Sell digital assets ​

Some marketplaces reached out to us with interesting use cases.

1. Create a file specification ​

You can request vendors to add a file of any type to their product by adding a specification Short text, then change the Style to file.

sample file

2. Create a product ​

Vendors can upload a file when creating a product in Add products > Specifications:

file uploaded

Once the product is published, you can access the URL of the file in Shopify > Products > (your product) > Metafields. Programmically, you can use the metafield reference in your theme.

3. Asset download link on the checkout page ​

Following Shopify > Settings > Checkout > Order status page > Additional script, the marketplace can add a script to add a list of downloadable assets.

See the code
liquid
<script defer>
  // Garnet script to display the downloadable assets to the checkout page
  function addSection() {
    {% assign metafield_key = 'download_link' %} // ⚠️ Change the name of the metafield key
    const firstNode = document.querySelector('.section .content-box:first-child')
    const parent = firstNode.parentElement
    const newEl = firstNode.cloneNode(true);
    newEl.querySelector('h2').innerText = 'Download your assets'
    const content = newEl.querySelector('p')

    // Add links to content
    content.innerHTML = ''
    {% for line_item in order.line_items %}
    {% assign asset_url = line_item.product.metafields.custom[metafield_key] %}
    {% if asset_url %}
    content.innerHTML +=
      `<div>
          <a href="{{ asset_url }}" target="_blank">
            {{ line_item.product.title }}
          </a>
        </div>`
    {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
    if (content.innerHTML === '') return console.log('No assets to display')

    parent.insertBefore(newEl, firstNode.nextSibling)
