Easy Digital Downloads Purchase Limit

Easy Digital Downloads Purchase Limit is an official extension designed for stores that sell digital products with Easy Digital Downloads and need to control how many times a file, license, or download can be purchased. Although digital products typically do not require inventory management, there are cases where it is essential: selling event tickets, promotions with limited slots, restricted releases, or business agreements that require a maximum number of sales.

This extension adds a purchase limit field directly to the editing screen of each product. You can set a global limit for the entire product or individual limits for each variable price option. When the set limit is reached, the purchase button automatically changes to "Sold Out" and new customers can no longer purchase the item, preventing overselling and poor scarcity management.

In addition to quantity limits, the extension offers date-based restrictions: you can define a start and/or end date for sales, allowing scheduled launches, temporary sales closures, or campaigns with a specific time window. It also includes the option to apply restrictions globally (site-wide) or per user, which is useful if you want to limit how many units each individual customer can purchase.

Key features include the ability to display how many purchases remain with a custom message, configure custom texts for the sold-out button and error messages, and choose between showing errors inline or redirecting the user to a specific page. The extension takes into account the product's historical sales, so if there are prior sales, the limit must exceed that number to prevent the item from appearing as sold out immediately.

It is the ideal solution for digital creators, ticket sellers, software developers, and any store that needs to manage the availability of their digital products accurately and without complications.
