Upload e-book file
When you create an e-book product, you can add the files directly at your product editing page.
To add a file to your e-book product in CopeCart, create a new e-book product or open the edit mode in your existing product and proceed to the 'Download Product' section.
Activate the "Upload product" slider to enable the upload. Now select the file that will be unlocked for your customers to download after purchasing an e-book and set the restrictions for the download.
Buyers receive an email with a download link for the e-book immediately after purchase. This link remains active for the number of days and downloads you specified when you uploaded your file.
To notice
You can upload one file per product.
If you want to upload multiple files, compress them into a ZIP file and upload them.
The maximum file size is 5 GB.
Customers will get access to the file after successful completion of the order, even if the payment status is pending.
