Our key features

Built for selling digital products easily, securely and natively with Shopify

01.

Sell & Deliver

  • Instant multi-channel delivery
    Every purchase can be delivered in three places: a branded email, a Download button on Thank you page, and a Download button inside the customer's order history. This means customers always know where to get their files—even if they lose an email.
  • Unlimited products and variants
    Create unlimited digital products and attach the right file to each product or variant. If a file changes post‑purchase, simply upload the new file & Filemonk updates the order, so buyers always receive the correct digital download.
  • Personalized files
    Sell custom digital products like certificates, edited images, or bespoke documents. Upload the per‑order file and Filemonk automatically notifies the buyer when it’s ready
  • License keys
    Sell software, apps, or plugins by linking orders to licence keys. Filemonk can pick keys from a pool you share with the app, or it can auto-generate keys too.

Protect & Control

  • PDF watermarking
    Add a visible watermark or stamp to your PDFs so your brand appears on every page. This discourages forwarding and helps protect the value of your digital products.
  • Download limits and expiry
    Set a maximum number of downloads or a time window (for example, seven days). Filemonk enforces your rules automatically and removes access when an order is refunded.
  • Control access
    Automatically block access to downloads on high‑risk orders. Use granular controls to disable downloads for a specific product or for a specific order.

    Combined with automatic access removal on refunds, Filemonk keeps your digital downloads protected without adding work.
03.

Brand & Scale

  • Full brand control
    Send emails from your own domain and fully customize the download experience. Use colors, typography, content blocks, and messages in both the email and the download page—so every download feel native to your brand.
  • Google Drive and Dropbox
    Connect external storage to serve large files reliably. Keep managing your assets where they live while Filemonk handles secure delivery and tracking.
  • Large‑file plans
    Choose the storage tier that fits your catalog—from 250 MB to 1 TB—so you can keep adding new digital products without changing apps.
  • Update past buyers
    When you ship a new version, push a notification to previous customers so they can download the latest file. It’s an easy way to deliver ongoing value and encourage repeat purchases.
  • Pre-orders for digital products
    Launch new digital products easily with Filemonk. Set a go-live date for a product and Filemonk automatically unlocks downloads at the scheduled time.

Soccer Time!

The app works seamlessly. Customer service is some of the best I have received. I can't wait to get more products in store to use with this app. If you have tried others and son't like them, look no further. I couldn't be more happy with the integration.

Fantasy Sports Advice Network

Wow, thank you Filemonk for making this migration seamless. I had been using another app for 9 years but with changes on their end I needed to find another option. I compared a lot of apps and Filemonk had all the features I needed (unlimited orders, no bandwidth limits, ability to update files and email your customers etc). The interface is very easy to navigate, their support team are incredibly helpful and quick to respond. Very happy with this decision and it was a lot easier to migrate than I thought it would be.

Elle Fit Active

Tons of customization options for customer views, emails, orders, etc; easy bulk importing of digital files and bulk attachment to products; quick responsiveness by team - really excellent app!

American Composers Alliance

We love filemonk and couldn't run our business without it! And customer service is quick and helpful!

Just Add Drums

I have never done digital sales before and I have had a wonderful first time experience with the help of Sneha from the Filemonk team. The customer service is great. They answer fast and are very friendly and professional. And no matter how many questions I asked she answered them happily. Thank you so much!

The Nordic Way

I've tried other digital product apps for Shopify, but this one is my favorite. The interface is decently easy to use, and I've had no issues with any of its features. Seems to be doing exactly what it says it'll do. Support is also very responsive and helpful.

mwfoodphotography

Filemonk is the perfect app for selling digital files! It is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. The customer service is great, and Kartik is very kind and responds quickly to any inquiries I have.

The Creative Bix

I would highly recommend! It's been a very simple and easy app to understand and implement into my website. I've been able to get immediate feedback for any issues that popped up, their support team is extremely helpful! I've had great support from Nagaraj and Sandesh specifically. Thank you!

Amber Collective

Wow! Filemonk is the app that I've been looking for to sell and download my digital files. I tried many, but the help I received (my tech knowledge is just ok) to get things up and running was phenomenal. Nagaraj, who I worked with, understood all the Shopify nuances helped me greatly. I so appreciate the support and the quick response times when I asked questions. Get. This. App.

Purple Tie Publishing

This app is incredibly easy to use! From the moment I downloaded it, the setup was straightforward and hassle-free. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it simple to share files with just a few clicks. One of the standout features is how effortlessly it handles large files. Overall, it's a fantastic tool that I highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly file-sharing solution!

Thirsty Meeples

I'm just starting out with digital downloads from my store and I have to say, Filemonk is easy to set up and delivers a great product to my customers. It's no hassle, easy to use, and good looking from the customer side. Their free subscription is great for getting started and I imagine I will be upgrading soon because I'll be getting a lot more traffic with this app.

Jan Johnston Artworks

This app has been great and really easy to set up! I love all the features and customizations, like watermarking my files, adding download buttons and links where I want them, etc. The support is also great! They are really friendly and I've received help really quickly, taking care of any issues I've come across. They've also shared links to instructions on what they've done so I'm able to learn how to update things on my own in the future as well. Highly recommend!

FAQ

What you need to know about selling digital content

What file types can I sell?

You can sell most common file types for digital downloads, including PDF, ZIP, MP3, WAV, MP4, MOV, EPUB, MOBI, JPG/PNG, and more. If your product is a bundle, upload a ZIP so buyers receive everything in one download.

How do customers download their files?

Can I add a Download button to the customer account (Order History)?

Can I take pre‑orders for digital products and release access later?

Yes. Set a go‑live date and Filemonk automatically unlocks downloads at the scheduled time—no manual fulfillment needed.

Can I send delivery emails from my own domain and customize the download page?

Yes. Use your custom sender domain, then match the download page to your brand with your colors, typography, and content blocks.

Is Filemonk Built for Shopify certified?

Yes. Filemonk meets Shopify’s design and performance standards and integrates cleanly with checkout, orders, and customer accounts.

Can I migrate from another digital downloads app (including Shopify’s Digital Downloads)?

Does the app automatically fulfill digital products?
