Was hesitant after reading some of the reviews but after putting through some sales in test mode it has worked for me so far. It didn't provide a download link at Checkout (even though I have that option checked in the settings) but an email came through very quickly with the download link which worked fine.
The other plus point is the file size limit being 5Gb which I doubt I will ever need but it's nice to know i'm not restricted like in some other apps.
Don't hope for a good experience with this app. The 1 star reviews tell you everything you need to know, and stay clear! This app will not display a download link on the order confirmation page. Only an email will be sent. So many horror stories. Look elsewhere.
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.
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.
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!
The good point is it's using Shopify domain to send emails, which has a good reputation and avoid your download emails to end in the junk.
The other good thing is the fact that your files are hosted on the Shopify server and you have a use limitation per download (5gb).
On the other end, the app needs some necessary improvement : a file manager to avoid duplicates, fix the download on purchase page...
Very easy to install and implement. I did it in under 5 minutes for my eBook. Did a test purchase and the email was automatically sent to me with the correct download link. No complaints so far -- I guess they fixed the update bug by now. Thank you 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?
Terrible doesn't allow me to upload the files successfully i keep getting message saying try again later.
Shopify community doesn't even bother to help either. I'm paying $20 per month for nothing.
This app is complete balls, customers cant even login to view their product so if the initial email is lost the product is lost. complete shite just use sky pilot if ur strapped for cash.
