I have been using your application since November of last year, and everything has been running smoothly. However, since the latest Shopify update, I have encountered a problem. When a customer places an order, they no longer see the download link on the page, even though I have it activated in the settings. This issue only started occurring after the recent update. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue. By the way, I want to mention that the application is otherwise very, very good.

There is a minor problem with the application. When the purchase process is completed, the file download feature does not appear on the purchase completion page. The file is only sent by email * The application does not appear when the Checkout page is modified

I've used this app for almost ten years, and although it's not perfect, it does the job of sending my customers links to their purchased PDF patterns, and it's free. I would LOVE it if the files you uploaded were marked with a date! I would LOVE it if customer email addresses were synchronized with the address they use and updated in Shopify. Finally, the customers who have canceled a purchase or have received a refund don't get a new link sent if the file is updated. Finally, a hosted version of the app would be amazing. I wouldn't mind paying for one, so I wouldn't have to manually send people new links to their PDFs. Wardrobe By Me

This plugin only supports a single file upload, which is quite limiting and not clearly mentioned in the file management area. Although it seems to allow multiple file uploads initially, attempting to save results in a vague error message without any clear indication of the issue. This can be frustrating and time-consuming, especially when you need to manage multiple files. I hope the developers address this limitation and improve the error messaging for a better user experience.

Zero issues with the app. Works great, but we offer free POS PDFs for digital download - not selling digital products, so your milage may vary. See for yourself. https://paintedheirloom.com/products/fusion-mineral-paint-digital-downloads

Es ist ja eine offizielle Shopify-App. Wieso ist es nicht möglich, dieses Mail mit einem Shopify Mail-Template zu versenden?

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.

After payment, can you add the download button in the page?
Hi, there! Thank you for your review. At this time, files are only available to download via email after the purchase is complete. However, I have submitted your feedback to our developers for their consideration. Thanks again! - Greta, Shopify Support

App was working really well for about a year. However, for the past couple months, it's been extremely buggy, and Shopify seems to have no solution. It says 'Unsupported' under the settings page. Files don't upload for me anymore, or they upload but I'm not able to save changes. One of my products has 2 digital files attached, but the app only lists 1. I'm not sure if things are getting sent out properly either. I've tested different browsers, different computers... Nothing... So it's basically become useless, and I'm at a point where I need to migrate to a new app. Pretty frustrating...
Hey there, thanks for the review. If you are experiencing issues with the application, try to clear the cache on your browser and try the actions again: https://shopify.link/b7xY. If the issue persists, I would suggest attempting to use a separate browser to see if that does the trick. For example, if you are using Safari - try this on Google Chrome. In the case that it does not resolve the issue that you are experiencing, you can speak with our live support by navigating to the Help Center: https://shopify.link/mLA. -Ollie, Shopify Support

I too have had no problem with this app. It does what it's supposed to do. I've not had any complaints? I'm not sure why the low rating. Now Shopify tells me to contact the developer and update it.? But the Developer is Shopify. I see an answer from them below saying that they are working on it and it gives a link to their progress but the link doesn't work. ??

Generally the app works well, I've been using it around 5 years, however there are a few issues and things that could be improved. 1. There have been several occasions where downloads have not been sent for a few hours and this has cost me time and stress trying to fix it although it did sort itself out in the end... 2. The main thing that could be improved is adding the download links into the customer account page so customers can download again in future. I'm regularly getting asked if I can send download links again because a customer has changed computers and lost the emails etc. This is a huge pain if the customer has 10+ orders and i have to send one at a time! I have found a workaround for this though! If you open up the list of customers orders and select them all, you can mark them as unfulfilled and then mark as fulfilled again. This will send all of the emails again in one go! You may want to uncheck 'send notification to customer' otherwise they'll get a 'your order is on the way' email too which is not needed! 3. There's no way for a customer to download all files in one go. A zip file would be nice. For example if they buy 50 digital products in one order they will need to download all 50 from different links. It would be much better if it could generate a zip from all of the files and create a single link for that. Hope this helps!

If Digital Downloads no longer working... Just reinstalled it looks like after updating my store version might of cause the API to stop working.

Folgender Hinweis steht in der App: "Diese App funktioniert eventuell nicht wie erwartet Digital Downloads muss vom App-Entwickler aktualisiert werden. Kontaktiere sie, um Unterstützung zu erhalten, oder deinstalliere die App." Ansich funktioniert die App ok, fände es toll, wenn Shopify die eigenen Apps für solch eine wichtige Funktion (z.B. Ebooks, Rezepte...) inhouse pflegt und nicht Drittanbieter Lösungen notwendig sind.

I love this app, but I just saw it's unsupported now. I contacted the Shopify Support Team and they told me they won't update it and I should maybe consider other apps... This is sad!
Hello. Thank you for sharing your review. That is correct. At this time, we will only be implementing critical security fixes or fix widespread bugs. We apologize for any inconvenience. -Mac, Shopify Support

The app has been working for two years with no problems. but lately it's been crashing all the time. And now a message appears: "This application may not work as expected". It's impossible to contact the developer. I don't know what to do.
