FAQ About Getting Started with Shopify

Yes, you can sell digital products on Shopify. Shopify offers features and capabilities specifically designed to support the sale of digital goods such as e-books, music, software, courses, photos, and other downloadable items. Here's how you can sell digital products on Shopify:

• Add digital products: In your Shopify admin panel, you can create product listings for your digital products. Provide a title, description, and upload digital files associated with the product. You can also set a download limit or expiration date for the digital products if desired.
• File hosting and delivery: Shopify provides secure file hosting for your digital products, ensuring they are protected and available for download by customers upon purchase. Customers will receive download links or access to their purchased digital products through their email or customer account.
• Digital product variations: If your digital product has different versions or options (e.g., different file formats or package options), you can set up product variants just like with physical products. This allows customers to choose the specific version they want to purchase.
• File size limits: Shopify imposes file size limits for digital products to ensure smooth delivery and efficient management. The limit varies depending on your pricing plan, so make sure your digital files comply with the specified limits.
• Security and piracy prevention: Shopify employs security measures to protect your digital products from unauthorized access or piracy. Links to download the digital files are encrypted and only accessible to customers who have made a purchase.
• Automatic order fulfillment: Once a customer completes the purchase of a digital product, the file is automatically delivered to them, either through a download link or via their customer account. This ensures a seamless and immediate fulfillment process.
• Product updates and revisions: If you make updates or revisions to your digital products, you can upload the updated files to the corresponding product listing on Shopify. Customers who have previously purchased the product will have access to the updated version.
