Download Management

Downloads are special EasyCart products that customers purchase and then download — music files, audiobooks, PDFs, or anything in a zip. Buyers access them from their account after purchase, and you control details like how long a download stays available and how many times it can be downloaded.

Editing downloads

Each purchased download has its own record you can fine-tune:

  • Unique Download ID — sticks to this download and order; not editable.
  • Date Created — usually the order date; adjust it to extend a time-limited download for a customer (for example, unlocking more time on a 5-day window).
  • Download Count — counts each download from the customer’s account; limit attempts (say, 3) for security, or reset to 0 to unlock more.
  • Attached Product — change which product this download is tied to from the original purchase.
  • Is Amazon Download — serve downloads from your own server or from Amazon S3; check this box if you’re using S3.
  • Download File Name — pick the file from your chosen system. S3 requires setup in the Third Party settings with proper permissions, while server downloads are listed automatically.
