Digital Library

Main Menu → Items → Item Management → Edit Item → Digital Delivery → Manage Available Files

The digital library is where you store all the files that will be available for download by your customers when they purchase digital items. UltraCart uses the concept of a digital library so that you can upload a file one time and then have it associated with many different items. For instance you may have a song available as a single track item or as an album item.

Files (section)

The files section of the digital library contains all your uploaded digital files for configuration to your items for sale. Items listed here will appear within the "Available files" field in the "Digital Delivery" tab of the Item Editor.

The files section will display the file name of each uploaded file, the description of the file (optional) and the size of the file. There will also be a "edit" button and "delete" button.

Upload Options (Section)

Upload form

Your choice of upload will be determined in part by the types of digital download file you have. If your files are relatively small in size, the the two upload options on this page will be sufficient:

The upload tool will display a progress bar to indicate the files is being uploaded, followed by a short processing period before the file is displayed in the File Section.


Edit Digital Item

Clicking the edit button will display the "Edit Digital Item" page:



The "Edit Digital Item" page provides the following sections:

SectionPurpose
Edit Digital Item

(1) Option to upload a replacement file & (2) option to update or edit the file optional description.

Replace File Error

Error: You can not upload a file that is a duplicate of another file. Even if the filename is different.
Your upload conflicted with file: XXXX

Click Wrap Agreement

A click wrap agreement is a popup agreement displayed to the user when they click on the first file to download. A click wrap agreement is useful to display an end user license agreement that the customer must agree to before downloading the software. The click wrap agreement appears after the placement of the order (this is different than the "Checkout terms") which is displayed when the customer initially clicks the download link for their purchase.

Clicking the "I agree" button allows triggers the download, while clicking "I disagree" returns the customer to the previous digital download link page without triggering the download.

"Store Wide Click Wrap Agreement (Optional)"  Section

The last section of the Digital Library is the configuration field for a "Store Wide 'Click Wrap Agreement' ", which would apply to all digital download items. This is an optional field and there is a similar item level "Click Wrap Agreement" configuration field. 

If a click wrap agreement is present on both levels (store wide and item levels) then both agreements will be displayed together, with the store wide agreement text appearing first, followed by the item level agreement.
