A file delivered electronically after a purchase, signup, or click, such as a PDF, template, image, audio file, or software package. The seller should explain the file format, access method, license, support, and refund conditions before delivery.
How Digital Download Works
A digital download is delivered as a file rather than a shipped object. After the required action, such as a purchase or sign-up, the user receives access through a download link, account area, email, or another electronic delivery method.
Simple Example
A customer buys a checklist and receives a PDF download link immediately after payment.
Why It Matters for Beginners
This matters because delivery can be automated and immediate, but file access, licensing, refunds, updates, and customer support still need to be planned.
A Common Mistake
Assuming automated delivery eliminates the need for licensing terms, updates, support, or secure file access.
