Thanks for this ! Another question- so for digital product sales on woo, is there a way to test this and do a dry run before it’s live to make sure all the links are working? I tried to do a sample purchase myself and the download link, while correct and works when I copy and paste it, is coming up as just a page full of what looks to be code after the purchase is made and download is clicked. Not sure why.

Hi, @workspacetherapist. Thanks for your comment. I'm glad to hear our tutorial is helpful. The issue you're experiencing sounds to be the browser you're using viewing the linked file within the browser, instead of downloading it to your device and as the correct file type. I suggest you reach out to official WooCommerce Support, who can assist you with this best. I hope this makes sense and helps point you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any questions about any of our plugins for WordPress and WooCommerce ( barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/ref/1075/ ).

when adding new products i dont have this interface but rather a more simpler one, where I just check include downloads and attach the file from there as a media file, since it wont allow me to upload zip files. I dont see a virtual checkbox as well

@Barn2Plugins 3 ай бұрын

Hi Vector. Thank you for your comment. You might want to check whether or not you have the updated version of WooCommerce. You may also want their support take a closer look at the issue for you. Good luck and let us know if there's anything we can help you with. Cheers! - Keza

I too am struggling with zip files, adding them to products. My WP came up with a different simple format like others have said, but I noticed a link at the bottom to go back to the traditional version ( I couldn't upload zips at all in this new version). Now in the traditional version I can add a zip file, It goes into the media section which seems odd but ok, whats even stranger is that it adds the word -crewda.zip after the file name. Have you tried adding a zip file ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, @elephantsanddaisysembroide6656. I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with adding zip files as virtual and downloadable products on your website for some reason. Thanks for letting us know so we can help. We’re not aware of any issues with adding/creating such a product, and I have done some testing to make sure it’s working correctly on a test site. I haven’t managed to replicate the issue, so we need to work out what’s causing it on your site. I suggest you reach out to official WooCommerce support at woo.com/contact-us/ who can assist you with this best. I hope this helps point you in the right direction. Please let me know if there's anything else that we may assist you with. Best regards, -Edge

And you can put some of your digital Products together and sell as a bundle with the free version is that right?

@Barn2Plugins 27 күн бұрын

Hey @workspacetherapist. WooCommerce Product Table doesn't officially support composite products, product bundles and grouped products. However, you can list your bundled products with WooCommerce using the official WooCommerce Product Bundles extension. If you have further questions, you can also get in touch via our Support Center at barn2.com/support-center/ where we can discuss your requirements in more detail. Best regards, -Nikki

@@Barn2Plugins And if I'm just offering several digital downloads as a bundle it still is not possible to do this with just woocommerce? I didn't think I needed the bundle plug-in for just putting several digital downloads in one product for sale?

Something that's driving me crazy: There's no easy way to stamp the PDF with the customer's name on purchase. The current solutions don't preserve the PDF links, which is annoying. Does anyone know a way around this?

Hi Mike. Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure whether this is the perfect solution for what you've described but you might want to look into this WordPress PDF Stamper plugin - www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wordpress-pdf-stamper-plugin/. Cheers! - Keza

I keep searching madly to find out how to add downloadable products with preset AUDIO of 4-5 units each. everyone says 'download' but doesn't say how to download FOLDERS..... not files. Single unit files are easy.

@Barn2Plugins 4 ай бұрын

Hi there! You should first compressed the individual files into a .zip folder before uploading it as a downloadable product in your WooCommerce store. Once a customer purchase the product, they will have access to the .zip folder where multiple files are stored. Cheers! - Keza

Do I need Paypal Business account to accept the payment?

@Barn2Plugins 19 күн бұрын

Hi @sammy316 No, you don't need a PayPal Business account to accept payments with Easy Digital Downloads (EDD). While PayPal is a popular payment gateway option for EDD, you can also use other gateways like Stripe, which doesn't require a business account. EDD offers various payment gateway options to suit your needs. If you have further questions, you can also get in touch via our Support Center at barn2.com/support-center/ where we can discuss your requirements in more detail. Best regards, -Nikki
