# Digital Download Delivery Checklist: Make Every File Easy to Buy and Re-Download

Digital delivery should feel boring.

Buyer pays. Buyer downloads. Buyer knows where to find the file later.

If the buyer has to search inboxes, DM you, or guess which file is latest, the delivery flow is weak.

## Before upload

Check:

- file opens correctly.
- file name is clear.
- version number is included if needed.
- instructions are included.
- license file is included.
- preview images match the product.
- product format is listed.

Do not upload messy folders and hope buyers understand them.

## On the product page

Tell buyers:

- what file they receive.
- file format.
- file size if useful.
- software needed.
- license type.
- whether updates are included.
- how to get support.

Simple details reduce refunds and support questions.

## After purchase

Buyers should know:

- where to download.
- where receipts live.
- how to re-download.
- how updates work.
- how refunds work.

3DIMLI buyer docs explain that purchased files are accessible from the buyer dashboard and that downloads are linked to the buyer account.

## Delivery mistakes to avoid

Avoid:

- vague file names.
- missing instructions.
- broken archive files.
- unclear license terms.
- no support note.
- no version history.
- changing files without telling buyers.

Digital delivery is part of the product experience.
