Digital ebook downloads?

[SDW]

AM I capable of using Square for digital eBook downloads?

Hi @SDW.  While you can sell digital items, the actual digital files themselves have to be fulfilled by you currently — either by email, or access to an online repository that you send via email, or something similar.  I know that there have been requests to allow sellers to upload the actual e-items and attach them to our Square items for automatic download after payment, but I’ve not seen any announcements of beta tests or anything that indicates it is coming soon.

@SDW I'd invite you to take a look at Bitship. Our app integrates with your Square account in a couple of clicks and let's you easily automate delivering digital files to your customers within seconds of purchase.

Thanks for posting this, @Bitship.  That looks like a product I’ll be adding to my toolbox to recommend to sellers looking for this functionality.  I wish you had it listed in the Square App Store.  Do you plan to do that?  That’s usually where we send folks looking for solutions from third-party vendors?
