With Fourthwall, selling a digital product is easy! You can sell your digital product as a standalone or as part of a bundle with a physical product.
How to create a digital product
First, go to your Products tab within your Fourthwall shop, and in the top right corner, click on "Create new product." You will see a pop-up like the image below with various product options, and you want to click on "sell digital product."
After you click on "Sell digital product," it will take you to the digital product creation page, which will walk you through all the various information and details for your digital product.
Adding digital product details
Set product name and description
First is adding information like product name, a product description (optional), and additional sections if you want to add any. In the optional product description, we recommend explaining more about what is in the digital product for example, if it's a digital CD, include the tracklist in the description. This description will help the supporters understand what they are actually getting and set the right expectations.
Add digital file
The next step is adding the digital file you want your supporters to get when they purchase this product. If you have multiple files as part of this digital product, we recommend saving them as a zip file and uploading the compressed file as the digital product.
Set selling price
Set the price you want to sell this digital product.
Add photos
Upload photos of your product by clicking on the “Drop or browse” button. Once they are uploaded, you can drag and drop them to sort the display order. For digital products, you can add an awesome graph showing what it is or an art cover for it.
Set inventory
The “In stock” option is set to unlimited by default. If the item has limited stock our you want to limit availability to a specific quantity, click “Unlimited” to bring up the quantity window, un-check “Make unlimited,” and adjust to your new quantity.
Check the “Mark as sold out” box if you want to keep showing the product but show it as sold out. You can do this to create a bit of FOMO for future products!
Set it live!
The last step in the process is making your product live! By default, products are hidden, so you can make sure to keep in-progress listings secret. When your masterpiece is ready for the world, simply click the yellow “Hidden” button in the top right corner, select “Public” and then click “Save”!
