Woo Custom Deliverable Products Addon

A WooCommerce extension that enables store administrators to upload and deliver custom digital files to customers after an order is completed.

Description

This plugin provides a simple yet powerful solution for stores that need to attach and deliver custom files on a per-order basis. Unlike standard WooCommerce downloadable products, which are tied to a specific product, this plugin allows you to upload files directly to an individual order.

This is ideal for businesses that provide personalized services or custom products, such as:

• Design services: Delivering custom logos, graphics, or design mockups.
• Consulting: Providing personalized reports, documents, or presentations.
• Custom development: Sending software patches, code snippets, or plugins.
• Personalized goods: Attaching a digital certificate of authenticity or a custom thank-you note.

Once an order is marked as "Completed," the customer can access and download their files from the standard "Downloads" section of their "My Account" page.

Features

• Per-Order File Uploads: Attach one or more files directly to any WooCommerce order.
• Seamless Admin UI: A new "Deliverable Files" section is added directly to the WooCommerce order details page for easy management.
• Secure File Storage: Files are stored in WooCommerce's secure download directory.
• Download Controls: For each file, you can set:
  • A custom File Name for the customer.
  • A Download Limit to control how many times a customer can download the file.
  • A Download Expiry (in days) after which the link will no longer work.
• Customer-Friendly Access: Customers find their files in the familiar "My Account" > "Downloads" section alongside any other downloadable products.
• HPOS Compatible: Works with both the classic post-based and modern High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) WooCommerce setups.
