Digital Products
Overview
Selling digital products — ebooks, software licenses, templates, music, courses — requires secure delivery after payment, download limits to prevent unauthorized sharing, and expiring access links. Every major platform either has this built in (WooCommerce) or has a mature app that handles it (Shopify, BigCommerce). Use the platform's native solution first; only build custom delivery infrastructure if your use case (complex license key management, subscription-gated content libraries) exceeds what apps offer.
When to Use This Skill
- When adding downloadable products (PDFs, software, audio, templates) to an existing store
- When implementing a license key delivery system for software products
- When building a subscription that gates access to a digital content library
- When replacing publicly accessible download URLs with secure, expiring signed URLs
