How it works
Create a digital product in five steps — from upload to first sale.
Create a new product
Navigate to Products and click New Product. Select Digital as the product type.
Upload your file
Drag and drop your file or click to browse. Accepted formats: PDF, ZIP, and EPUB up to 50MB.
Set your price
Enter the price for the digital product. You can also add a setup fee or tax rate if needed.
Configure download settings
Set max downloads (1-100, default 5) and link expiry (1-365 days, default 30 days).
Save and publish
Make it visible in your shop. Customers can now purchase and receive the file automatically.
Automatic secure delivery
When a customer pays, PayRequest generates a unique download token and delivers the file instantly — no manual work required.
Customer pays
Payment is processed through your connected payment provider
Token created
A secure, unique download link is generated with your configured limits
Instant access
The download link appears immediately on the payment success page
Email delivery
The order confirmation email includes the download link
Portal access
The customer can re-download from their order history in the customer portal
Download links work across all your domains — your main PayRequest domain, custom domains, and your sales page. Customers always get a working link regardless of where they purchased.
Download limits & expiry
Each purchase creates a download token with its own limits. Configure once, and every new sale uses your settings automatically.
Set generous download limits (5-10) so customers can download on multiple devices. The expiry period ensures links don't stay active indefinitely.
When a customer reaches the download limit or the link expires, they see a message explaining that the download is no longer available.
Managing your files
Replace or remove files at any time from the product editor.
Replacing a file
Upload a new file in the Digital File tab — the old file is automatically removed. New purchases receive the updated file. Existing download tokens continue to serve the file that was active when the token was created.
Removing a file
Click Remove next to the current file and confirm. Existing download tokens for that product will no longer work, so make sure all customers have downloaded their files first.
Download tracking

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell multiple files in one product?
Each digital product supports one file. To bundle multiple files, create a ZIP archive containing all files and upload that.
What happens if a customer needs more downloads?
You can view the customer's download token on the order detail page and share the download link directly — or they can re-purchase for a new token.
Are files stored securely?
Yes. Files are stored on encrypted cloud storage and can only be accessed through valid download tokens. Direct access to storage is not possible.
Can I change download limits after creating a product?
Yes. Changes to download settings apply to all future purchases. Existing tokens keep the limits they were created with.
Do digital products work with custom domains?
Yes. Download links work on all domains — your main PayRequest domain, custom domains, and sales pages.
What file types are supported?
PDF, ZIP, and EPUB files up to 50MB. For larger bundles, compress your files into a ZIP archive.
