Easy Digital Downloads Simple Shipping

Description

The Simple Shipping extension adds shipping charges to Easy Digital Downloads products, setting distinct per-item rates for domestic and international deliveries and displaying shipping address fields at checkout. Recommended for merchants who sell hybrid products (digital files combined with physical items such as printed books, CDs, vinyl records, or promotional kits), the module also allows orders to be marked as shipped directly from the EDD orders panel.

Who Is It Recommended For?

• Authors who sell e-books with a corresponding printed version.
• Musicians and independent labels that distribute downloads alongside vinyl records, CDs, or tapes.
• Artists, designers, and photographers who sell digital files and physical prints.
• Easy Digital Downloads merchants with complementary physical products in their catalog.

Designed for EDD stores that need to sell physical merchandise alongside digital files, the add-on eliminates the need to migrate to another e-commerce platform or install a separate cart. Native integration with the Easy Digital Downloads checkout flow, receipts, and reports preserves the administration panel already familiar to the administrator while incorporating shipping calculation, address capture, and shipping control.
