How can I offer physical and digital books as one product on Wix?

Technical Q&A
1

Hi there,

I currently run a wix based store that is potentially making a transfer through to a Shopify backend and have a question.

We sell physical and Electronic books, but what the customer to be able to chose at the checkout what they want e.g.

Ebook - Instant Digital Delivery (this bit we have working)

Physical Book - Fulfilled by Lulu Xpress

Both - Fulfilled by both

How can we have this ability with differing price for each combination, with out having the ebook and physical book as separate products?

Thanks in advance

Hi, @TheFootballCoac !

Thank you for your question, this is definitely possible. I’d recommend creating a single product with different variants that represent Ebook, Physical book, and Both. You can attach digital files at the variant level using Shopify’s Digital Downloads app. You’ll also be able to adjust pricing at the variant level. Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions!

Warm regards!

Hi,

Oliver made a great point (with the variants) and that might be viable for your situation.

However, scaling that to fulfill large volumes of digital orders - especially for selling ebooks on Shopify - is not simple and the default Shopify digital downloads app might not be good enough for you.

I’d recommend taking stock of the current digital download apps in the space to make sure you’re ready for the volume coming your way.

If you’re just looking to find a better digital downloads app, then I’d recommend taking a full deep dive into this article here: https://shopifysoftwaresolutions.com/best-digital-downloads-apps-for-shopify-merchants/

If you’re having problems selling ebooks in particular on Shopify, I’d recommend reading this instead: https://shopifysoftwaresolutions.com/selling-books-on-shopify/

All the luck to you and your store!
