Easy Digital Downloads Manual Purchases

Description

The add-on Manual Purchases adds to the Easy Digital Downloads admin dashboard a manual orders registration screen, allowing you to record finished sales outside the standard checkout and assign digital products directly to an existing or new customer. This flow covers sales by phone, bank transfer, courtesy sales and platform migrations, generating the order with configurable status and sending receipt and files to the buyer automatically.

Main Features

• Manual order registration
  Creates orders in Easy Digital Downloads without going through the site’s checkout flow.
• Digital product assignment
  Links one or more existing downloads to the recorded order for the chosen customer.
• Client selection
  Allows using an already registered client or creating a new record during the operation.
• Configurable order status
  Sets whether the sale enters as completed, pending, or any other available status in the dashboard.
• Automatic receipt sending
  Triggers the purchase email with download links to the client registered in the order.

Benefits of Manual Purchases

• External sales coverage
  Records courtesy sales, offline payments and transfers without leaving gaps in the sales history.
• Unified customer history
  Centralizes all purchases of the buyer in the same profile, regardless of the source channel.
• Simplified migration
  Facilitates importing customers from another platform already with orders assigned to their history.
• More accurate reports
  Ensures that sales metrics and exports reflect the real revenue of the digital shop.

Who is this for?

• Digital product retailers who receive payments through external channels outside the website.
• Support teams that need to manually grant access to downloads and courtesy sales.
• Sales reps in platform migration who want to preserve customers’ order history.

For Easy Digital Downloads shops that operate with parallel selling channels, this extension eliminates the need for external spreadsheets or database adjustments, keeping each transaction properly recorded, with linked products, identified customer and receipt delivered according to the shop’s default settings.
