Sell a digital download

1. Open the product from Products, or add one.
2. Next to What it is, choose Something physical, then A download. The button shows what the product is now.
3. Under Files, choose Add files. You can choose several at once. On a phone, tap Its file under On its page first.
4. If it has no price yet, choose Add a price, enter it and choose Set price.
5. Choose Put on sale.

A download can only be put on sale once a file is uploaded.

What happens next

Buyers download its files as soon as they’ve paid, from the link in their receipt. The link works for a week; after that they get fresh ones from your shop, as Find your downloads explains.

A download has no variants or stock, and never pays shipping.

Change its files

Until someone buys it, add, rename, remove and reorder its files under Files. After that, changes are an update that buyers get too: see Update a download’s files.

Change it back to something physical

You can change a product between something physical and a download until it’s been in a checkout or an order. Next to What it is, choose A download, then Something physical.

Making a physical product a download removes its variants and stock count.
