Logs every digital download and reports counts, unique customers and daily trends.
Listens to the core ambikly_download_served action and inserts a row into its own ambikly_download_log table for every file served: order, customer and product ids, file name, byte count, a SHA-256 hash of the IP salted with AUTH_SALT, a truncated user agent and a site-local timestamp. GET /ambikly-pro/v1/download-analytics, readable by anyone with the view-store capability, returns the top 100 files by download count with unique customers, plus a per-day series for the requested date range, defaulting to the last 30 days. A daily WP-Cron job deletes rows older than the retention setting, and uninstalling clears the schedule.
Built on the same Addon SDK as every other Pro add-on — extend it instead of replacing it.

The per-file report shows counts and unique customers, revealing modules that are downloaded once and never revisited, which guides where to improve.
A stock-asset store notices one file with far more downloads than unique customers. That ratio in the report prompts a check of the order behind it, and pairs well with PDF Stamping so any copy that surfaces can be traced.
A store releasing a large software bundle watches the daily series in the weeks after launch. The curve shows when download traffic settles, informing hosting and CDN decisions with real numbers rather than guesses about demand.
Ambikly → Add-ons → Download Analytics → toggle on. Pro must be active; nothing else to install.
Open its settings panel and set: retention in days (default 365; 0 keeps rows forever).
The storefront surfaces, admin screens and settings it adds are listed under “Where it shows up” above; nothing needs placing by hand unless a shortcode is named there.
Disable the add-on from the same screen. Its settings and data stay in place, and a lapsed license pauses it the same way — the store keeps running.
Expiring, tokenized download links with per-customer limits ship free. Add buyer-stamped PDFs and per-file analytics with Pro, and sell files alongside physical goods and subscriptions in one checkout.
Only ids that already exist in your orders table, the file name, a truncated user-agent string and a SHA-256 hash of the IP address salted with your site's AUTH_SALT. The raw IP is never written, so a log row cannot be traced back to an address.
For the number of days in the Retention setting, 365 by default. A WP-Cron event runs daily and deletes older rows. Setting retention to 0 disables pruning and keeps every row until you clear the table yourself.
Anyone with the ambikly_view_store capability or manage_options, which covers Administrators, Store Managers and the Support Agent role. The endpoint is read-only; nothing in the add-on lets a request modify or delete log rows.
Yes. The report groups the log by product and file name, returning the download count and distinct customers for the top 100 files in the date range, sorted by downloads. A second series gives daily totals for charting trends.
