Typically how long does it take to process an order? I was hoping to recieve my link right away. Apparently it's not automatic after payment? Someone needs to physically email me?

I enjoyed the demo and I have a long trip in a few hours, I was hoping to have this installed and ready before I leave. Otherwise I might not have bought it tonight.

Payments by Paypal are processed almost immidiately after the confirmation.
Payments to the bank account take about 2 business days.
We do control manually the amounts and the recipients.

My link was through within an hour after paying by Paypal

Yes, this can happen...
