Multivendor Marketplace for Shopify: Digital Products

Configure Shop Type

Firstly, the admin needs to configure the Shop Type as digital or both (digital + normal).

For this, go to Multivendor Marketplace Admin Panel > Configuration > General Configuration:

On the redirected page, change the shop type as digital (if you only want to have digital products on your store) or both (if you want to have both digital & normal products on your store):

Digital Product Form Customization

The admin can configure the product form, i.e., the form for adding a new digital product.

For this, go to Multivendor Marketplace Admin Panel > Products > Product Form Customization:

On this page, mark the fields you want to have and further save the customization.

How to add digital products?

To add a digital product, go to Multivendor Marketplace Seller Panel > Products > Product Listing > Add Product:

Choose the product as digital:

In the Add Digital Product section; upload your digital product file (the file should be less than or equal to 100 MBs), enter the number of accessible days for which your customers can access it.

And enter the number of downloads allowed. (By default, the value is equal to zero which means unlimited access & downloading)

Note – By default, sellers can upload digital product files up to 100 MB. However, if you are on the Pro Plan, the upload limit is increased to 300 MB.

Furthermore, in the Inventory Details section, mark this option if you have variants for this digital product:

Checking this option will open a Variant Details section where you can add variants to this digital product:

Note: Variants can also be added after saving the product and while editing it.

The option to upload digital files to individual variants will only be present once you’ll save this product and edit it.

As explained above, save the product and then you can upload digital files to individual products:

The added product will be listed in the Multivendor Marketplace Seller/Admin Panel > Products > Product Listing.

Add link to your digital products. First, the admin needs to enable the configuration.

• Go to the Configuration menu of the app.
• Visit the Product Configuration.
• Enable the “ALLOW TO ADD LINK FOR DIGITAL PRODUCT” tab.

As soon as the admin enabled this tab, the option starts getting reflected in the admin & seller’s Edit Product sections respectively.

While adding/editing digital products, you can select the DIGITAL PRODUCT AS LINK option. Further add the link of the product and save.

This way the digital product will not take up your multi vendor digital space. It will be downloaded by the customers from the external link provided by you.

Furthermore, to display a downloadable link on the customer’s order page, the admin needs to do some code pasting.

Go to Multivendor Marketplace Admin Panel > Configuration > Instruction for Marketplace:

Here, the admin will have the code that needs to be pasted with all the instructions.

For pasting the codes, go to Shopify Backend > Online Store > Actions >Edit Code:

Search for customer/order.liquid template file, search ‘line_item’ in the code & paste the following code in the <tr> tag as shown in the image below:

id="{{ line_item.id }}" class="wk_lineitem" data-wk_lineitemid="{{ line_item.id }}">
