Easy Digital Downloads Download Email Attachments 1.1.2
Description
Easy Digital Downloads Download Email Attachments is a WordPress plugin for Easy Digital Downloads that sends customers their purchased files directly as email attachments. After activation, it automatically attaches all download files to the purchase receipt email, including files provided through bundled downloads. This helps you simplify fulfillment and reduce the need for customers to click through immediately to access their items.
It also supports per-download control, so you can override the attachment behavior at the download level when needed. Keep in mind attachment size limits: larger files (notably over 10MB, or lower limits set by some inboxes) may fail to reach customers. The plugin does not remove download links from the purchase confirmation page or receipt, so link visibility can be adjusted separately if desired.
Main Features
- Automatic receipt attachments — Attaches purchased download files to Easy Digital Downloads purchase receipt emails.
- Bundled download inclusion — Adds files from bundled products to the same receipt email as attachments.
- Per-download override option — Lets you enable or adjust attachments for specific downloads instead of only using a global setting.
- Email delivery workflow — Uses the purchase receipt email flow so delivery happens alongside the standard confirmation process.
- Attachment size awareness — Designed for attachment-based delivery while highlighting that large files may not reach inboxes.
- Non-destructive link handling — Keeps download links on confirmation pages/receipts, allowing separate customization via shortcode receipt content.
- Flexible link removal possible — Supports removing links from emails by editing the email content yourself.
