Is there a way of giving a direct download in exchange for name and email, without to go through the checkout? Currently they are listed as 0 usd product.
It annoys me too much that there is no way of filtering out the free ones, so the app notifications and the site notifications are flodded with useless 0 usd transactions and I dont see the big picture.
I am using the free downloads idea to drive traffic to the site, but I want to still gather the emails of everyone in the shopify to be able to reach them.
I didnt find any plugins and I dont have other smart ideas how to do it. If it needs to be programmed, Im willing to pay.
It says its a product editor. How does it help?
If you’re collecting emails, you will be best using klaviyo or another email provider to collect these and then add a flow to give them the download.
@warudokiruhya I run a digital products app on Shopify. Definitely agree with @KieranDibor that you should do this in your email flow on Klaviyo/Shopify email + forms etc. Digital downloads & digital products apps work off of orders on your store, and definitely not worth it if you’re setting up lead magnets like free downloads.
Klaviyo seems really expensive. Shopify is terrible. Every single normal function, that is part of gumroad for free for example, costs money. You need endless extra apps and it adds on more and more and more.
It’s more that Shopify is not designed from the ground up for digital downloads/products. And I get that there’s a lot of apps, but it also means that you can do pretty much anything on Shopify with a combination of them.
For your case, I think you can do something like this -
- Use Shopify Forms to collect their email and other details.
- Use Shopify Flow or Email to send them a download immediately after.
This shouldn’t be expensive; so I highly recommend exploring it.
