Hi, awesome video. Thank you! How come when I try to purchase my ebook I don't get an email with the download - I want the customers to also get an email with the downlink link. Thank you
Hi, Tali. Thanks for the kind words. If you've set up your ebook as a virtual and downloadable product correctly in WooCommerce, then you're correct that customers who purchase it should receive an email with the download link. Not getting such an email could mean you need to review how you've set up email sending on your website. I suggest you reach out to either official WooCommerce support or your website's web hosting provider, who can assist you with this best. I hope this helps point you in the right direction. Let me know if you have any more questions. You can also get in touch about our plugins for WordPress and WooCommerce via our dedicated Support Center at barn2.com/support-center/ . Best regards, -Edge
Hi, @WeShootFilms. Thanks for asking. Our WooCommerce Product Table plugin and the WooCommerce plugin itself do not put any limits/restrictions on the file size of virtual downloadable products. However, the PHP settings/limits/restrictions that your web hosting provider sets/limits your website to will surely restrict or time out even uploading files of that size. The maximum allowed file storage space and allowed monthly bandwidth of your web hosting package would also surely be exceeded by a single 11GB file alone. I suggest you reach out to your web host about storing such a file as a downloadable product on your website. Alternatively, you could store the file off-site on a cloud sharing/storage service such as Amazon S3 and provide the download link in the WooCommerce product's purchase note that is sent to the customer after purchase. You would need to contact the service about restricting access to the file to only customers who purchased it. I hope this makes sense and helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Best regards, -Edge
Something that's driving me crazy: There's no easy way to stamp the PDF with the customer's name on purchase. The current solutions don't preserve the PDF links, which is annoying. Does anyone know a way around this?
Hi Mike. Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure whether this is the perfect solution for what you've described but you might want to look into this WordPress PDF Stamper plugin - www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wordpress-pdf-stamper-plugin/. Cheers! - Keza
Thanks @Barn2Plugins for video. Unfortunately, i'm unable to add digital or virtual products. I'm seeing entirely different screen when adding new product. are you using woocommerce paid version?
Hi, Swetha. Thanks for your comment. I understand you're having difficulty with adding/creating virtual downloadable products on your website for some reason. The WooCommerce plugin is free at wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/ and I'm unsure what paid version you're referring to. Did you purchase a specific add-on plugin? In any case, I suggest you reach out to official WooCommerce support, who can assist you with this best at woocommerce.com/document/how-to-get-help/ .

I keep searching madly to find out how to add downloadable products with preset AUDIO of 4-5 units each. everyone says 'download' but doesn't say how to download FOLDERS..... not files. Single unit files are easy.
Hi there! You should first compressed the individual files into a .zip folder before uploading it as a downloadable product in your WooCommerce store. Once a customer purchase the product, they will have access to the .zip folder where multiple files are stored. Cheers! - Keza
Hi, Sandra. Thanks for your comment. The WooCommerce plugin itself will restrict access to your virtual downloadable digital product.

Thanks for this ! Another question- so for digital product sales on woo, is there a way to test this and do a dry run before it’s live to make sure all the links are working? I tried to do a sample purchase myself and the download link, while correct and works when I copy and paste it, is coming up as just a page full of what looks to be code after the purchase is made and download is clicked. Not sure why.
Hi, @workspacetherapist. Thanks for your comment. I'm glad to hear our tutorial is helpful.

I too am struggling with zip files, adding them to products. My WP came up with a different simple format like others have said, but I noticed a link at the bottom to go back to the traditional version ( I couldn't upload zips at all in this new version). Now in the traditional version I can add a zip file, It goes into the media section which seems odd but ok, whats even stranger is that it adds the word -crewda.zip after the file name. Have you tried adding a zip file ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, @elephantsanddaisysembroide6656. I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with adding zip files as virtual and downloadable products on your website for some reason. Thanks for letting us know so we can help. We’re not aware of any issues with adding/creating such a product, and I have done some testing to make sure it’s working correctly on a test site. I haven’t managed to replicate the issue, so we need to work out what’s causing it on your site. I suggest you reach out to official WooCommerce support at woo.com/contact-us/ who can assist you with this best. I hope this helps point you in the right direction.

@@Barn2Plugins And if I'm just offering several digital downloads as a bundle it still is not possible to do this with just woocommerce? I didn't think I needed the bundle plug-in for just putting several digital downloads in one product for sale?

@@mosesken4585 Thanks for the supplemental info.

Hi @sammy316 No, you don't need a PayPal Business account to accept payments with Easy Digital Downloads (EDD).
