Easy Digital Downloads Coming Soon

Description

The Coming Soon addon transforms Easy Digital Downloads product pages into pre-launch landing pages, hiding the purchase button and displaying a custom “Coming Soon” message until the release date. The extension also adds an email capture field to the template, building a list of interested parties who receive automatic notification when the download becomes publicly available.
