Downloadable products are products that can be sent in a file via Internet: ebooks, music, video, games etc. In Magento, it is possible to upload Downloadable products to your server, or link them to your store from another server.
Let’s say we want to sell ebooks on our store. In this case we need to create a Downloadable Product.
Products -> Catalog -> Add Product / Downloadable Product
Here the process is the same as if you were creating a Simple product: you need to enter basic product information. The only difference for the moment is that you need to put a tick in the Virtual/Downloadable box.
After you are done with basic information, press Advanced settings to expand the list and click on Downloadable Information.
Here you can upload the file with your ebook, let’s see how to do it.
Enter the title of your list of downloadable products.
Select whether links can be purchased separately. If you enable this function, customers will be able to buy available downloadable links separately. You can define the price for each link and the number of allowed downloads. Every link that customer decides to add to a downloadable product, augments the total price of the downloadable product except if the price of an added link is “0”. If you disable this function, the total price of your downloadable product won’t change in any case.
Press Add New Row to add a new file.
Enter the title of the file.
Limit the number of downloads if necessary. Select “Unlimited” if you don’t want to limit the number of downloads.
Select whether you would like your link to be shareable or for a single user only.
