Easy Digital Downloads Download Email Attachments

Description

The Download Email Attachments addon attaches digital files sold directly to the receipt email sent by Easy Digital Downloads, activatable per download in the admin panel. The traditional download links on the confirmation page remain active, allowing the customer to receive ebooks, audio, spreadsheets or other lightweight files directly in the inbox and still keep a backup via the link, with support for bundle downloads.

• Support for bundled downloads
  Packages all Easy Digital Downloads bundle files into a single email for the customer.

Benefits of Download Email Attachments

• Immediate inbox delivery
  The customer accesses the product directly via email, no need to return to the site after payment.
• Fewer support tickets
  Reduces requests to resend links and questions about how to retrieve the download after purchase.
• Automatic buyer backup
  The file remains stored in the customer’s email if the original link expires or is lost.
• Granular product control
  The store decides which items travel as attachments and which remain available only via the download area.

Who is it recommended for?

• Easy Digital Downloads stores that sell ebooks, audio, photos, spreadsheets and other low to medium weight digital files.
• Sellers looking to reduce support tickets related to lost or expired download links.
• Merchants working with bundles who need to deliver multiple compact files in a single message to the customer.

In an Easy Digital Downloads store that sells compact files, the Download Email Attachments addon shortens the path between paying and consuming, turning the receipt email into the final delivery point for the product. Granular download activation avoids complications with heavy items, and bundle support covers the typical scenario of promotional packages that bundle multiple files sold together.
