Downloadable Product Overview

Downloadable Products have many of the same features that a Simple Product can offer. Such as Customer Group Pricing, Customizations, and Restrictions. You can offer multiple files at different prices on the same Downloadable Product. Sample files can be groups together or included in-line with each file.

Downloads

The example settings below provide two different downloads that can each be purchased individually.

Price

The price of this Downloadable Product is $20, so the first download will cost $20 when because its individual price is $0.00. The second download is an extra $20, causing the overall price for that download to be $40.

You can apply Customer Group Pricing to the base price of the Downloadable Product. Learn about Customer Group Pricing here.

The Files / Links

Your files can be uploaded to Zoey, or existing download links can be provided. Under File Download you can choose to upload the file or copy in the link. Files added to the Zoey File Manager can be listed by copying their URL from the file manager.

You can set a Max Download amount to only allow a certain amount of downloads per purchase, decide if the download URL will be shareable across contacts, or if the file should be viewed in browser.

Samples

Sample files can be listed on the Downloadable Product itself by clicking Allow users to download sample files.... You can then give the section a name and Add Samples.

If you provide a URL in the Sample Download section within Download Files, it will be display in-line with the file.
