Why store owners choose it

Skip the checkout friction

Replace Add to Cart with a secure download button so free products are one click away.

Shop and product page ready

Offer free downloads from listings, product pages, Quick View, and owned products.

Multiple files, one experience

Show links, buttons, or checkboxes — and zip multiple files automatically when needed.

Memberships & Subscriptions

Built-in support for official WooCommerce Memberships, Bundles, and Subscriptions.

Safe by design

Downloads use WooCommerce’s delivery methods with server-side checks — no exposed shortcuts.

Matches your store

Buttons inherit your theme styles, with optional CSS classes for extra control.

Frequently asked questions

What version of WooCommerce is supported? +

Free Downloads WooCommerce supports WooCommerce 4.0 and above (requirements list). Older 3.x stores may still work, but 4.0+ is recommended.

How can I get support? +

The free edition includes a full settings guide on the plugin settings page, plus the WordPress.org support forum. Pro customers get access to the premium support forum.

How are files downloaded? +

A secure front-end form requests the file. After checks pass, the plugin uses the WooCommerce downloader and your chosen download method (Force Downloads, X-Accel-Redirect/X-Sendfile, or Redirect).

How are dynamically created ZIP files handled? +

Product files must be uploaded to your WordPress site (WooCommerce Choose File). External links are not included in ZIPs. Temporary ZIP folders are cleared hourly and removed if the plugin is deactivated. For external links with multiple files, use the Links Only display method.

Are the full links to files visible to a user? +

That depends on your WooCommerce download method. Force Downloads and X-Sendfile style methods hide paths. Redirect may expose single-file URLs — the same behaviour as WooCommerce without this plugin.

Are WooCommerce Memberships and/or Subscriptions supported? +

Yes. Official Memberships and Subscriptions are supported. Membership-restricted free products only download for eligible members.

How do I activate my license key? +

Open the Pro Edition tab in the plugin settings, enter your license key, save, then click Activate License. Any errors are shown on that screen.
