Easy Digital Downloads Downloads As Services 1.0.7
A WordPress plugin for Easy Digital Downloads that lets you mark individual downloads or categories as services, so the purchase confirmation no longer shows “no downloadable files” for those items. Downloads As Services reduces confusion, keeps emails clean, and improves checkout for digital services with or without attached files.
Description
Easy Digital Downloads Downloads As Services is a WordPress plugin designed for stores built with Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) that sell services instead of traditional downloadable assets. It addresses a common checkout issue where EDD can display the message “no downloadable files” on the purchase confirmation page for items that are meant to represent service work.
With this plugin, you can mark individual EDD downloads or entire categories as “services,” so customers see cleaner confirmation details. It also keeps email receipts tidy, helping reduce confusion during checkout for digital services, whether or not a file is attached to the service item.
Main Features
- Service flag per download — Mark specific Easy Digital Downloads items as services.
- Category-based service selection — Set an entire download category to behave as services.
- Confirmation page cleanup — Prevent the “no downloadable files” text from showing for marked services.
- Preserves attached files — If a service has a file attached, the confirmation will still show that file.
- Service-friendly email receipt — Slightly adjusts the email receipt so it does not include a dash next to the item name.
- Works with EDD checkout flow — Applies behavior to the EDD purchase confirmation experience.
- Supports services with or without files — Handles both service-only items and service items that include downloadable attachments.
