Can WooCommerce Handle Digital Products or Downloads?
Yes — WooCommerce is not just for physical products. It also supports digital products, making it a great choice for selling downloadable content such as ebooks, music, software, courses, templates, or digital artwork.
How Digital Product Sales Work in WooCommerce
When setting up a product in WooCommerce, you can simply tick a box to mark it as a digital and/or downloadable product. You’ll then be able to:
- Upload one or more files for download
- Set download limits (optional)
- Add expiry times for download access (optional)
- Skip shipping, since the product is virtual
Once a customer completes payment, WooCommerce automatically provides them with a secure link to download the files.
Why Use WooCommerce for Digital Sales?
- No ongoing platform fees (unlike marketplaces)
- Full control over pricing, file access, and licensing
- Integrates with tools for memberships, subscriptions, and course delivery
- Supports tax rules and billing for digital goods in Australia and internationally
You can also use extensions to track downloads, bundle products, or drip content over time.
