We have a client who would like to sell e-books in their shopping cart ( www.skillbuildersbooks.com ), along with traditional books that will be delivered through the mail. Hikashop comes with an option to include a file with a product, which I am assuming allows the buyer to download that file when they have completed their order. The trouble is, our client would like to use a service they already have an account with, called Secure E-Book ( www.secure-ebook.com/ ). That company does not provide a tie-in for external shopping carts, but they apparently have an SDK that allows developers to run keys and retrieve the secured files from their servers ( www.secure-ebook.com/help/sdk ). I have no idea how to go about doing this. Can anyone point me in the right direction, give some tips, or even help me figure out how to do this?

I think you can use HikaSerial with a special generator plugin.
HikaSerial is a Joomla extension which work with HikaShop and which add "serial" features.
www.hikashop.com/en/hikashop/hikaserial.html

HikaSerial have a generator plugin system. When an order is validated, the generator will create and assign a serial to the order (and so, to the customer).
You can test HikaSerial in our demo website.

Secure book gives several information : an activation code, and expiration date and a download url for the ebook (with the number of time that it is possible to download the ebook).
