Hello all,

When a customer purchases a meditation, rather than send them the file to download, I’d like to send them a link to listen to the meditation. How can I add a unique listen link for each product? I believe this needs Liquid code knowledge to customise each email which I have no idea how to do or I am open to suggestions for a better way for a seamless audio experience that does not require file download. Thanks so much for any advice.

Hi @TinaHV . Welcome to the Shopify Community.

I love your link idea! And I think you can accomplish your goal by using an app from the Shopify App Store. I found this LinkIT app specifically that looks like it can send a link instead of a download to your customers. It also has a free trial so you can test it before you commit.

If that app isn’t something you want to go with, you could post this question in our Partners and Developers forum, there are a lot more code savvy people that browse that forum.

You can also look at hiring a Shopify Partner that could code this for you. Check out our Partners Directory here.

Thank you! I have written to support so many times and spent many hours trying to find a solution to this! I am incredibly grateful and also frustrated that I wasn’t directed to this solution sooner. Very much appreciate this Kitana and will write here from now on. Thank you!
