According to Forbes, “Over the past few years, projections for the global e-learning market have been overwhelmingly positive with the e-learning market having expanded significantly recently.” says an article from May 25, 2022.
Since e-learning is an excellent opportunity at this moment, you might be interested in selling digital products. Even though Shopify is a platform focused on selling physical products, you can harvest the platform’s benefits to sell your digital goods, courses, and programs.
So let’s see how you can sell your digital products on Shopify easily.
Let’s start by mentioning that you’ll need the Digital Downloads app that you’ll find in Shopify’s app store. With this app, you can upload files like pdfs, manuals, songs, videos, and art. Once customers purchase the digital product of their choosing, they’ll receive an email to download the file.
Before you can start selling, you’ll have to create a product. You can do this by going to:
It’s important to consider how the product will be delivered. For example, you might want to deliver it immediately if your product contains only digital products. But if you have a mix of digital and physical products, then you’ll want to prepare your order for mail, first.
You can adjust your fulfillment settings by clicking a product from the Digital Downloads app dashboard. A few things to consider first, though:
You can change this by going to:
If you want to use Manual fulfillment because the product contains a physical component, but you also want to send the digital component to the customer immediately after purchase, then you can send the customer a manual download link.
You can do this by going to:
You can review your digital files and set a download limit on the Digital Downloads app page. A download limit controls the number of times that a customer can download a digital product. To allow unlimited downloads, enter 0 as the download limit. This is the default setting.
You can change this by going to:

Now that you own a Shopify store, you might have noticed that there are some functionalities missing from your theme, and that Shopify’s system isn’t covering. That’s because each business has its own particular necessities, and those are simply too wide to be fully covered by Shopify, specifically when each industry is growing and expanding to reach new and more complex needs.
Here’s where apps come in handy. Shopify has made available an app store that works specifically for every Shopify store created. In this place, you’ll find a wide range of apps to cover most of your particular needs, with a huge range of apps by category that will match your budget and expectations.
