Digital Products Management Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I enable digital products in my store?

In the left-hand navigation of your Shift4Shop Online Store Builder, click Modules and type eProducts into the search bar to bring up the module. Click the check box to enable, and then click Save. This is also where you determine the download expiration date and choose whether to require customers to log in to download.

• How do I create a digital product?

With the eProducts module enabled, in the product creation screen click the eProducts tab near the top right. For more information, see How Do I Make an eProduct? and read the links included in that article as well.

• What are the requirements for digital product file names?

If the file name is more than one word, do not use spaces. Instead, write the name as one word or replace the spaces with hyphens.
