Generate a download link

If you are looking to generate a download link, you can do this by following the method below.

How does it work?


You will need to create a free order so that you have the download link generated. Once you have the order, you can copy the download link and use this to send to your customers.

How to generate the link


Go to your "Orders" page in Shopify and create a new order. You can do this by clicking the "Create order" button, adding the product that has the file attached to it, then adding your email address, and then setting the discount to 100% so it's free. Then click the "Mark as paid" button and create the order. You can see our video here:



Once the order is created, you can now go to the download page and copy the download link from the file you want to share.

Ensure that you are aware that you may have global limitations set. If you plan on sharing this link with many users, you will need to go to the Order page in Fileflare and override the global limitations for that particular order so that no one reaches a limit-reached page.
