Easy Digital Downloads Fields - Form Extension for Digital Products

Easy Digital Downloads Fields is an extension designed to enhance product-related fields and the purchasing process in Easy Digital Downloads-based stores. The plugin allows you to create custom fields on download pages, in the shopping cart, and during checkout, allowing you to collect essential information, personalize orders, and better tailor your offerings to your customers' needs.

Key Features of Easy Digital Downloads Fields

• Creating any fields: text, textarea, select, multiple choice (checkbox), radio, date, file upload and hidden fields.
• Field support at various levels: fields assigned to a single product (download), global fields for the purchase process, fields visible only on the checkout page, and profile fields for registered customers.
• Validation and required fields: set required fields, data formats, and custom validation rules to ensure the information collected is complete and correct.
• Conditional display logic: Fields appear or hide depending on the selected values of other fields, allowing you to create clean and dynamic forms.
• Integration with the ordering system: data from the fields is transferred to the order and is visible in the administration panel, in transaction details and in purchase confirmation emails.
• Data export capability: collected information can be exported to CSV/Excel files for easier analysis and further processing.
• Shortcodes and templates: Fields can be inserted anywhere using shortcodes or modified in theme templates for full control over appearance.
• Compatibility: The project is designed to work with other extensions in the Easy Digital Downloads ecosystem, allowing for additional features to be implemented without conflict.

Benefits and applications

Easy Digital Downloads Fields facilitates the collection of specific information required to fulfill digital orders. The store administrator can define fields required for invoicing (e.g., Tax Identification Number, address), fields for product personalization (e.g., dedications, names for graphics), and fields required for licensing and software activation. File uploads allow for the acceptance of additional materials from customers, which is useful for selling graphic designs, training courses, or custom content.

• Better matching of the order to the customer's expectations through product configuration fields.
• Reducing the number of administrative inquiries by collecting complete information at the time of purchase.
• Possibility to prepare individualized files for download or personalized content after purchase.
• Easier billing and automated document generation thanks to invoice and contact fields.

Example usage scenarios

• Sales of graphic templates: the customer selects a product variant and sends a short brief in the textarea field or attaches a logo using the file field.
• Online Course Distribution: A checkbox allows you to gather information about your preferred learning path, and a date field specifies when the course will start.
• Software Licensing: Additional fields collect the data necessary to generate a license key and associate it with the customer account.
• Digital Services Store: The product configuration option allows you to set the scope of the service, delivery date and additional instructions without the need for subsequent communication.

Easy Digital Downloads Fields is a tool for digital stores that require a flexible data collection mechanism and personalized shopping experience. Thanks to its intuitive interface, creating and managing fields doesn't require advanced coding skills, while extensive validation and conditional logic options keep forms simple while still capturing all the necessary information.
