IMPORTANT: You must have online sales enabled and an online payment gateway set up in order to sell digital downloads. See How Do I Set Up Online Sales? for more information.
If you have gallery downloads enabled: Turn off gallery downloads in the settings, since that would allow your clients to download without paying. See related article: How to Enable Gallery Image Downloads
Step 1: Go to Your Store Settings
Go to the Store in the side menu, then go to the Settings tab in the vertical menu.
Under the Online Sales section, click on the Enable Sales switch, and make sure you have enabled at least one of the options in the Payment Methods section.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the Save Terms button once you’re done changing your settings.
Step 2: Create a Price List
If you only want to sell digital downloads, you should create a new price list. Go to the Store page in the menu, then click on the Pricing tab in the vertical menu.
Click on the + New Price List button. An Add Price List box will appear.
In the Order Fulfillment drop-down list, select the Self-fulfilled - Empty option. Click on the Save Button.
Step 3: Edit Your Price List Items
On your price list, click on your products category tile image. It should say Edit Items when you hover over it.
From there, an empty price list will appear (if you have created a new price list). Click on the Add an Item button.
When the Add Item box appears:
Click on the Digital Download radio button.
Under the Item Name field, enter in a name for your digital downloads.
When you’re done editing your item, click on the Create Item button.
Step 4: Set the Product Price, Download Type and Size
Once you have created your Digital Downloads item, you will be required to set the following:
Price: Set the price for your digital downloads.
Download Type: Enable single image downloads (default), or all images.
Download Size: Choose from different image resolutions.
In the Show More Options section, you can fine-tune even more details about your item, such as the item description, set a max number of downloads, add product images, or set order upgrade options.
Once you are done, click on the Save Product button.
Step 5: Go to Your Gallery Settings
If you haven’t already, go to your Gallery Settings tab and click on Sales in the list.
Under the Online Sales section, make sure the Enable Sales toggle is on.
Go to the Price List section. From the drop-down list, add the new price list you created for your digital downloads.
Click on the Save Settings button once you have completed all of these steps.
