What it does
Selling custom or personalized digital products usually means collecting something from the buyer: a logo, a photo, a document to edit. Without a way to gather those files at checkout, store owners end up chasing customers by email and matching attachments to orders by hand. This plugin moves that step into checkout itself, so the files arrive together with the order and no back and forth is needed.
The plugin adds upload fields to your existing Easy Digital Downloads checkout without any coding. You can set the field labels and instructions, choose which file types and sizes are accepted, and let customers attach more than one file. Uploaded files are tied to the matching payment, shown on the receipt and in the admin, and you get notified when new uploads come in. It suits designers, photographers and other vendors who need material from buyers to fulfill orders.
Best for
- Easy Digital Downloads stores selling personalized digital products
- Designers and photographers collecting client files with orders
- Vendors who need documents from buyers to complete work
Features
File uploads at checkout
Customers attach the files you need directly during checkout, so the materials for a custom order arrive together with the purchase itself.
Multiple files per purchase
Buyers can upload more than one file with a single order, which helps with custom jobs that need several assets or reference documents.
Custom labels and instructions
Edit the upload field labels and instructions to match each product, so customers know exactly which files to send and in what form.
File type and size limits
Decide which file formats are accepted and set size limits, keeping submissions usable and avoiding oversized uploads on your server.
Files linked to orders
Each uploaded file is automatically associated with its purchase, and it appears on the customer receipt as well as in the admin.
Admin alerts and file access
Get notified when new files are uploaded and open submitted files from the Easy Digital Downloads admin area when fulfilling orders.
Works on mobile devices
The upload fields are responsive, so customers can submit files from phones and tablets as easily as from a desktop computer.
Payment gateway compatibility
Uploads work alongside the payment gateways that Easy Digital Downloads supports, and files stay attached even if the buyer switches gateway.
