What it does
When you sell digital files, a download link that works forever can be passed around long after the original sale. This addon extends the Sell Media plugin so purchased download links expire after a set period. Buyers still get their files right after payment, but the link has a limited life, which makes it harder for one purchase to turn into many unpaid copies.
Setup happens in the WordPress dashboard under the Sell Media settings, where you pick how long download links stay valid. The addon works alongside the encrypted download links Sell Media already sends to paying customers, adding a time limit on top of that. It fits photographers, artists and other creators who sell photos, galleries, prints and similar media through Sell Media with PayPal or Stripe.
Best for
- Photographers selling digital photos through Sell Media
- Artists and illustrators offering downloadable artwork
- Digital media stores that want to limit link sharing
Features
Expiring download links
Set a time limit on purchased download links so they stop granting access to files once the expiry period you chose has passed.
Custom validity period
Choose how long download links remain active, letting you match the window to how your customers usually retrieve their purchases.
Settings inside Sell Media
Configure the expiry options from the WordPress dashboard within the existing Sell Media settings, with no separate tool to manage.
Works with encrypted links
Pairs expiration with the encrypted download links Sell Media sends only to paying customers, giving paid files two layers of protection.
Extension for Sell Media
Builds on the Sell Media plugin you already run, adding link expiration to your current store setup rather than replacing it.
PayPal and Stripe compatible
Works with the PayPal and Stripe payment integrations available through Sell Media, so expiring links are delivered after checkout.
Suited to visual media
Supports stores selling photos, galleries, prints and other creative work while keeping tighter control over how files are distributed.
Questions about Sell Media Expire Download Addon
Does this work without the Sell Media plugin?
No. It is an extension for the Sell Media plugin by Graph Paper Press and needs Sell Media running on your site. It adds expiration settings to the download links that Sell Media already creates for buyers.
Can I choose how long download links stay active?
Yes. You set the validity period yourself in the WordPress dashboard under the Sell Media settings. After that period passes, the purchased download link no longer gives access to the file.
Will buyers still receive their files right after paying?
Yes. Customers receive their download links after payment as usual, through Sell Media's PayPal or Stripe integrations. The difference is that each link works only for the time window you configured.
How does this help protect my paid files?
Sell Media sends encrypted download links only to paying customers, and this addon adds a time limit to those links. A shared link stops working after expiry, which makes redistributing your files harder.
