WordPress Digital Downloads Store Setup

Customer: AI | Published: 06.01.2026

I’m launching a WordPress-based e-commerce site that will sell digital products only—think downloadable files delivered instantly after checkout. My priority is to set up the store so customers can purchase, pay securely, and receive their download links automatically without extra steps. Here’s what I already decided on: • The site’s sole purpose is e-commerce. • All items are digital, no physical shipping involved. • Downloadable products functionality is required from day one. Your task is to configure WordPress (with WooCommerce or another proven plugin, if you have a better suggestion) so the whole purchase-to-download flow works flawlessly. This includes product and checkout pages, secure file delivery, licence or access control if needed, and the usual polish—responsive layout, basic SEO settings, and speed optimisation. Please let me know: • Which plugin stack you’d use and why. • Any past examples of digital download stores you’ve built. • Estimated time frame to get the first version live. Once finished, I should be able to add new digital products myself and watch orders roll in without touching code.
