PayDrop Digital Downloads by The Shop Ninjas is designed to deliver purchased files through Shopify, supporting any file type, including ebooks, PDFs, ZIP archives, executables and audio. Its appeal is bringing delivery and download management into one place instead of sending files manually.
Key features
- Attach uploaded files to Shopify products and automatically email download links after payment.
- Set a maximum number of downloads and expiry in days, or leave either unrestricted.
- Give customers a portal showing purchases, download history and link status.
- Resend delivery emails and extend link expiry from the order view.
- Track download activity alongside customer, sales and refund reports.
Pricing and trial information
The supplied pricing is $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year. Annual billing saves $39.89 compared with 12 monthly payments, roughly 16.6%. This plan has a 14-day free trial. Confirm capacity and any additional usage charges before choosing annual billing; the product page does not specify storage or bandwidth allowances.
Why choose PayDrop
PayDrop brings delivery, customer access and reporting into one app, designed to reduce manual file sending and customer support requests. Confirm delivery reliability and support quality with a test purchase.
Pitfalls
Download limits control access to the link, not redistribution of a file after download. The broader PayDrop documentation also covers licensing and subscriptions; do not assume those are included in this Digital Downloads plan.
Conclusion
PayDrop is a strong choice if you need automated delivery with practical tools for handling lost or expired links. Before committing, ask for a demonstration using your file types and verify checkout, delivery, customer access and refund behavior. Its workflow is practical and complete for sellers of downloadable files, covering delivery, customer self-service and reporting.
