Description

The Variable Pricing Switcher addon adds a price variation selector directly on Easy Digital Downloads download pages, allowing visitors to toggle between options such as a single license, an extended license, or promotional bundles without leaving the product page. This component replaces the static price listing with an interactive control that updates the displayed amount and purchase button based on the selected option, speeding up the buying decision in catalogs with multiple variations.

As an additional feature for Easy Digital Downloads, the Variable Pricing Switcher addresses a recurring issue in digital stores with multiple license options: the friction of displaying stacked price lines.
