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.

this goes out of its way to be clunky and cumbersome. if you're here looking for a solution to sell music, unfortunately this probably ain't it.

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.

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.

They say to ignore the old reviews and things have changed but I can't see how. I added the download pdf without a problem - did a test check out and there is no link, or any information to download the pdf. Crazy!

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!

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?

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.

It just doesn't work. I'm lucky a customer messaged me personally to let me know they weren't receiving their downloads because the app automatically archives orders and claims to have delivered the digital product, even when it hasn't.
Thank you for your review and that information. I recommend contacting our Support Team (https://shopify.link/W8y0) so they can look further into this for you. -Emily, Shopify Support

It just stops working and nobody at support knows why

It's simply an insult to Shopify customers that in 2024 there is no native, properly functioning digital download app. Links do not appear after purchase and there is no link to download again in the client panel. looking for another solution.
Hey there, thanks for the review. I can certainly see the benefit of Shopify having a native function for digital products without the use of an application. I am going to provide the feedback to our developers as a suggestion. We appreciate you taking the time to bring this to our attention. -Ollie, Shopify Support

Shocking app, very poor from Shopify considering the high monthly fees we pay. Does not allow you to add branding to the email that sends the download, so it looks like spam and builds a distrust with your customers
Hi, there! Thank you for your review. I understand how being able to add your branding to the Digital Downloads email would be beneficial for your business, so I have shared your feedback with our developers. I can't guarantee the change will be implemented, but if it is, an update will be posted to the Shopify Changelog (https://shopify.link/N5vR). Thanks again for your feedback! - Greta, Shopify Support

DO NOT get this app. Shopify is no longer supporting it and this is a quote from a tech support rep: the current app is in maintenance mode, meaning that developers are only investing resources into resolving "critical security fixes or widespread bugs". After using it for four years I can no longer upload files.
Hey, there! Thank you for taking the time to review Digital Downloads. While we still support the app, the scope of our support may be limited. If our support team confirms that an issue cannot be supported, you may consider using one of the third-party apps in the app store which you can find a list of here: https://shopify.link/vkM2. -Summer, Shopify Support

Doesn’t work, does not upload, never finishes uploading 0 stars
Hey, there! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue with the Digital Downloads app. If you're open to it, you can try the following local troubleshooting steps to attempt to fix the problem: Clear the cookies and cache of your browser (https://shopify.link/nWZD) Try a different web browser, as well as an incognito window or private browsing window (https://shopify.link/xy5o) to rule out any browser issues. If you are still experiencing the error using incognito, confirm you have disabled browser extensions as these can change how the pages look. Ensure the web browser (https://shopify.link/3zvN) is up-to-date (https://shopify.link/ynwg) on the latest version. Try another device, such as another computer or mobile phone. Try another internet connection (switching to a cellular network on a phone rather than wifi, for example). Ensure you do not have any firewalls or pop up blockers enabled on your device as these can interfere. If none of these resolve the issue, you're welcome to create a support ticket by visiting our Help Center (https://shopify.link/goV1) and starting a chat with our AI assistant. One of our support advisors will be happy to look into this! -Summer, Shopify Support

App works for downloading digital images, then it stops functioning properly. Its glitchy. Now instead of automatically allowing users to receive a link in checkout confirmation... it "hangs up" and states there is a delay. When I look in admin, there is an unfulfilled status on the purchase. So instead of automatically fulfilling the order, it hangs up and waits for a response on the admin side. These orders are all digital download and have NO physical products in the order, which will cuase this issue, but we do not have that case. All digital. A second issue, if you add your digital file using the link provided when setting up the produce it will not actually add the downloadable file. You have to do this in two steps. Add your product as you normally would, then go in through the app, find the product and add the download file.
Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback! I'm happy to pass this on to our team who looks into improvements we can make. That being said, I'd also recommend you contact our support team through the Help Center here (https://shopify.link/vRnL) so we can take a look at this with you. We'd be happy to review this and see what we can do to help get it working as expected. -Erin, Shopify Support
