Are you looking to add downloadable products to your WooCommerce store? If so, you’re in the right place!
In this article, we’ll show you how to set up downloadable products in WooCommerce.
WooCommerce is a powerful eCommerce platform that enables you to sell anything online. While it’s primarily used for physical products, WooCommerce also supports the sale of digital products. This means that you can use WooCommerce to sell items like eBooks, music files, software, and more.
If you want to sell downloadable products with WooCommerce, the first thing you need to do is install the WooCommerce Downloadable Products extension. This extension will add the necessary functionality to your WooCommerce store to sell downloadable products.
Once the extension is installed and activated, you’ll need to set up your downloadable products. You can do this by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Downloads. On this page, you’ll be able to configure the settings for your downloadable products.
Some of the things you can configure include:
- File Download Method: This setting allows you to choose how your files will be delivered to your customers. You can choose to have them delivered via Amazon S3 or a direct link. We recommend using Amazon S3 for increased security.
- Maximum number of downloads: This setting allows you to limit the number of times a customer can download a product. For example, if you set this to 3, a customer will only be able to download a product 3 times.
- Download Expiry: This setting allows you to set how long customers have access to a product before the link expires.For example, if you set this to 7 days, customers will only have access to the product for 7 days after purchase.
- Download Type: This setting allows you select what type of file your customers will be downloading. For example, if you’re selling an eBook, you would select “PDF. “
