What it does:
Auto-delivers digital files (PDFs, videos, ebooks, courses) after purchase Built-in fraud protection that holds suspicious orders for review (a common problem with digital products is they get delivered to the fraudulent customer before the actual payment fails) No bandwidth limits even on the free plan Time limits, download counts, and IP restrictions to protect content Works with Shopify's native checkout and customer accounts
What makes it different:
After trying dozens of digital download apps, most were either too complex or had non existent support. I focused on making setup as simple as it can be and providing real human support. The free plan is actually useful (1.5GB storage, unlimited bandwidth) - not just a trial. The fraud protection is a major benefit for stores. Almost every one of my competitors delivers digital files after product purchase but before the purchase has reached the end of the payment lifecycle. A growing number of people are aware of this and are using fake CCs to get whatever digital content for free. Alva Digital Downloads solves this problem, keeping your content secure until the payment has fully completed.
