I like the app and works well. Is there any way to translate to Spanish the text that appears in the checkout? "You will also receive an email with download links for your digital purchases"

Thank you for writing your review and for providing us with feedback on your experience using Digital Downloads. I'm glad to hear that you like the app and that it is working well for you as you sell digital products online.

At this time it is not possible to translate the phrasing within the app to languages other than English, although I can of course see why this would be beneficial to your business if you're selling products to customers in Spanish-speaking countries. I will be sure to pass your suggestions onto our development team for them to review.

Thanks again for reaching out and I hope the app continues to be of use to you and your business moving forward. -Victor, Shopify Support

Watched the youtube video and did exactly the same way, but I cant see any upload file button on the app after adding product

Doesn't work. Studied all the tutorials, watched all the videos and nothing helped. It was just an endless repeat of the 'go to product page, turn off channels and save then click add file' page no matter what I did. Total waste of time.

I can't figure out where to add my digital file, it says to go to it and add the link, but it keep cycling me through a loop...

Just doesn't work. No download links are sent with the emails. Rubbish and a total waste of time. That's why it's free in the first place.

I am not able to use pdf files as a digital download with this app. Is there an application that lets us put pdf docs on our site for downloading?

Hey, there. Thank you for reaching out. You can upload PDF files using Digital Downloads, and we've also got a guide to assist you with that here: https://bit.ly/3sWqhT1. If you're looking to upload multiple files, you can also compress them into a single ZIP file before uploading.

It just simply won't work. It goes in circles over and over again but you can't upload a file or anything at all.

I'm sorry to hear that you've had this issue with the Digital Downloads app and we appreciate you sharing your feedback with us here. I would recommend first trying to access the app via another browser or device to see if the issue is still present there, and if it is, then uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that resolves the problem.

If you're still having issues, please contact our support team so we can authenticate you on the store and take a closer look at this for you: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. -Victor, Shopify Support

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!! I literally just downloaded it for 2 seconds and it began breaking ALL the images on my site. After removing it, a few came back but now, even when I deleted the broken images, and upload new ones, it breaks those too.

I had so much planned for today and this app just added several hours of work for me. Worst download ever. Save yourself the trouble, it's going to cost you time and money. No wonder it's free.

Does not support license codes. Totally useless. Only alternative is the less than optimal and paid app of sendowl

Installed and tested with a free download on my site. Works great! Will be interesting to see if the app costs anything when it's out of beta as it looks like files are stored on the app's site. Like that product updates are automatically emailed too.
