I don't know what an ice breaker is. My head feels full of rocks right now

Logan75501-

HA! That would definitely break some ice. 🙂

To answer your question, your client wouldn't need a 'paid' business account.  A normal business account would work just fine; as long as you have the ability to use PayPal buttons.

What you're looking for would be Auto Return.  This will allow you to direct a customer to a specific page after they complete their payment. You can find some specifics here (as well as some other nifty tools for your button-making needs).

Basically, when you create the button within PayPal, in Step 3 of the button process, you'll have two check-boxes.  Selecting these, you can choose a URL to direct the customer to if they cancel their checkout, or once it's completed.  That would be the one you want.  Put the URL for the download page in there, complete the rest of the button (obviously :)), and you should be good to go!
