Overview

The EDD Download Email Attachments Addon enhances the Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) experience by automatically attaching purchased files to the customer’s receipt email. This feature simplifies the digital product delivery process, ensuring that customers receive their purchased files directly in their inbox along with the standard download links. The addon also provides flexibility, allowing store owners to control this feature on a per-product basis.
