Digital Downloads

Jan. 26, 2020

I have mixed feelings with this app. It's great that it's free and it does the job (recommended for e-books) you can set download limit to discourage illegal forwarding, BUT the limit what causes the trouble. I get customer complaints every day that the download button didn't work and because they tried clicking on it many a few times, they exceeded the limit. They didn't actually download the file but the app thinks they did. This might be a device issue on their end but it's definitely something the developers should look into. Setting the limit to unlimited still causes them negative customer experience because after they pay for a product, they get a download button that either works or not. If this issue gets fixed, I'll give 5 stars immediately!

PCゲームのDownload販売をするためにこのアプリを導入しました。 Download回数制限など、最低限の機能はついています。 ただ、shopify本体の注文履歴は削除できますが、このアプリ内のorder履歴の削除は出来ません。 アップデートの希望が一つあります。 Downloadのリンクの有効期限を、○○日後まで有効というような設定が欲しいです。

I want to love this app. And for awhile, I did. I've been using it for a few years now. But recently, somehow my digital products are having the "this is a physical product" field mysteriously checked in the admin product pages. I am NOT making this change. It's some glitch. And you know what happens when that field gets checked? The Digital Downloads app deletes your file- without you knowing. Until, that is, your customers complain that that they never received the download link for the product that was blatantly described as an "instant download." To them, it feels like a bait and switch. And I have no doubt that this glitch is affecting my conversion rates, because once a customer goes to checkout, if the file has been deleted by the app, it tells them that their "download" product will be delivered in 6-8 business days! Hello, abandoned carts. I continue to work with support to get this issue resolved. So far, nothing has worked. Am I the only one experiencing this glitch?

Ok app, but "edit proxy url" settings doesn't work. So you cannot change the default "downloads" url. If you change it, all your digital download links will be broken (not working). Also it uses http as default and there is no way to change it to use https:// And you cannot change the default download button text or text below the button. Two and half stars.

Well, It's free but it's also essential to use shopify for digital products. They need to do so much work on this app though. We need to be able to see when a customer has downloaded and from which IP address with order details. I can't delete files for the digital products that have been removed, they are still in the list! The stat's page needs a complete redesign. Need a global setting for download limit. The list goes on. It does do the job, but needs some love to make it great! Updated review: After about 3 months of use - there are problems with large downloads not completing and the downloads are very, very slow, unacceptably slow in fact. This app is probably OK for small files but for anything over 250 MB I would look else where. Also, the email address that the download links come from often gets rejected as spam resulting in the customer not getting the link and YOU have to manually create a link and send it to them - not good if you have 100's of orders a month! I will have to move to a PAID app, but that is probably why this free one is so restricted isn't it Shopify?

This app has two major drawbacks: 1. You cannot set download links to expire after a set amount of time. This is bad. 2. Customers cannot access download links from their account page. Both of these issues seem like obvious features, and I can't understand why they aren't included.

Would get 5 stars easily if it could do the following: * Allow users to get download link when they login to the store. It makes no sense how they can get tracking for their physical items through their account but cannot get a link to their digital download. * Update fulfillment fields with link to download. This will allow anyone using the API to get and display the download link to customers.

Works about 75 percent of the time. Doesn't always send out the emails which is a pain and a hassle.

Works pretty well! Except for the fact that the download email ends up in the spam of some customers...
