How do I upload and sell audiobook files on shopify?

Hi @Skydancer7,

Thank you for getting in touch. Shopify allows merchants to sell digital products through their online storefront instead of physical ones, which can easily be done through the Digital Downloads app. The app is built and supported by Shopify and can be used for no extra cost.

You can use Digital Downloads to assign digital files to your products, and when a customer makes a purchase on your store, the file is automatically emailed to the customer upon completion of the order. You can also enable a download link to appear on the checkout page so your customers can access your audiobook files as soon as they've paid. You can upload files up to 5GB in size.

Is this your first time selling your audiobook online, or have you done so elsewhere? If you're new to Shopify and/ or ecommerce in general, I'd be happy to offer some pointers on how to get started. I'd recommend checking out our Help Center guide on selling services or digital products as a starting point, as well as our Shopify Blog article on digital products and how best to market them.
