Easy Digital Downloads Pro

Easy Digital Downloads Pro is the definitive solution to turn your WordPress site into a store specialized in digital products. Developed by Sandhills Development, this plugin is specifically designed for those who sell ebooks, downloadable courses, templates, presets, audio, software, or licenses, offering a much lighter and more focused alternative than generic e-commerce solutions.

With Easy Digital Downloads Pro, each product is managed as its own content type called Download, where you can attach files, set variable pricing per tier, create bundled packages, and configure download limits per purchase. The cart and checkout process are automatically created during installation, thanks to a setup wizard that guides you step by step to have your store operational the same day.

The plugin includes integrated payment gateways such as Stripe, PayPal, and Square, allowing you to accept payments from customers worldwide with just a few clicks. Additionally, it features a tax engine that supports country-specific rates and European VAT with VIES validation, as well as flexible discount codes with usage limits, validity dates, and restrictions by product or category.

One of the standout features of the Pro version is abandoned cart recovery, which automatically sends recovery emails to customers who did not complete their purchase, recovering between 10% and 25% of lost sales. It also includes advanced reports with metrics specific to digital stores: sales, revenue, average order value, new customers, and breakdowns by gateway, product, or discount.

File delivery is secure through tokenized URLs that cannot be guessed, and each download is logged so you know exactly who downloaded what and when. Customers automatically receive their receipts and download links by email after each purchase, and they can view their order history from their account.

Easy Digital Downloads Pro is complemented by more than 30 official extensions that expand its capabilities: recurring payments for subscriptions, software licenses, commissions for vendors, frontend content submission, and much more. All backed by a complete REST API that allows you to integrate your store with external tools.

If you are looking for a fast, secure digital sales platform fully integrated into your own WordPress, with no transaction fees and total control over your data, Easy Digital Downloads Pro is the natural choice.
