Easy Digital Downloads Integration
Find out how to show your plugins that are hosted with Easy Digital Downloads
Easy Digital Downloads is a great tool for selling plugins, and now with WP Plugin Info Card, you can now show these plugins on the frontend using WP Plugin Info Card.
Required Extensions
For the EDD integration to work correctly, it is recommended that you have two add-ons installed:
Software Licensing (Required)
Product Reviews (Recommended, not Required)
Enabling EDD
Head to the Plugin Info Card admin options and select the EDD tab.
Check the "Enable Easy Digital Downloads" toggle and switch it to on. Save your settings.
Enable Readme Parsing in EDD (Highly Recommended)
Head to EDD's settings under Extensions. Make sure readme parsing is enabled and that you have a valid downloadable readme.
Edit Your Download and Enable License Creation
License creation must be enabled
License creation must be enabled in order to sell your downloads. It is also required to show your plugins using the WP Plugin Info Card, as it enables extra fields for your plugin..
Edit Your Download and Add Your Plugin Information
Add as much plugin information as possible to your download, including:
Setting a Download image (featured image)
Setting a banner image
Plugin homepage
Make sure your Readme has as much information as possible as well.
Edit EDD Download Plugin Info Card Settings
You'll find additional settings for the Plugin Info Card in the right sidebar. Make sure these are filled out for each download.
You can also override the ratings if you don't have the Reviews plugin installed or have ratings elsewhere.
Adding the Card
You can add the card either via block or shortcode.
The card will show up as normal on the frontend, albeit with EDD data.
Clear Cache as Necessary
If you make any changes to your download, you'll have to clear the Plugin Info Card cache.
You can do so by clearing the transient and options cache.
