At times, you may want to sell a digital product such as an image, audio file, or e-book. This can be easily accomplished in OpenCart. To offer a downloadable product, you'll first have to upload the file within OpenCart and then you'll need to link the file to a product. 

Uploading Your Digital Product

  1. Log into your OpenCart Dashboard
  2. Go to Catalog > Downloads
  3. Click “Insert” in the upper right corner
  4. opencart_digital_1

  5. Fill in the fields with a download name, Select the file to upload on your local computer, and type in the number of downloads allowed per user purchase
  6. opencart_digital_2

  7. Click “Save

Linking the download file to a product

  1. Log into your OpenCart Dashboard
  2. Go to Products
  3. Click “Insert” to create a new product or click “Edit” next to an existing product
  4. Click on the “links” tab
  5. Scroll towards the bottom of the page, go to the “Downloads” section and select the file you want to be made available on this product
  6. opencart_digital_3

  7. While still editing this product, click on the “Data” tab and scroll down to the section called “Weight”. Enter a weight of “0” (zero) in the field. This tells OpenCart it is a downloadable product
  8. Click on “Save” in the upper right corner
