Thanks for the info! Please forgive my ignorance regarding this topic. My question is
about multiple digital downloads for sale. Do I need to create a separate page for each digital option I have to sell?
Hi Everett, no you can upload multiple files to each product page. Buyers will then get an option of what to download when they purchase. I hope this helps!
Hi and thanks for the information. Unfortunately I do not use GoDaddy GoCentral website builder but my own sites using WordPress and Joomla.
The page script provided of my product does not work on WordPress. Maybe you should post a blog article on how to do this ?
Thank you for your help,
Victor.
