And how can you be sure, that the "special URL" is valid? If there is no
database with verified payments, *everybody* can use generated URLs to
fake valid payments.
Better you look for a provider, who handles payments and downloads for
you - since it seems you neither have experience with PHP nor with
selling stuff online.
