Hi,
I would like to create digital products automatically via Make.com (integromat) and upload a PDF file for the digital product at the same time. Since the PDF document is created from scratch each time through the Make automation, it must be uploaded again for each product.
Does anyone know how to do this with Make or other providers like Zapier?
There may be another option, because all I need is that the customer actually gets the PDF file.
Directly uploading files to Shopify via Make.com has limitations. Maybe utilize external storage solutions and Shopify’s metafields to associate PDFs with products. Use a module in Make.com to create your PDF document. Upload the generated PDF to a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3 and obtain the shareable link to the uploaded PDF.
Use Make.com’s Shopify App to create a new product. Ensure you set the product as a digital product by unchecking the “This is a physical product” option. Utilize Shopify’s metafields to store the PDF download link. Use the “Update a Metafield” action in Make.com to add a metafield to the product containing the PDF link. Customize your store’s theme to display the download link from the metafield on the product page or in the customer’s account section after purchase.
Or use a Zapier integration or webhook to generate your PDF document. Upload the PDF to a cloud storage service and obtain the shareable link. Use Zapier’s Shopify integration to create a new product, ensuring it’s marked as a digital product. Use Shopify’s metafields to store the PDF link. Utilize Zapier’s “Update a Metafield” action to associate the PDF link with the product. Customize your store to display the download link from the metafield to customers post-purchase.
Or simply use Shopify’s Digital Downloads app. While this app doesn’t have a direct integration with Make.com or Zapier, you can manually upload the PDF files to products after they’re created.
