What it does
Selling digital goods with Easy Digital Downloads means you need a payment gateway your buyers recognize and trust. This plugin brings PayPal into your existing store setup so customers can pay with a PayPal balance, credit cards, debit cards or other payment options through one gateway. Transactions run through PayPal's security standards, including PCI compliance, which keeps card data handling on PayPal's side rather than your own server.
Once it is in place, the plugin covers more than the checkout itself. You can issue full or partial refunds with a click, run subscription billing for recurring products and accept payments in multiple currencies with automatic conversion. Transaction reports help you follow your sales and financial data, and you can choose which funding sources are enabled. Developers get hooks for customizing and extending how the gateway behaves. It suits sellers of ebooks, software, memberships and other digital products.
Best for
- Easy Digital Downloads stores selling ebooks or software
- Membership and subscription sites billing recurring payments
