What it does
If you sell software, eBooks or other digital files, you probably revise them over time. Telling past buyers about each new file by hand takes time, and some customers never hear about it at all. This plugin handles that step for you. When you update a downloadable product in WooCommerce, it emails the people who purchased it so they can get the latest file from their account. It works inside WooCommerce and does not need third-party services to send its notices.
You stay in control of what goes out. You can choose which product updates should trigger an email, so minor edits do not flood inboxes. The email subject, content and design can be adjusted to match your brand. The plugin also respects download limits you have set in WooCommerce, keeps a log of sent notifications and update history, and works with popular translation plugins for stores that serve customers in more than one language.
Best for
- WooCommerce shops selling software, plugins or themes
- Authors and publishers selling eBooks or digital documents
- Stores offering downloadable assets that get revised over time

Questions about WCDPUE
Will every customer get an email each time I edit a product?
No. You choose which product updates trigger notifications. That lets you send emails only for meaningful file updates and only to relevant customers, instead of emailing buyers for every small change you make to a listing.
Can I change how the update email looks and reads?
Yes. The email templates are customizable, including the subject line, the message content and the design. You can write the notice in your own brand voice and style it to fit the rest of your store's emails.
What happens with customers who have reached their download limit?
The plugin recognizes download restrictions set in WooCommerce and respects them when sending notifications. This keeps your update emails consistent with the download limits and sales policies you have already configured for your products.
Can I send the notifications in other languages?
Yes. The plugin is compatible with popular translation plugins, so you can send update notifications in your customers' preferred languages if your WooCommerce store is set up for multilingual selling.
Is WCDPUE free?
The code of WCDPUE is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
