Files are uploaded in advance and sent automatically after purchase.
Perfect for: 📚 eBooks (with or without watermark) 🎓 Online courses & video lessons 🧩 Software & templates (Notion, Canva, Photoshop, etc.) 🎵 Music & sound effects 🖼️ Stock images & graphics
Best for: Instant downloads and fully automated delivery. Once a customer buys, we immediately send them the file—no manual work needed. This is the go-to option if your files are ready to go at the time of purchase.

Best for: Made-to-order or one-of-a-kind products. This option allows you to send a unique file to each customer after it's created—ideal for anything personalized or that requires manual work.
🧩How to create a Custom Digital ProductUpload your file now, and let the system send it on a future date selected by the customer.
Perfect for: 📘 Releasing eBooks or online courses at a set date 🎶 Launching a music album on release day 🎬 Releasing pre-recorded content at a specific time 🕒 Time-sensitive pre-orders
Best for: Timed releases and digital pre-orders. Customers choose their delivery date, and the file is sent automatically on that date. After the scheduled delivery passes, you can let the product become a standard digital download—or mark it as sold out.
