Easy Digital Downloads · Service marketplace

Sell services, not just files, from your EDD store.

Requirements, delivery tracking, and client chat, all attached to the EDD payment.

Easy Digital Downloads was designed around file downloads, not service work with a brief, a delivery date, and a client waiting on an answer. EDD Sell Services packages services as EDD products, collects the requirements after purchase, and keeps the whole exchange on the order.

Version 4.3.0 · Last updated July 2025 · Tested up to WordPress 6.7.2 · Requires Easy Digital Downloads

From payment to delivery

Four stages, all of them on Easy Digital Downloads screens.

EDD Sell Services runs as an addon of Easy Digital Downloads. Nothing here asks a buyer to leave your store or a vendor to sign into a second dashboard.

  1. 01

    Downloads

    The service is published as an EDD product

    You create and price a service the same way you create a download, so it sits in the catalog and sells through the EDD checkout you already run. Add the estimated delivery time at the same time.

  2. 02

    After purchase

    The buyer answers the brief

    You attach the questions a customer has to answer before work starts. They answer them once the payment goes through, so the job begins on written requirements instead of a guess.

  3. 03

    On the order

    Chat, files, and status live on the payment

    A real time conversation thread, shared documents, and a status tracker are attached to the order. Both sides get notified as each step completes, and the vendor gets an email the moment an order is placed.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    Final file, then the ratings go both ways

    Attach the finished file and mark the delivery. The customer rates the vendor afterwards, and the vendor can rate and review the customer too.

What it covers

A complete service order workflow, built on Easy Digital Downloads.

No feature sits behind a tier. Personal, Professional, and Agency ship this entire list. The plan only sets how many sites you can run it on.

  • Requirements collected up front

    Add the questions a customer must answer after purchase, before the vendor starts. The answers stay on the order, so the brief is on the record rather than in an inbox.

  • Delivery dates you can move

    Set an estimated delivery time when you add the service, then update it later from the service page if the job changes shape.

  • Vendor and customer chat

    A real time thread on each order, for the questions that would otherwise become five emails. On a subscription service the thread stays open for the life of the subscription instead of closing at one delivery.

  • File and document sharing

    Share working files inside the order, including the final delivery file the customer downloads.

  • Status tracker and notifications

    A simple tracker plus real time notifications, so neither side has to ask where things stand.

  • Deliveries that do not stall

    Set a number of days on the final delivery. If the customer never gets back to you, the order stops waiting on them and moves to the review stage on its own.

  • Order emails on both sides

    The vendor gets an email the moment an order is placed, and both sides are notified after each step completes.

  • Ratings that run both ways

    Customers rate the vendor after delivery, and vendors can rate and review their customers too.

  • Requirement sets you reuse

    Save the questions attached to one service, then apply that same set to the next service instead of typing them out again.

  • Colours that match your storefront

    Seven colour pickers cover the service panels and the conversation, with a border radius setting beside them, so the delivery screens sit inside your theme rather than beside it.

  • Frontend Submissions compatible

    Pair it with the FES extension for EDD and third party vendors list and manage their own services.

Built for

The people already selling their time through a downloads store.

If you sell your work rather than a file, the EDD checkout is the right place for it and the download list is the wrong shape for it. This closes that gap.

  • Freelance web developers Package build and migration work and sell it from your EDD store like any digital product.
  • Graphic designers Collect the brief and the brand files on the order once payment clears, then send the finished artwork back through the same thread.
  • Digital and email marketers List campaign work as EDD products customers can browse and buy directly.
  • Writers and translators Collect the source material and the brief up front, then track delivery on the order.

Third party vendors

Running Frontend Submissions? With the FES extension for EDD installed, vendors list and manage their own services, and each one keeps their own delivery threads.

Pricing

Three site limits, the same service marketplace in every plan.

Personal, Professional, and Agency share the full feature set. The plan controls how many sites you can run it on, and how fast you can reach us. Every tier is available annually or as a one-time lifetime license, and every renewal after the first year is billed at 30 percent of the base price. Read the refund policy.
