Easy Digital Downloads Fields

Description

The Fields addon adds custom fields to Easy Digital Downloads products, allowing you to collect extra buyer information directly on the download page, at checkout, or in order forms. Ideal for digital stores selling customizable items, nominal licenses, fonts with specific typography, or files that require customer data before download release, eliminating manual email collection after the sale.

Main Features

  Includes text, textarea, checkbox, dropdown, and single-select buttons in the form.

  Allows you to force completion to prevent checkout without the provided data.
• Configurable contextual display
  Choose whether the field appears on the product page, during checkout, or on the order receipt.
• Direct link to order
  Saves the value entered by the customer alongside the order record in the Easy Digital Downloads panel.

Benefits of Fields

• Custom data capture per product
  Allows obtaining different information for each type of store download.
• Reduced email exchanges with the customer
  Reduces the cycle to obtain customization or licensing data after payment.
• History linked to each sale
  Ensures buyer responses are recorded and accessible in the corresponding order.

Who Should Use?

• Digital retailers selling customizable products, such as fonts, graphics, or editable templates.
• Software or license sellers who need to capture name or company for nominal registration.
• Creators offering customization services alongside the main file who rely on customer briefings.

Targeted toward digital retailers who need specific information for each purchase, the Fields addon eliminates email exchanges between seller and customer to capture data such as name for licensing, customization specifications, or delivery requirements. Fields are linked to each order in the Easy Digital Downloads admin panel, creating a searchable record for post-sale support and demand-based production.
