What it does
Stores that sell digital products often depend on buyers to spread the word, but most customers have no reason to post about a purchase. This add-on gives them one. When a visitor shares a product on a social network such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, they receive a discount on that order. It works inside your existing Easy Digital Downloads setup, so you can offer the reward without creating and handing out codes by hand.
You set the discount amount and the conditions for earning it, choosing between a percentage or a fixed amount off. After a customer shares, the discount is applied at checkout with no extra steps on their side. Reporting lets you track how social discounts relate to sales and traffic, which helps you adjust your promotions over time. It suits store owners who want a word-of-mouth incentive running alongside their regular discounts.
Best for
- Easy Digital Downloads stores selling ebooks, software or other digital goods
- Creators who want customers to share products on social media
- Store owners adding a share-based incentive to their discounts
