Do you have a tutorial on how to set up Hikashop to sell downloadable products? In this case, I have a store with 10 digital products and about 25 printed books. The ebooks are just PDFs. I uploaded them to the individual products. When I do a test purchase, I receive an order placement e-mail and an order confirmation e-mail; but no download link. Why? What is the missing step? My payment system is authorize.net. For testing, I have authorize.net account in test mode. But I doubt that could be the problem. It must be something else. I also have the manual shipping plugin enabled but I haven't created any manual shipping methods. Do I have to?
Please refer me to the appropriate documentation on setting up products for instant download. From what I've read, e-mail is the only available distribution method. Correct?
Thanks again,

Hi,

There is no documentation to setup HikaShop for that because HikaShop doesn't need any setup for that.
Just add the files to the products and there will be a download link in the confirmation email automatically.

The only case where that wouldn't be the case would be if you had changed the option "registration" to "no registration" in the configuration but that shouldn't be the case as we clearly specify in the documentation of that option that the "no registration" won't allow you to sell files as the security checks for the downloads require user registration.
