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.
