Overview

Some merchants sell digital content that requires downloading. These can take many forms such as; pdf, mp3, mp4, .doc, etc. In UltraCart you can setup your account to automatically provide a way for your customers to download them from you. You will need to assign the document(s) to each item that they correspond to in UltraCart. Since they are all uploaded in the digital library you only need to upload it one time there to use it in multiple items.
