Highly recommend SkyPilot - from a digital shop owner with over 28,000 digital file orders. :) Customer support is always quick and very thorough. Kenan especially was amazing, answering questions and offering support for solutions I hadn't even thought of relating to my original question. I was incredibly impressed with customer service today, and I've always had a great experience when I've needed to reach out.
Hi there,
Wow—28,000 orders! Congratulations on such incredible success with your store. We are honored to be the engine behind so many digital deliveries!
It’s wonderful to hear that Kenan was able to provide that extra level of "proactive" support by offering solutions you hadn't even thought of yet. That’s exactly the kind of expert service we strive for. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to him; he’ll be thrilled to know he made such a great impression.
Thank you for being such a long-term partner and for the high recommendation. We’re looking forward to supporting your next 28,000 orders!

My business has been a long time partner with SkyPilot for many years. I recently had an incident in file transfers where Shopify changed a handle, causing large amount of file disconnects. After reaching out to SkyPilot, they stepped right in to help me reset many download filing links so that my customers could continue having access to what they had digitally purchased. It’s taken a bit of work but now everything is all straightened out. Thank you SkyPilot! Onward to new horizons!
Hi there,
Thank you so much for the 4-star review and for your continued partnership over the years!
We know how stressful it can be when external changes like a Shopify handle update cause a ripple effect in your file links. We are so glad our team could step in and partner with you to do the "heavy lifting" required to get those digital downloads back in the hands of your customers.
It’s been a pleasure working through this with you to get everything straightened out. We are fully committed to meeting those final requirements with you and earning that 5th star!
Onward to new horizons, indeed! We’re honored to be by your side.

I’ve used Sky Pilot for several years, and unfortunately I’ve had ongoing issues throughout that time.The biggest problem is poor bandwidth speed and server instability. Downloads regularly drop out, and customers are often disconnected partway through. The real kicker is that you’re still charged for the data used even when customers can’t access or complete the download. If a customer gets booted at 20–50%, you still pay for that bandwidth. Over time, those failed downloads add up very quickly expect $700–$1,000 USD bills if you’re running any kind of volume.I’ve raised these issues multiple times, including phone calls with management. Each time, the explanation is the same: blame is placed on their wholesale provider (Amazon servers). Occasionally I receive a small discount (usually around 10%) on a very large bill, but nothing meaningful is done to fix the underlying performance issues.Billing is another major concern. The system is confusing and feels poorly designed. I even raised concerns with Shopify, and the response around billing was vague and uncomfortable. If you’re on a custom plan and try to reduce your data usage to save money, you can be charged immediately for the new plan on top of what you’ve already paid for the month, effectively double-charging you. When questioned, support suggests changing plans only on the exact day your billing period expires which is hardly a practical solution.At this point, there are new options on Shopify offering unlimited data, better speeds, and clearer pricing. If you’re a small business trying to control costs and deliver a reliable experience to customers, it’s absolutely worth shopping around.
Hi there,
Thank you for your long-standing loyalty over the past 8 years. We sincerely value our history with you, and it’s disappointing to hear that you've been feeling this frustration.
We’ve sent a detailed personal email to you today addressing each of your concerns—specifically regarding the technical nature of CDN delivery via Amazon CloudFront and how Shopify’s Billing API handles mid-cycle plan changes.
While we stand behind the stability of our infrastructure, which serves thousands of high-volume merchants globally, we hear your concerns about cost and flexibility. To that end, we have proposed a significant, exclusive discount and a new technical workaround (Link Selling) that would effectively eliminate your bandwidth overage concerns.
We are committed to turning this experience around for you and hope we can continue our partnership on this new footing. We look forward to hearing back from you via email so we can get these updates in place!
Best regards,

As a business owner selling digital sewing patterns on Shopify, I needed a delivery system that was reliable, professional, and easy for my customers to use. Sky Pilot has delivered on all of that. The setup was simple, file management is organized, and the branded download experience makes everything feel cohesive with my store.
What I appreciate most is that it just works. My customers receive their files quickly and without confusion. Whenever I’ve had questions, support has been responsive and helpful. For anyone selling digital products and wanting a smooth, polished delivery experience, I highly recommend Sky Pilot.

The product was easy to use and understand. When I wasn't sure if I had done the set up properly, I used their support which was responsive and got me where I needed to be. I used Sky Pilot for downloads of ebooks, audiobooks and word games.

This app is so awesome! It is affordable and so easy to use. It's great for my customers to be able to download their files and have them all in their accounts anytime they need them.
The Sky Pilot app is an excellent way (surely the best way) to provide digital products on Shopify. And their online chat (AI & live) has been very helpful, responsive to my questions and needs, helping me get set up. Some things did not make sense to me until their chat helped me. [Thank you!] Excellent app and online presence.
