Let’s have a look at the Downloads options

The “Downloads” section on the WordPress Dashboard lets you view all the information about your digital products, including how many products you have and their details in a table view. The information displayed includes the product name, category, tag, price, net sales, revenue, and date.

However, the table will be empty if you haven’t added any products yet.

Add Download Category

Go to Downloads > Categories

By default, it is showing blank as no categories have been created yet.

Provide Name, Slug, Parent Digital Category, Description, and optional Image for the category. Once all the information is provided, click the “Add New Download Category” button.

Once you have added the category, you can proceed to the next step in the process. This could include adding product details, pricing, and images.

Let’s add Tags for Easy Digital Downloads

This section allows you to add tags for downloadable products. You can add a name, slug, description, and feature Image for each tag. Then click on the Add New Download Tag button to add the tag.

On the right side of the tags page, this list shows all the tags that you have created and allows you to view and manage them easily.

Creating Products (Digital Downloads / Services )

To begin creating a product, click the Downloads link in the left column of the WordPress dashboard. On the resulting page, you’ll see an Add New button at the top of the page.

Clicking Add New will take you to a page where you can fill in information about your product.

On this page, the options available include details such as product name, description, price range, file upload, and lots more.
