I saw in the landing page that in round 2 “Sell digital and downloadable products” will be possible.
Any idea when round 2 approx. is? Trying to set up a new store and wondering if it’s worth to wait.
Alternatively, any workaround? Would it work if I treat it as a physical product where I gather the payment and manually send the goodie over via email? (Besides the delay on replying) For this I’m assuming I can customize the text in the email to let them know I’ll get back to them in 24h I guess.
I haven’t looked yet, but PERHAPS you could set up a CMS Collection of uploaded PDF files and then use Variable Tags in your eCommerce emails to populate links for download.
Alternatively, a link out to other file formats via Dropbox could work too.
Oh dang, I just assumed that you could sell digital products too. I was planning to use Webflow’s ecommerce platform to launch a digital product in the coming weeks, a no-go is no bueno!
I have the same question! Would love a timeline on this. Been thinking of starting a site with Webflow, but am holding back for digital/downloadable products.
Hi all.
Foxy allows you to sell digital products (and any other type of product) in Webflow with no programming experience required: Webflow | Foxy.io + Digital Products | Foxy.io
Feel free to reach out and we can help you get started, hop on on a phone/Skype call, or anything else.
I too am keen to know when this might happen. Be really good to have some Webflow staff member give us an approximate date just so I can potential clients and sell as an additional service.
@sarahfrison I am looking to sell digital products through Webflow, but the e-commerce feature doesn’t actually allow that yet, only physical products. I was asking when that “coming soon” (previously it said “round 2”) will happen since it’s been quite a while since the release already
whoops @saravssantiago. I meant to reply to the last person who commented on your post. Their comment was pretty vague. I used the wrong reply button.
For what it’s worth, I’m using Ejunkie to sell digital downloads. Nothing against Foxy! They work great as well but I needed VAT options Foxy doesn’t have yet. It’s super easy to set up and only costs $5 a month.
The product pages aren’t live yet so I can’t say anything about user experience etc with Ejunkie. Other than that, very .
I was wondering if there might be an option to set up an automated email respond (including a download link) to the customer after receiving an “order received” mail?
Until Webflow implements this, could you not utilise zapier and connect ecommerce emails with mailchimp to auto-send emails containing download links? I personally haven’t tried it but it seems viable.
Yep, but in order to do that, we’re adding 2 more subscriptions to the project (or at least 1 since Zapier’s free version is super limited) and complexity that shouldn’t be needed. If Webflow could just create a digital download feature where we can input the donwloadable and have it send links out, it would just be solved
Any news on this? I too am interested in this as a Webflow option. I know there are one million ways to do this with third party services. Just interested in Webflow here! Thanks!
