What it does
The default Easy Digital Downloads checkout collects a fixed set of details. If you sell ebooks, software or other digital products and need extra information from buyers, that can feel limiting. This plugin lets you design the checkout in Gravity Forms instead, using its drag and drop builder, custom fields, conditional logic and field validation to ask exactly the questions your store needs.
Payments are handled by the gateways you already use with Easy Digital Downloads, and purchase and customer details are stored inside WordPress for order tracking. Form submissions can trigger email notifications and confirmations for buyers. The plugin is meant to work alongside other Easy Digital Downloads add-ons such as discounts, subscriptions and software licensing, so it fits into an existing store setup.
Best for
- Easy Digital Downloads stores needing custom checkout fields
- Sellers of ebooks, software or other digital products
- Developers already building forms with Gravity Forms
