Easy Digital Downloads Simple Shipping
Although Easy Digital Downloads was designed to be used solely for the transaction of digital goods, there are those who find the plugin to be so useful that they want to also employ it for the transaction of tangible goods. For this reason, we decided to build the Simple Shipping extension for Easy Digital Downloads. This extension brings some simple shipping features to the platform.
This extension is primarily intended for those individuals who sell mostly digital products (as EDD is designed to do), but also offer some tangible products on their website. These physical products could include DVD versions of your video downloads or CDs of your downloadable audio files, for example. You could even sell t-shirts as a physical extension of your digital business.
During the checkout process, you will be able to quickly collect shipping information from your customers by using this extension. Additionally, you will be able to establish shipping rates for both domestic and international orders, and you will be able to mark payments as being shipped or not shipped.
Shipping can be enabled on a per-product basis, and for products with multiple price choices, it can even be enabled on a per-price basis.
The Downloads Reports Export interface now includes a new option that allows users to export all unshipped orders, which will make the process of shipping orders even simpler.
