When you use the download app it gives the customer a link and takes you to a page to click on a download button.
If you are on an iphone, the video will start to stream with no delay.
if you are on a PC, it will download the video file to your downloads folder.
I want to disable to ability for the customer to download the file to PC.
I just want to advertise that you can purchase the video file and stream it on your iphone only.
This is an interesting use case. On desktop browsers the default behavior is always to download, so disabling it completely can be tricky since it’s how the HTTP response is handled. If your main goal is to promote iPhone streaming, maybe the cleaner approach would be to advertise it clearly in your product description and restrict delivery formats, rather than trying to block downloads on PC. Customers usually appreciate transparency over forced technical limits
Shopify’s Digital Downloads app does not support limiting the downloads by device. A third party video hosting service that has DRM or stream restrictions, such Vimeo OTT or Uscreen, is necessary for iPhone-only streaming. Embed After a purchase, embed access tokens so users can stream only and not download.
