How to Create Your Own Digital Download Website

[Jasmine]

Here is an easy guide to build a digital download website.

Install wordpress on your server.

Install Easy Digital Download plugin. You can try other digital download plugin, but I recommend Easy Digital Download because it has a lot of features and it is free. The plugin allows you to receive payment through paypal, cards, apple pay, and google pay. The plugin also has feature that allows you to offer discounts during the checkout.

Once the plugin is activated and necessary information is provided.

Create product listing on your website and upload your products.

When someone buys your product, he will be taken to product download page after payment confirmation.

You can also create multi vendor digital download website. Multi vendor means users can join your site and sell their own items. In order to do that you will have to allow users to create accounts on the site (the permission can be granted through setting tab). You will also have to use a plugin that will enable or disable permission for the user.

With the help of plugins, you can create any kind of websites on WordPress. The best plugin to convert a wordpress site to an online store is woocommerce. It is made by the developers of wordpress and is completely free. Woocommerce can be used to create dropshipping store (you will have to use another plugin to create dropshipping store), inventory based store, or even a digital store. However, using easy digital downloads is easy when it comes to creating a digital down store. There are a lot of other plugins you can use n order to create a digital store. One of the major issues with wordpress site is related to security issues. if you are selling items and collecting payment, your site is vulnerable to hacking. Therefore you will have to use security plugins to protect your website from unauthorized access. They also say wordpress cannot handle huge traffic.
