Selling Digital Downloads & Files

Selling Digital Downloads

To sell digital files and images on goimagine follow the below steps:

1. Start by creating a product like you normally would. You can learn how to create a product here: http://help.goimagine.com/articles/51889-creating-products-video

2. On the GENERAL Tab of the product make sure to select that the product is "Downloadable"

Downloadable—this checkbox is also checked automatically after the file is added to the product.
Enable shipping for downloadable products—if this checkbox is ticked, shipping costs will be calculated for this downloadable product just like for normal products.
Time-unlimited download—if this checkbox is ticked, the product download period never expires.

2. After creating a product open the "Files to sell" tab on the product editing page.

3. Click "+ Add file" and upload the file that you want to sell.

NOTE: The PREVIEW file is optional and only needs to be used if you would like to offer a preview download for free. This should be a WATERMARKED file since the buyer will be able to download the sample file for free. Again, the preview file is optional and not required.

3. If you are selling MULTIPLE DOWNLOAD files in a group you should first create a folder by clicking "+ Add Folder".

4. After creating a FOLDER you can then add multiple files within the folder to be delivered as a ZIP file download to the buyer.

4. ACTIVATION MODE determines when the buyer receives the digital download. If you choose "Manual" it means you need to manually activate the download after the purchase. If you choose "Immediately" the buyer automatically receives the download after the purchase. Most sellers set the activation mode to "immediately".

Manually—allow a customer to download the file after the administrator has allowed it.
Immediately—allow a customer to download the file immediately after the order is placed.

6. MAX DOWNLOADS defines how many times the buyer is allowed to download the files from the website after the purchase.

5. LICENSE AGREEMENT is the terms you have the buyer agree to when purchasing your digital downloads. AGREEMENT REQUIRED makes the buyer select at checkout that they agree to the license agreement.

The digital product has now been created. Feel free to create a test order and check the result.

Once a digital product is purchased the buyer will receive the following:

An email with the download link is sent to the customer.
The download link will become available on the order details page of the customer’s account.

A link to download the product in the order details.

All the purchased digital products will be available to the customer on the Downloads page of the customer’s account.

In the seller dashboard, orders with downloadable products will appear on a new tab called Downloads. There administrators can approve the download, prolong the download availability period, and check the number of downloads left within the order.
