You should first look how you get the payment thing to work, how you find 
out
when a customer has payd. You can either give her/him an account, which is
easy with the API from Userfolder (see Zopebook). For this your
payment method must have proxy rules as manager and then make the new 
account and show/mail the
accounts data to the user.
You define a role being able to "view" the file(s) and assign all these new 
users to that
role. Thats pretty easy using the API.
The new suer might be able to choose her/his own username or you might want 
to create
username/password from random and time.
