I want customers to receive a PDF file via email once they complete their purchase. I'm not sure how to set this up. Any guidance would be appreciated!

You need to create additional code that listens for responses from PayPal. When the purchase process is complete, either through a direct response from PayPal or a webhook callback, your code should trigger an email sending function. You could use services like SendGrid to manage the email delivery, ensuring that you also track the delivery status.
To automate sending digital products after payment, you'll need to use PayPal's Instant Payment Notification (IPN) or Webhooks. This way, when a payment is completed, PayPal sends a notification to your server. You'll write some code to handle that notification, check that the payment was successful, and then send an email with the PDF attached. It's crucial to set up your email delivery system to handle this effectively.
