Sell digital downloads on WordPress — securely, from the free core.
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.
Links that expire, limits that hold.
Every purchased file is served through a unique download token, not a public URL. You choose how many downloads a customer gets and how long access lasts; Ambikly logs each download with its IP address.
- Tokenized, expiring download links
- Per-purchase download limits and access expiry
- IP log and last-downloaded timestamp on every file
- Re-download from the customer account while access is valid
Stamp the buyer into the PDF. See which files actually get opened.
PDF Stamping watermarks each purchased PDF with the buyer’s name and order number, so a leaked file points back to its source. Download Analytics turns the download log into counts, unique customers and timestamps per file.
- PDF watermarking with buyer name and order number (Pro)
- Per-file download counts, unique customers and timestamps (Pro)
- License keys and auto-updates for software products (Pro)
- presets-v2.zip — 1,204 downloads · 812 customers
- field-guide.pdf — 388 downloads · stamped per buyer
- Peak: Tuesdays after the newsletter goes out
Files, goods and subscriptions in the same cart.
A download is just a product type. It sits in the same table as a t-shirt or a monthly plan, shares the same customer record, and goes through the same seven payment methods — no second plugin, no second set of orders.
- Mixed carts: ship some items, deliver others instantly
- One customer record and order history
- Coupons, gift cards and store credit apply to files too

Digital downloads on Ambikly — common questions.
Where are my files stored?
On your own server, delivered through tokenized links — Ambikly does not host or proxy your files.
Can customers download a file more than once?
Yes, up to the download limit and access window you set on the product; both are logged per download.
Is there a file size limit?
Only your host’s upload limits apply; Ambikly adds none of its own.
Can I sell downloads and physical products together?
Yes. Both are product types in the same catalog and checkout, so a single order can contain both.
How do I sell software with license keys?
Add the Software Licensing Pro add-on: activation and deactivation API, per-site limits and auto-updates for the products you sell.
