How do I sell digital downloads directly from my website?

Asked on Sep 06, 2025

Answer

Selling digital downloads directly from your website involves setting up a system to manage product listings, payments, and delivery. This can be achieved using e-commerce platforms or plugins that facilitate digital product sales.
  1. Choose an e-commerce platform or plugin that supports digital downloads (e.g., WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads).
  2. Install and configure the plugin on your website, ensuring it integrates with your payment gateway (e.g., PayPal, Stripe).
  3. Create product listings for your digital downloads, including descriptions, pricing, and file uploads.
  4. Set up automated delivery of digital files upon successful payment confirmation.
Additional Comment:
  • Ensure your website is secure (HTTPS) to protect customer data during transactions.
  • Consider offering multiple payment options to increase conversion rates.
  • Clearly outline your refund policy for digital products to manage customer expectations.
  • Use analytics to track sales performance and optimize your product offerings.
