After you upload the file, set how long buyers can download the product after purchase (1) and how many times they are allowed to do so (2).
Note: A minimum of three downloads per purchase must be allowed. Additionally, you can specify the number of downloads as you wish.
Important to Know
Only one file per product: If you want to offer multiple files, compress them into a ZIP file. Here’s how to create a ZIP file.
Maximum file size of 10 GB: Please ensure that your file does not exceed this limit.
Access on order: Customers receive the download link by e-mail and direct access to the file as soon as the payment status is “paid” or “trial”.
If the payment status is “pending” or “failed”, no access is granted and no e-mail with the download link is sent.
Note: If payment is pending, the download link will be sent automatically as soon as the payment has been successfully completed.
Download restrictions: Once the maximum number of downloads is reached, access to the file will automatically terminate.
