Creating a Downloadable Product

Overview

A downloadable product is a product which can be delivered to the customer as a file. This includes eBooks, software applications, and videos. 

TIP: Providing a sample of your downloadable product for your customers to initially download can help them get a better sense of your product. See below for instructions.
