What’s new in EDD - Simple Shipping 2.5.3
Version 2.5.3 · Mar 19, 2026
Latest
- FixedCheckout: An existing shipping address was not always properly attached to an order.
- ImprovedEmails: Added support for conditional email tags.
What it does
Easy Digital Downloads is built around digital files, but many sellers also offer physical items such as merchandise, printed versions or bundles that pair a download with something in a box. Without a shipping tool, there is no clean way to charge for delivery on those orders. This extension fills that gap by adding shipping calculations to your existing store, and it only applies them when a product actually needs to be shipped.
Setup happens in a settings panel that needs no coding. You choose whether shipping costs are based on the total order value or on the number of items purchased, then offer several shipping options so customers can pick the one that suits their budget and delivery needs. Shipping fees appear during checkout, and shipping addresses are attached to orders. Order emails can also use conditional email tags, which helps when some orders ship and others do not.
Best for
- Easy Digital Downloads stores that also sell physical products
- Creators selling merchandise alongside digital files
- Shops offering bundles of downloads and shipped items
Features
Rates by order total
Set shipping costs that depend on the total value of the order, which suits stores where pricier orders should carry a different shipping charge.
Rates by item quantity
Charge shipping based on how many items a customer buys, a simple fit for stores selling merchandise or other countable physical goods.
Multiple shipping options
Offer more than one shipping method at checkout so customers can choose the option that matches their budget and delivery preference.
Shipping fees at checkout
Customers see the shipping cost during checkout, so the amount they pay is clear before they complete the order.
Physical and digital bundles
Works for stores that mix product types, applying shipping calculations only to orders that include something to ship.
Shipping addresses on orders
Customer shipping addresses are attached to each order, giving you the details you need to send out physical items.
Conditional email tags
Order emails support conditional email tags, so you can include shipping details only in messages where they apply.
No-code settings panel
Shipping rules are managed from a straightforward settings screen, with no coding needed to configure rates and options.
