WooCommerce Subscription Downloads 1.4.1

WooCommerce Subscription Downloads is a powerful official extension that bridges the gap between individual products and subscription services. It allows you to grant active subscribers access to your store's entire library of downloadable products (or specific ones) without them having to purchase each file individually.

## Core Functionality

Instead of selling a specific file, you sell a Subscription Product. Once a user has an active subscription, any individual downloadable product you have "linked" to that subscription becomes free for them to download directly from their "My Account" area.

Universal Access: Ideal for digital "resource libraries" (e.g., stock photos, font collections, or PDF guides).

Dual-Model Selling: You can keep selling files individually to one-time customers while simultaneously offering them as "included" for subscribers.

Automatic Permissions: Access is revoked immediately if the subscription is canceled or expires.

### Key Features

Drip Content Support: You can configure the settings so that existing subscribers only get access to new files after their next successful renewal payment (preventing "hit and run" downloads).

Bulk Linking: You can link multiple existing products to a single subscription tier with a few clicks.

Subscriber-Only View: Download links appear automatically in the "Downloads" tab of the user’s My Account page for as long as they are paying.

MetForm/Elementor Compatible: While it works in the backend, you can use Elementor to design custom "Library" pages that check for subscription status before showing download buttons.

### How to Set It Up

Requirements: You must have the core WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin installed and active.

Create a Subscription: Set up a "Simple Subscription" (e.g., $10/month).

Link Products: Go to the "Product Data" panel of your individual downloadable products. You will see a new Subscriptions field.

Assign: Search for the name of your Subscription Product and select it.

Save: Once published, anyone with that active subscription will now have permission to download that file.

### Use Case Example: "The Design Club"

Imagine you sell Photoshop brushes for $5 each. You can create a "Gold Membership" subscription for $15/month. Using this extension, you link all 100+ brush sets to the Gold Membership.

One-time buyer: Pays $5 for one set.

Subscriber: Pays $15/month and gets all 100+ sets, plus any new ones you add next week.

Would you like me to explain how "Drip Content" works with this extension, or do you need help troubleshooting why download links aren't appearing for your users?
