Order history page for customers who can redownload digital files they purchased

Topic summary

Enabling an order history page feature where customers can re-download previously purchased digital files in a Shopify store.

  • Original request: Merchant using Shopify’s Digital Downloads (DD) app wants customers to re-download purchases from their account on the website.

Status:

  • No confirmed solution or step-by-step setup shared.

Unresolved questions:

  • Exact setup steps within Sky Pilot (or other apps) to surface re-download links on the customer account/order history page.

I am trying to get my shopify store to allow customers to redownload their purchases on their account on my website. I’ve seen this done on other websites. I use the app digital downloads and it is all setup. Does anybody know how to do this?

Hi Francisco,

I’m Alessandro, manager for Sky Pilot, an alternative to Shopify’s Digital Downloads.

As far as I know, DD does not allow this customisation, because I’ve seen many merchants migrate from DD to Sky Pilot, because we offer this (also in the free plan!)

Let me know if you need anything else!

Alessandro
