Digital Downloads

Basically stopped functioning properly ( No link on checkout page and random emails to customers with download links if they are lucky). Support said they are not continuing to support the app - would be nice to have been told before you upload thousands of digital files. They suggested using a few other 3rd party apps on their store - all of which are more to subscribe too than my actually shopify plan. Appalling and I will be looking at a new platform such as Payhip which looks after its customers way better. They need to do the right thing and fix the very basis problem such as giving customers a doenload link - not rocket science.

I LOVED this app until it stopped working in Dec 2024. I can not upload my digitals to my products. It was sooo easy to use. Much easier than the other digital download products available. I wish you all would fix the app. Would make my day and business so much easier.

First time I used it, I muddled my way through, 2nd time was difficult, third time, even harder, I can't get the order to go over to the digital download side, so have manually sent a link to download it Have asked for support, but find support quite slow, they seem to spend more time writing niceities, than just helping. I wouldn't recommend, hopefully there is a better option out there, as this is frustrating. I have an urgent order and I can't get it to work. Was then told that the app developers are working on "crucial bugs" and to try sky pilot or another paid app instead, if shopify no longer care about keeping their apps working. remove them so their customers don't use them and then look like idiots to their customers when it doesn't work.

this app was working fine then randomly stopped working. I can't get in touch with anyone and support tells me "it's been escalated" but it's been 5 days so far and still nothing. All of this is currently happening on black Friday weekend and NONE of my orders are fulfilled. I need to reach out to each customer individually to manually send them what they purchased. I can see that the app "requires an update by app developer" but support was not able to find that (I found it myself) and as of day 5 this is STILL not fixed.

I don't know what the Devs did but this app is currently useless. Not only do new customers not get an email or a download link, but OLD customers lost access to their previous download links on their Order Status Page. This app literally does nothing now.

I've used this app for years with no problems. With the last Shopify settings update this app no longer works at all. I also had it installed on some of my client's websites I designed because it never gave me trouble before and it was free. DO NOT DOWNLOAD because Shopify support told me they would not be fixing the app. Now I have to download a new one and reupload over 1,000 digital downloads.

We used this app to sell Ebooks and Ebook bundles in our store. We were able to uses this app last year with no issues. Recently, we tried to do the same but did not have success.
The save button would spin and spin without any chance of being able to save. It really messed with our plans to sell these products before a specific date.

If you sell digital downloads and think about moving to Shopify for this feature: don't, unless you have done your research. Soon after I switched to Shopify with all my customers, they stopped the support for the digital downloads app. I had many chats with the customer service, with different feedback. Some said I should look around for an additional app, others said, they appreciate the feedback and will forward it to the developer team, yet others again said they won't spend any more time on developing this feature.
This is 2024, guys. You cannot just sit there and see the money rolling in raising your prices and do nothing, when it is literally a digital world now. Very unimpressed with this part of shopify!

This app was coded in the middle ages and haven't been updated since! Here are 2 critical issues:

- It is not compatible with the new customer account, there is no way for your client to download the files they purchased from the Order page.

- You cannot HTML markup the email templates for Download Ready and for Updated Product, all you're left with is some crude text that looks like a badly formatted spam email

Digital Downloads app devs, are you still alive?

It's simply an insult to Shopify customers that in 2024 there is no native, properly functioning digital download app. Links do not appear after purchase and there is no link to download again in the client panel. looking for another solution.
