5. FAQs and Troubleshooting

Q: How can customers access their download links?
A: Customers can download their files directly from their "My Account" section under "Orders" once the link is activated.

Q: How can I automate the activation of download links?
A: Set the Download Activation Type to When Order is Paid in the product variant settings. This automatically enables the download link upon payment.

Q: What if the digital delivery email doesn’t send?
A: Ensure that the "Collect Digital Delivery Email" option is enabled and the "Digital Delivery Output Ready" template is active with the required tokens. Check the message queue to verify email activity.

Q: Can I test the setup without placing an order?
A: Yes, use the Send Test Email feature in the email template editor to ensure the email is configured correctly.

Q: Can I upload multiple files for a single product?
A: No, the downloadable product option currently supports a single file or URL per product variant. To deliver multiple files, consider bundling them into a ZIP archive.

Q: I'm not receiving the digital download email, what could be wrong?
A: At the time of writing this article, the task responsible for sending digital download emails runs once per hour, so you may not see the email being queued or sent immediately. This frequency is under review and may change in the future.
