Free digital download

[kmalex (Karena Krull)]

Hello,

I’m retiring a site from small commerce to free downloads. What stack or plugin would be easiest to use for this? And any steps to do it would be most appreciated:)

Thank you for your time and help:)

What kind of products/downloads are you offering? Knowing this would make it easier to make a recommendation.

Sorry about that… my ignorance is showing:)

PDF’s and Mp3’s

@kmalex

free downloads.

If they are just free downloads, zip them and put a link(button text link, etc) on the page.

Thanks, Doug:)

So I add the pdf’s to site page and link it to the information page in the site?

How do I zip a file?

Thanks!

How do I zip a file?

On Mac? Right mouse click → create archive? Or use the menu item in finder for it.

Thank Jannis,

I’m guessing I can just put the download link on the description page?

[teefers (Doug Bennett)]

Right click and Choose compress or Archive

You can the put the zipped version into Resources:

Then anything that will open the link dialog (button text link, image, etc) just select resources instead of URL:
