Easy Digital Downloads Simple Shipping Addon 2.5.3
Description
Easy Digital Downloads Simple Shipping Addon is a WordPress plugin that extends Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) with basic shipping management for stores that sell digital products plus a limited number of physical items. It helps you collect customer shipping details during checkout, apply simple flat-rate shipping, and keep track of whether an order has been marked as shipped. Designed for a straightforward workflow inside your EDD store, it also supports shipping where products have multiple price options. If you run a marketplace, it pairs with Frontend Submissions to let vendors manage shipping rates.
With reporting tools included, you can export orders that are still unshipped from the Downloads → Reports → Export screen, and you can record tracking numbers and send shipping confirmation emails to customers.
