Description

Easy Digital Downloads Free Downloads is a WordPress plugin designed to improve how free files are delivered in Easy Digital Downloads. Instead of sending visitors through the standard checkout flow, it presents a download modal that requests an email address before the file is accessed.

By collecting email (and optional first/last name), you can capture leads without adding unnecessary friction. Depending on your settings, users are redirected to a success page or custom page, or the file download starts automatically.

The plugin also includes purchase tracking for free downloads and automatic integration with compatible mailing list tools (such as MailChimp) to help you grow your subscriber list based on the download.

Main Features

  • Download modal for free files — Shows a pop-up prompt instead of routing users through the checkout process.
  • Email capture before download — Collects the visitor’s email address to proceed with accessing the free file.
  • Optional name fields — Supports collecting first and last name alongside the email.
  • Configurable next step — Redirects to a success page or custom page, or triggers automatic file download based on your configuration.
  • Custom modal text — Lets you adjust messaging displayed in the download prompt.
  • User registration options — Enables registration behavior tied to free downloads when configured.
  • Full free download tracking — Records free “purchases” to support reporting and workflow needs.
  • Mailing list integration — Automatically syncs subscribing emails with supported mailing list extensions.
  • Item-aware subscription rules — When supported, subscribes users based on the specific free download they process.

Benefits

  • Higher conversions — Replaces checkout steps with a quick modal flow that keeps users moving.
  • Better lead growth — Captures email (and optional names) while delivering the free resource.
