Things to be aware of

  • Only one digital file per Product with a maximum 100Mb file size

  • Once someone buys a digital product they are shown a page that has a download link. They also receive this download link in their email. This link is good for 60 days and then it expires

  • If you, the Seller deletes the digital product from your store, the link is still good for 60 days from purchase

  • However, if you, the Seller cancels the specific order for the link purchase, the link will be expired immediately.
