Verify-to-Download Pro is a secure email-verification gate for digital downloads. Visitors enter their email, confirm via a double-opt-in link, and receive a single-use, expiring download button for the exact file you choose. The script ships with disposable-email blocking, per-file routing, and one-time tokens to stop link sharing. It runs on standard cPanel hosting with PHPMailer SMTP and triggers an n8n webhook after verification so you can tag contacts, start automations, or log conversions—instantly.

Key features

• Double-opt-in verification (SPF/DKIM-friendly emails)

• One-time download tokens with TTL (prevents re-use/link sharing)

• Block temp emails with blacklist.txt (domains, wildcards, exact)

• Per-file funnels: ?file=slug routes each campaign to its asset

• Upload manager: push a file to /files/ and get a ready signup link

• n8n webhook on verify (JSON payload for automations)

• Clean, responsive landing + verify pages with favicons + icon set

• Clear PHP code (PDO, PHPMailer); cPanel-ready, no extra SaaS fees

What’s included

• Full PHP source: index.php, register.php, verify.php, download.php, upload.php, config.php

• MySQL schema (users with tokens + requested file)

• blacklist.txt starter (100 disposable domains)

• Documentation PDF

• App icon + favicon set (PNG + manifest)

How it works (3 steps)

1. Visitor submits email → register.php sends verify link

2. Click verify → user marked verified, one-time token issued

3. “Download now” → download.php validates & consumes token

Requirements

• PHP 8+ and MySQL (typical cPanel/LAMP)

• SMTP mailbox (PHPMailer)

• Composer for dependencies

Perfect for

Course creators, SaaS trials, agencies, template/asset stores—anyone who wants real leads and protected downloads.
