Selling digital products

Selling digital products

Along with physical goods, you can also sell digital goods on your Shopify store. Digital goods are often available to the customer immediately after they make their purchase. Some common digital products are online services and downloadable files, such as digital art, video, or audio clips. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are also a digital product that can be sold through Shopify. There are no additional fees for selling digital products on your online store.

With Shopify's free Digital Downloads app, you can upload digital files such as videos, songs, and graphic art as products in your store. When a customer purchases a product with a digital file, they receive a link to download the file.

The Digital Downloads app has the following main sections:
  1. Products - View, edit, filter, and attach digital files to products.
  2. Orders - View all orders containing digital products that have been purchased through your store.
  3. Settings - Personalize email templates and checkout options.
