Pre-requisites

  1. Add a digital collection or single digital file to the GrowthZone Cloud from the back office. See Working with Documents in the Cloud for instructions.
  2. Create a Goods/Services item, of type Digital Product. See Setup Goods/Services for instructions.

    • Click the Select File/Folder button to choose your file/folder.

  4. (Optional) Select a specific Membership Type that is allowed to purchase this download. If none selected, this will be available to all purchasers. NOTE: All visitors to the store will be able to view the item, but the store item can only be added to the cart after they have logged in.
  5. (Optional) Enter an Expiration Date for the files. When the expiration date is reached, the files will no longer be available to those who have purchased the digital download. This does NOT remove the item from your store. To remove an item, de-activate the product from the back-office.
How Digital Downloads Works

  • Customers purchase the digital product from your Store.

One Row.png

NOTE: As of July 2019, to purchase digital downloads, purchasers must have or create a login account with your association. This means the contact MUST exist in your database in order for a login account to be created. If the purchaser exists in your database, he/she will be given the access level assigned to their membership type (if applicable) or the default access level you have setup for your organization. See Setup User Info Hub Login Settings for further information. In a future software update, a contact record will not need to exist in order to create a login. This will allow the general public to purchase digital downloads.
  • Upon checkout the customer will see an online message about their digital purchase with a link to the Info Hub to access the file(s) and instructions.
Thank you for Order.jpg
  • Within the Info Hub, a left-hand navigation called Digital Downloads will be displayed.
