Free Downloads WooCommerce Pro lets a WooCommerce store offer eligible digital products without checkout. Use it for audio files, course documentation, themes, add-ons, or digital catalogues for physical products. Products may contain one file or several; product rules decide who may download, while delivery options decide how files reach them.

Set eligibility before publishing

Limit free downloads by product, category, or tag. The Pro edition supports variable and grouped products. When a product requires membership, only users with the required membership can download it. The plugin works with WooCommerce Memberships and Subscriptions and also supports Paid Member Subscriptions by Cozmoslabs.

Choose what visitors receive

Deliver a download after redirecting a user to a page, or email them a download link. Layout settings can present products with multiple files. Buttons and links automatically match the store theme; custom CSS and HTML classes allow further visual adjustments.

For guest downloads, the add-on can request an email address before the download begins. The email-capture workflow can also subscribe visitors to a MailChimp newsletter. PDF downloads are supported, and the Pro edition is compatible with the official WooCommerce PDF Watermark plugin.

Set limits and review downloads

Limit the number of downloads a visitor can access by day, week, month, or year. Custom limits can apply to users with WooCommerce Membership plans, specific user roles, or individual accounts.

Each download record includes the product, variation when applicable, date, user, email address, and IP address. Logged-in customers can view their free download history on their WooCommerce account page. Store owners can review usage through download tracking and reporting.
