How to Sell Digital Products/Downloads
Overview
Zeffy allows you to sell digital products by attaching them to the automated thank you email that buyers receive after their purchase. This is a great way to deliver PDFs, digital downloads, and other electronic files to your customers immediately after payment.
If you wish to sell various digital products and include them in the automatic thank you email sent to buyers right after purchase, you will need to create a separate forms for each digital product you want to sell.
Important Guidelines
Only one attachment can be included per thank you email
Maximum file size is 20MB per attachment. If your file is larger, consider adding a private link to your thank you email to a webpage where the digital document can be downloaded.
Each form can only have one version of the thank you email
Supported file formats: PDF, JPG, PNG, and JPEG
