Hey , everyone .

My name is Darryl .

And today you're going to learn how to create your own digital download website where users can come to your website and purchase a digital download or product .

So here , for example , we're offering icons or ebooks or cooking passes .

You can offer any sort of digital download you want on your website and you don't need to have any sort of experience with wordpress .

Everything this video is for beginners .

So you're brand new to wordpress and you want to go ahead and set up your digital download website today in this video , I'm gonna show you how you can set that up .

Now , let me just kind of give you a tour of the website and show you what you'll be learning today in this video .

So first off , we'll be using a free theme with a one demo importer , which will import the entire website for you .

Make all the pages , you have to spend all the time setting everything up from scratch .

Now , I'm gonna go to my shop page , right ?

Just to kind of give you an example of what you can do on this site .

So here we are offering different products .

So right here you can offer an ebook or cooking instructions or icons or even pieces of software .

So if you want to offer a template services or you want to sell uh plugins , you can do that with this website .

Now , also I'll be talking about the different type of digital downloads you can offer on your website .

So here we have a product .

Now , this is actually a subscription product .

So if you want to offer products where people can come to your site and pay you every single month or every single week or every single year , you can do that in this video .

Also , if you want to have something where people purchase something on a one time fee such as icons and you can set the price to whatever you want .

I'll show you how you can get set that up in this video .

And the great part about this video is that I really like this interface .

You know , it's very user friendly .

In fact , your users will have their own personal dashboard where they can go ahead and download any product they want , they can see their purchase history .

They can also change their account information as well and they can even update their payment method on their personal dashboard as well .

So right here , for instance , you know , let's say they've downloaded something in the past , they can click on view details and download and right here they'll always have access to their digital download product .

So you can see right there , the file has downloaded now we'll be using again a free theme and this is really easy to set up .

So if you wanna learn how to create your own digital download websites today , in this video , I'll be showing you step by step on how to do that .

So if you're ready , let's go ahead and get started .

All right , let's get this tutorial started .

So the first thing we'll do is purchase our domain and hosting .

So for example , your website dot com .

After that , we are going to install Wordpress onto our domain and Wordpress power is more than one third of the internet .

So it is by far the most popular platform for making websites .

After that , we're going to install a free theme and import our website for us with a one button demo importer .

And lastly , I'll be showing you how you can set up your website and start selling digital products .

And I'll also be recommending different services at the end such as uh pro features or something else that you really want to kind of add more functionality to your websites .

I'll be introducing you to those features as well .

Now , there is a link in the description of this video .

It'll take you to a page that looks just like this right here and this is site dot com .

Now , you might be wondering why , why using Sgro dot com .

Well , I actually tested out cy ground against , what was this 15 different other hosting companies ?

And cy came up as number one as the most fastest and the most reliable with the best up time and the best customer support .

In fact , we beat uh they be a host , they be Go go daddy .

They are fast .

That's why in all my videos , I always recommend uh cy ground dot com for hosting now right here .

You can see .

Yeah , you know , I recommend them .

You know , they're great .

Now we scroll down right here and we'll have three plans .

Now .

Not to worry if those of you who are on a budget , not to worry about it because this company offers 24 hour customer support and a 30 day money back guarantee .

So that is pretty cool .

Now , in all my tutorials guys , all my tutorials , I always recommend the grow big option because with the grow big option , you get to host unlimited websites rather than just a single one .

So that is a pretty big difference .

So uh for those of you who are new here , you'd probably want to go with grow big .

You don't need to go geek , that's too big .

But uh starting out the grow big is perfect .

So right here , I will click on order now , this is your domain .

So this is going to be the one that you type in on the dress up here .

So make sure it's something that you want .

So I'm gonna put , um , my digital download website , see if that is available .

Hopefully it is there , it's available .

All right .

Congratulations .

Now , you're out to this page right here and this page , obviously you're gonna enter in your email , your password .

You're going to basically create an account with SROM here .

You'll enter in your client information and your social security number .

I'm just kidding .

That is a joke .

Everyone I do .

I , I make that joke in all my videos they don't ask for your social .

Nobody asks for your social here .

You'll enter in your card information and everything else .

And then right here we have purchased information and I'll go ahead and talk about this right now .

So I recommend the 12 months option because you already get the discount using my link and you actually get a larger discount and the month to month it's more expensive because you got to pay a $25 fee , which is just not worth it .

So , uh I recommend the 12 months and also for the extra services , I highly recommend the domain privacy protection and this is gonna save you from spam because I'm telling you guys , if you don't , if you don't have this check , you're gonna get emails from people from all around the country trying to sell you sex pills and , and , and all sorts of weird services .

So just make sure you get the domain privacy protection .

You , you'll really thank me later .

Trust me .

And after that , you'll click on this check box and you'll read through their terms of service and I know everyone out here reads all this stuff .

So you'll have to , you know .

Yeah .

Yeah , you have fun doing that .

Yeah , you have fun doing that .

So you , you read the terms of service privacy policy and once you are done , you'll click on pay .

Now .

Now I'm actually going to purchase an account with you and I will go ahead and meet you on the very next page .

All right .

So I purchased my hosting account and I am all ready to go .

So once you are ready , you'll click on , proceed to customer area now , right here , they're just basically trying to get you to set up your website .

So right here , I'll just say , ok , I'll start a new website and I want to use wordpress and right now they're trying to get you to set up your , your admin email .

So make sure you enter in something that you'll remember .

So I'm gonna enter in my email right here .

So it is Darryl digital download at yahoo dot com .

I'm gonna set up this right here , Patty Wack 99 9 and then I'll enter in my password .

Make sure you remember this stuff and you can always change this later .

So don't worry about it .

But uh make sure you write this down So you don't want to forget it .

Oops , looks like my password didn't match .

Let's see .

Right here .

Did I answer that ?

And here we go .

It's , you know , Pastor is always weird .

See , right here I , I'll do this right here .

Let's try it one more time .

There we go .

All right , cool .

So , here I click on confirm and , um , right now I'll click on save .

Sure .

And then I have this all set up .

And um I'm just going to say I don't want to offer this service or I don't want the service .

So I'll , I'll skip that .

I have red and I click on complete set up .

So what is doing for us now ?

It's actually installing wordpress automatically for us on our account .

So we don't have to go through the process of handling it through our C panel .

But you know , I'll show you uh also how you can install wordpress as well onto your C panel just in case you know , it's your first time you want to install it by yourself .

You don't want to use the setup wizard .

I'll be showing you how you can also set up a wordpress through your accounts .

So right here it says proceed to customer area and uh this is it guys .

So this is our account .

So whenever you have a problem with something , you can always give Syron a call , they have 24 hour customer service , you can call them any time of the day .

And um , they also offer a 30 day money back guarantee .

So , you know , if the video just wasn't for you and you have problems with it , uh Not to worry about it , you can always go ahead and give them a phone call or , you know , talk about whatever you want to talk about .

So right here is our website and uh we can actually access it by clicking on , go to admin C panel .

Now , I'm just gonna quickly show you how you can install wordpress , uh the manual way just in case you want to , you know , do it yourself .

So I'll click on , go to see panel and access C panel securely .

And right here , you just simply click on wordpress and click on install now and then simply just go ahead and select your websites .

You'll go ahead and put in all your information .

Uh Actually right here , the site settings , you can always change this later .

So don't worry , uh the admin user name .

So make sure you put in your admin user name and password , put an email .

And then right here you just click on install .

Now , I already have wordpress installed .

So it's just gonna say that it's already installed .

So uh for those of you who don't have an installation of wordpress , that's basically how you do it .

So right here , I'll go to my accounts and right here under we , we can see that our site is , it's installed wordpress as a wordpress icon .

You'll click on , go to admin panel and basically this is where we're going to set up our websites .

All right .

So , go ahead and enter in the information I told you to write down .

So mine was , uh , the patty whack 999 .

And then I'll go ahead and enter my password .

Now , if you forgot your password , just click on , lost your password and it's gonna ask your email and it'll basically send you the information to your email .

Ok .

So right here , I'll click on login now , right here .

We have a set up wizard .

Now , I'm actually going to skip all this .

So I'm gonna click on the exit right here and I actually want to disable this plug in .

So , uh , really quickly , I know this might be a little jumping the gun , but I want you to go over here to plugins and go to install plugins and I want to disable this wordpress starter .

That's something that's , that comes with the side .

I wouldn't really need that .

All right .

So that's basically why we do that .

Now , if you want to see your website right now , it's actually live on the internet .

So I'm over here to visit site right here and this is our website .

It's live on the internet .

Now , we're using a default theme and it doesn't really look good .

So I'll be , I'll be , you know , I'll , I'll give you a , a site or don't worry , we , we'll get there , we'll get there .

Now , over here on our dashboard now , I want to do two things before we start this video .

I want to show you about the Perma links .

So right here , go to settings and go do Perma links .

And right here we have these different options .

Now , you'll change this to post name .

And the reason why we do this is because when we make our website , we want to go to our website dash about us , right ?

Not 209 .

Do you know all this weird stuff ?

So , uh doing this , it's good for seo and it makes your site looks a lot cleaner .

Also , one other thing I want to note is that right here under users , you click on your profile .

Now , right here you have different color schemes and everything else .

So I'm gonna set mine now whenever you want to change your password or your email , this is where you're going to do it at .

So right here you can change the email and also right here you can generate a new password and then you can also put in whatever password you want .

So that's just a way on how you can update your security information .

Ok .

So right here I'll click on update and um , now if you want to go ahead and kind of just browse around , you know , all this stuff right here , it's , you know , this right here will make a page this right here .

It can make a blog post uh appearance and themes .

These are basically the , the , the themes that you can use .

So there's , you know , there's a lot of free themes out there .

You know , there's a lot of different themes and it's basically the structure of how your website kind of looks .

So you can kind of browse around and just , you know , just kind of get comfortable and say , oh , these are cool , you know , et cetera , but we'll be using a free theme on another website .

Now , there is a link in the description of this video .

It'll take you to a website to purchase , I'm sorry to , to download your free theme .

So this is the theme that we'll be using .

And again , there is a link below to download this free theme doesn't cost you anything at all .

So once you are here , you'll click on download now and then right here , we'll go ahead and enter in our first name and last name .

So my first name , my last name , I'm gonna give them my email address and I'll click on download now .

All right .

So it's making us a free account .

Ok , cool .

So right here you can see digital download , you can go ahead and download our wordpress theme .

So right here you just click on download and there you go .

So now you can see that the file has downloaded and Now , we're gonna go ahead and upload this to our website .

So let's go back to our website right here .

Now , we have there's various themes , of course .

Now , right here you'll click on upload theme and we're going to upload this theme right here .

So I'm gonna click on , choose the file and I'm gonna go ahead and download or upload that theme right there .

So , the theme that I use right here is right here .

So digital download and I'll click on open and click on install now .

All right , cool .

Our theme has been successfully installed now , right here , you click on activates now , right here .

It's saying this , the recommends the following plugins .

Now , we're going to install all of these plugins .

And for those of you who don't know what plugins are , they're basically like applications for your website .

They're kind of like additional features .

So , you know , you know , on your , on your iphone , there's something for a chase application or there's a video game or this helps you record better or something like that .

That's exactly what plugins are .

They're just apps for your website and a lot of them are free .

In fact , all of these plugins right here are free .

So right here you click on begin installing plugins and right here you'll click on this and you'll click on install .

So we want to install them all at the same time .

So click on , apply .

All right .

And now , right here , it says return to a required plug-in installer and now we want to activate them all .

So right here we'll click on activates .

All right .

Cool .

And then right here , click on a return to dashboard .

All right .

Now , our site might have changed a little bit .

So let's go ahead and take a look at our website right here .

So , right here , I'm gonna click on visit sites and you can see our site looks a little different now .

And that's because of the theme that we're using .

And this theme has a customizer , page builder .

So I'll show you that in just a little bit .

So we're gonna go ahead now and upload , I'm sorry and download our demo that we want to use .

So over here , uh actually , there is another link in the description below and it'll take you to a page that you can actually download the demo importer .

So again , the link is in the description below and you're gonna go ahead and download this file right here now , what this file is and why you're uploading it to your website is this is the file that uploads all of the demo content and sets up all of the pages and everything .

So we don't have to build everything from scratch .

So after you upload this file , you're gonna have a fully functional website that can literally take payments and it'll even upload demo products for you .

So right here you click on a theme demo right here .

It says click here .

If you download the demo file , you go ahead and download that and once you do that , we're going to upload that onto our website .

So let's go back to our website right here .

We're gonna go to dashboard .

Now , we're gonna go down to appearance and you see it says Rara demo import , we're gonna click that .

Now , if you don't have that option , that means that the plug in that you installed didn't install correctly .

So it's going to be this one right here .

The Rara one click demo import .

In fact , you can even find this plug-in on the Wordpress uh repository for plugins .

So if you just search for that plug in , you'll be able to find it .

That's it right there .

20,000 active installs .

Wow , that is , that is a lot of active installs and relays out that many active installs .

So go to appearance and go to Rara Dema imports and right here , click on demo imports , upload demo file and now you're going to upload that file .

And I'm telling you , it's gonna change our website into a fully different website .

So I'm gonna go ahead and upload that file .

Believe it is .

And see right here .

My , my downloads , you guys help me find it and I have so many files .

I believe it's right here .

So the digital download demo content and I'm gonna click on open and click on install now .

Now , right now it's just saying import demo now .

So I was everyone today .

Are you guys doing good ?

Let me know in the comments below , you know , II , I had a really good day .

I , I was , I was , I don't know , I , I just went hiking today and I feel great after that .

You know , it just , it was a good day , you know , some days you wake up , it's a bad day and today I just , I woke up and I'm like , it's kind of a good day today .

You know , I kinda , I don't know , it just felt good .

I , I played some video games and I won , you know , and you know how that goes .

So this again , guys , this might take like a minute or two , but there you go .

It's done .

So .

All right .

All right .

So it has successfully installed , click on , check the front page now and look at that , look at our website .

It's all done for us .

This is a fully functional website and this is live on the internet here .

We have a blog .

So if you like to talk a lot and blog and tell people about your feelings and , you know , today I went to the store and all that good stuff , you can talk about it right here on your blog , uh downloads .

These are basically the downloads that we have and also our shop and these are basically just showing us the pages So it's created like in case uh someone failed the transaction , a purchase confirmation , a purchase history , it's basically created all the pages for us .

So your users will never have to be lost and it'll always redirect them to the correct place .

Pretty amazing , right ?

So I've shown you all how to , oh , sorry , 11 more thing , let me back up here .

These links right here are actually from their websites .

So right here , if I click on home , it takes me to actually the demo on their website .

So we need to go ahead and change that really quickly .

OK .

So uh yeah , that , that's kind of one thing .

It imported , they should have imported .

So we need to change the home right there .

So what we're gonna do is we're gonna take our URL right here and I'm gonna show you how to customize your menu .

So right here , we're gonna go to dashboard appearance and go to menus now right here where it says home , you see how it has the URL right there .

We'll just go ahead and paste ours right there .

That's it .

And save the menu now in the future .

Whenever you have a page , you're just going to go ahead and just say , OK , I wanna add this page to the menu , add it to the menu and you can see style I was added to the menu .

So a lot of these pages , we're gonna go ahead and , and delete they're just showing you an example of the pages .

So we don't really need these pages .

So they're just kind of giving you an example of what these pages are , are looking like for the demo , you know , just to kind of help you understand the theme and everything else .

So , uh but for these pages right here , uh we don't even need to offer this on our menu .

So I'm just right here .

I'm just gonna remove everything .

We don't need any of those pages .

So all this right here , the portfolio , we're gonna go ahead and remove all this right here .

All right , post page category page .

And if you wanna view these pages , um again , you'd have to go to your menu and just check them out .

But you know , we don't really need to have these on our menu because they're already on our theme .

So we're not deleting the pages .

We're just deleting it on our menu .

We don't wanna have this on our menu .

And of course , you wanna make a , a drop down menu .

You can see how we can make a drop down menu .

So that's basically a drop down menu .

All right .

So right here , click on save and let's go ahead and take a look and you can see right here their menu is now fixed and if I click on this , it'll take you back to my original home page right now .

Let's talk about editing this page .

So how do I edit this page ?

You know , you probably don't want to offer this same exact stuff , right ?

So , uh let me show you how to do that .

So right here you'll click on customize at the top and these are the theme customizer options .

So this is basically where and how you edit your websites .

So right here they're talking about , they have a pro version and again , there is a link to the pro version , but I'll talk more about that .

At the end of the video , you don't have to get the pro version right here , demo documentation .

They can give you like the documentation link , you have a problem with something uh right here , site identity .

So this is your logo .

And if you have a logo , you can go ahead and upload it right here .

And if you don't have a logo , you guys can go to fiber dot com .

There is a link below to fiber dot com where you can go ahead and purchase a logo .

In fact , I'll just kind of give you the example of it really quickly .

So fiber dot com and I recommend fiver because you can get a logo for like five bucks guys .

It's really cheap .

So and they have really good ones .

In fact , on my website , I even got a logo from these guys .

Um They have them really cheap , you know , we for the right price , you know , we're on a budget here .

We , we can't afford $100 logos .

Guys , that's too much money , you know .

But here we go , you know , they'll make a logo for you for $5 and they're very good , you know , they're , they're pretty good .

So you can go ahead and get your logo here and once you get it , you can go ahead and upload it to your websites .

And right here it says , uh , you know , my blog , we can change that to what's , what's your , what's your website name ?

So we'll just call this uh Paddy whack the download store , the download store .

Now , you don't have to have that display .

In fact , we can take that off and it'll disappear .

So it's just an option for you to decide to do that or not also for your facon .

So , right here , you see how all these websites have these little icons , you're gonna upload yours right there and that icon will display whenever you visit the websites appear in settings color .

So you can change the background color .

But um it changes the border , but I don't really recommend it .

You know , I think it's ugly .

You don't really need it to have that and the background image as well .

You can add a big background image over it , but I don't really think that's needed .

It's really old school .

I mean , sites back in the nineties used to do that and today it's like , you know , it's just really old and outdated , a general sidebar layout .

So this right here controls the layout of your pages .

So I'm over here to my shop page or my uh my downloads page and you see here how we have this default layout right here .

So the sidebar is on the right , the icons are in the middle , we can go ahead and change that .

So I believe it is like this right here on the top , not this one .

Let's see .

It's , is it this one right here or it's the post side bar or is it the default sidebar layout is the default side layout ?

Sorry about that .

So the default sidebar layout controls the general sidebar for any page that you create .

So right here , you can see that it controls our downloads page and it'll also control our shop page as well .

Now , on the blog page , remember we talked about blogging earlier , this section right here controls the blog section .

So when you make a blog post right here , you can see that um we have the sidebar to the right now .

I believe this is actually the the actual post .

So when you click on the post right here , now we can control it .

So right here , if I want the sidebar on the right , we can do that or we can change it to the big picture bigger .

There's four different ways of how you can do it .

And this right here to change the position of the content et cetera and then the the general page sidebar layouts .

But uh for most of us , we probably just want to have the sidebar on the right .

That makes the most sense .

So that's just an example of what the sidebar layout is , front page settings .

Now , this is probably the most important part of this video banner section .

So here we can have a banner section .

Now , here you can go ahead and upload a background image .

Now , if you do decide to use a background image , you'll have to use it by this size because that size works the best for this team or you can choose to hide the image or even disable this whole entire section .

But you know , you might not want to do that .

So I think it's welcoming if you want to change the title of something right here , you can type it in right here .

So for products and now you can see that it's changed also right here .

This subtitle controls this section and you can actually just click on these little icons and the theme customizer will actually guide you on to where to edit .

So right here , the banner link and then we have the second link .

So this first link , where do you want to take them ?

Well , you probably want to take them to your shop page , right ?

So let's go ahead and do that here .

I'm gonna click on publish .

I'm gonna get the URL for my shop page .

Oh , I'm sorry .

It's the downloads page .

The download is considered the shop page .

It's , it's the same thing guys .

The shop is downloads in , in this section .

We call it downloads , but you can always change it to your shop page .

You can change the name of the , change the page of the .

Wait , let me step back here .

Change the name of the page .

You can always do that .

So we'll go click on our theme customizer here and we'll go to our front page settings .

And for our banner section , I want the first one to take them to our shot page .

And then maybe this one could take us to our contact page .

So you just do the same thing and then just do the contact page , right ?

Publish , publish always means safe .

OK .

Download section .

So this section right here controls this and of course you can change , you know , the best selling items , right ?

And of course , you can always , you know , uh the button link , we can link them to , you know , any , any page we want um et cetera .

So you can go kind of go through that and mess , mess around these settings , you know , a number of downloads .

You want three , you want six , you want nine , you can go ahead and do that right there over here .

The feature section , this section right here controls this section .

So if I click on this right here , you can see that now we can edit it .

So right here , we can change something that we want , we can change the icon .

So amazing screen sharing and we can always change or upload the image .

We can even upload our own image and we can even add a link right here .

So we can even add a read more , so read more .

And then right here , we can open it in the same tab or a new tab .

So probably just leave it like that .

I want to open up in a different tab .

So that's basically how you can edit this section .

You can also add widgets right here .

So uh this sec this theme has different widgets that you can add .

So maybe a call to action , you can add in a call to action by now and then description and then maybe put in um a link right here .

Does it store and then um you know , you can basically add in whatever you want , you can add it on .

Uh You can even center this big a blue or changes to , you know , whatever you want to change it to a button , number one button link .

So you guys get it , you know , we can , we can upload an image , et cetera .

Let's see if we can upload them in our library , you know , just something you know something .

Oh That's way too ugly .

Yeah , see I don't like adding background images .

To that .

It's , it never works good .

So I would just use the icon .

The icons are pretty good , but I'm just showing you that you can kind of venture off and kind of , you know , add in your own widgets or social media or something like that to kind of , you know , add more style and the core for your websites .

Let's go back over here newsletter section .

So this is actually due to the plug in .

Now , if you have mailchimp and you , if you don't have Mail chip and you want to learn how to use mail chimp , I have a full tutorial on mailchimp where you can actually integrate mailchimp on your website all for free .

Now , I'm not gonna go over Mail chip in this video because I already made a 40 minute video on mailchimp .

So uh I'm not going to cover the email marketing in this , but I will provide you all with an additional resource on how you can integrate your website with mailchimp .

All right , testimonial section and testimonials are great and half of them are probably fake .

I mean , they're all fake .

I mean , these people are just , you know , this is where you put , uh you know , we love the website and it was a beautiful website and here you can talk about testimonials and you know , they have demo images that you can use and you know , everyone's having a good time .

You know , everyone's having a good time .

So right here , the section controls this up here and then these four are the people below that .

And of course , you can add in more testimonials if you choose to do so .

All right , and you can always reorder these change them to wherever you want to change .

So it's all drag and drop guys and then the call to action right here .

So right here , you know , get your free ebook now , you might want to link them to a specific product .

So right here , um you know , you'd put the , the name , I'm sorry , the link right there .

So you'd put the link of the , the product and then , you know , get your free ebook , et cetera and there you go .

All right .

So once you actually make downloads , I'll show you do that , just the bits you can link them later to that download right there .

All right , I'll click on publish and uh let's go ahead and go back .

So we have general settings as well .

So the header settings , header settings is this section up here .

So we can choose to hide the shopping cart or the header search if you want to do that .

So you see how the , the magnifying glass is gone .

We can go ahead and activate that as well .

All right , the dashboard page , we already have the dashboard page set up for us .

So we don't need to do anything right there .

Social media settings .

You can go ahead and link your social media follows and I believe they're on the bottom of the page right here .

So they're right here .

Going back over here , we have SEO settings .

I have a full tutorial on Yost seo .

So I don't recommend um actually they don't offer much , but I have a full tutorial on SEO .

So if you want to learn how to optimize your site , you can go ahead and check that video out as well .

The link is in the description below .

Here , we have the the posts and pages settings .

So here you can kind of increase or you can change off certain sections .

So for example , on the blog section right here , we'll go ahead and go to the blog page .

So here we can actually hide the author section .

So you see how there's an author right there , we can go ahead and hide that we can hide related posts , we can hide the category as well .

Uh We can hide um you know , the the post author , we can find , we can even hide the uh the data was posted as well .

And again , you'll need to go ahead and click on publish and then refresh it because sometimes when you change these settings , they don't always work visually .

So you have to actually change it and then you have to kind of go and look at the page and it'll change .

So that's basically what this section is right here .

Um excerpt is the number of words .

So basically saying there is 55 words and now you can see it's shrinking .

So 55 and then 30 it'll just basically , you know , it just shows more words .

That's all the option really does .

OK .

Going back over here , we have menus of , I've already shown you menus .

We have widgets and widgets are basically um these little things right here on the right side .

So uh right here we have the sidebar and we have a search bar related posts .

See that archives , which you'll probably delete uh categories won't need categories either meta , we'll get rid of meta .

And then right here , you know , they have just various options like uh they have recent comments , we can delete that as well , uh featured widgets .

So it's just something to kind of look nice and add style right here .

They have the follow us which all the social media icons right there , which is really cool .

And then they also have the uh post category slider as well .

And you guys can kind of mess around with this and you guys can kind of add in your own right here .

They have a client logo one .

So you can add on like a client logo or something like that to your site right there .

And that's the widget right there .

So you can kind of mess around with those and kind of have fun with those .

I don't want to go too far much into that because I don't want to V off and talk about widgets and everything else because they're very easy to understand .

Now , also one thing on the bottom of the page right here , we have our footer .

Now , this section right here , footer one controls this section and everything here is virtually just text .

So right here , you can see we're passionate about blah , blah , blah .

They have the icon right there .

Um Right here and these are all text or I'm sorry , this right here , the category .

So these right here just show the categories of your content .

So I'll talk more about that a little bit later .

Um This right here is footer three .

So it says recent post .

So any blog post you made , it's just going to show up here as a feed .

And then also right here , photo area four .

This is the email newsletter widget which I highly recommend to watch my male chimp tutorial .

So you can edit that .

And then also right here , this photo settings right here .

Uh We can always change that as well .

But um homepage settings , I want to talk about this right here .

So in the future , whenever you have a home page or whenever you decide to make a new page , you need to set your home page as your home page .

So what that means is basically saying when someone visits your websites , what page do you want them to go to first .

Well , probably the home page , right ?

And for your post page and you make blogs , you want them to go to your blog page , right ?

That makes sense .

Going back right here .

We're almost done , guys , we're almost done .

These are just the , the , the , the basics .

We , we'll get to the good stuff in a bit .

All right .

And then the footer settings , of course , right here is all this right here .

So this is basically how you can style it and you can just change this to anything that you want right there .

OK .

So in a nutshell guys , that's basically how you would design the websites .

Now , let's talk about the options inside of EED and everything else .

And um yeah , let's go ahead and do that .

So let's go to our dashboard right here and right here we have downloads .

Now , downloads are products .

So when someone says downloads , they mean products , so downloads our products .

So here we have a bunch of demo content right here .

But I want to go ahead and delete all these products right here .

And I want to go ahead and make one from scratch .

So we're gonna make a product from scratch .

Now .

Also right here , we have categories .

Now , I want to go ahead and delete these all as well and we're gonna make our own categories .

So first let's make a category and what a category is , is basically saying what kind of product ?

Is this , is this like the , is this the um the Nintendo instructions or is this the word press plug in category ?

So right here , we'll type in images .

So images and then right here , we'll do software .

So we have one category for images and one category for software right here .

Under all downloads , we'll click on , on add new and this is the name of your product .

So let's say for instance , this is a Photoshop .

So right here , we're gonna do Girls Photoshop , enter a subtitle here .

So a picture of girls for your website .

All right .

And let me go to my secret website right here .

See website .

All right .

And I'm gonna go ahead and grab this demo contents .

All right .

So let's go back over here and this right here is just , it's just content guys .

So whatever you want to talk about your product , this is where you're going to talk about it right here .

OK ?

So basically the title small description and this is where you want to go ahead and talk about it .

Now , right here .

We have pricing .

So how much does this product cost ?

Well , I'm gonna say this product costs $10 right ?

And I'll talk more about payment gateways a little bit later .

But right now , let's just create a product now , right here we have product types .

Is this a default or is this a bundle ?

If this is a bundle , we can go ahead and talk about our other downloads and we can bundle all of our downloads together .

If this is just a single product , we can just go ahead and put it right here .

So right here , I'll put um girl's photo and this is where you're gonna enter in the URL .

So right here , you'll click on , upload a file and you'll upload the file right here .

So you can select the files and whatever file that you want to go ahead and basically um put , that's where you're going to go ahead and put it right there .

OK ?

But I'll just select one , you know , just for total purposes , I'll just put um this right here and insert that .

So basically saying if someone decides to purchase this , this is the product they're going to get , they're going to get that picture of the girl .

All right .

And we can also add in a second one .

So you can also add in multiple ones right here .

So right here , we can put in like um um additional image and then we'll just basically say that if they , you know , if they purchase this , they get both images .

So there you go .

And then um also right here , we have our categories .

So I'm gonna say this goes in the image categories .

Now , we can also set tags as well .

So I'll put girls right here .

Maybe you're selling uh pictures or something like that .

I don't know what you're selling I mean , I've built websites from tarot cards to pornography , to business websites .

Everyone out there has a whole different niche , you know .

So that's basically what that means .

Now , right here we have file download limits .

So how many times can people download this if you want it ?

Unlimited ?

Just leave it blank .

And right here we need to set a download image .

So right here , I'll probably set the download image and it looks like we are ready to go .

Uh Right here , disable the automatic output of the purchase button .

I'll just go ahead and leave that blank .

Now , if you ever want to take this product , we can always add it as a short code later .

But we , I don't think we need to do that because , you know , I don't , I don't think that's necessary for this video .

It's just not , you know , it's basically taking , we can put that product anywhere .

Now .

Also , right here , you can see the sales , the earnings and the download log for this product .

So we made the product .

Let's go and take a look at it , view the products and there you go .

So this is the photo and they'll go ahead and purchase it and they can go ahead and download it .

So right here , purchase it goes into their carts here , they click on checkout and now you can see the girl's photo shop job is right there and they can go ahead and put in their information and then they can go ahead and purchase it on the website pretty easy .

Right .

Very , very easy .

That's it , guys .

I mean , that's , that's the whole tutorial , you know , we're done .

See you later .

No , I'm just kidding .

We , we have some other stuff to talk about before we talk about the end .

So , we made a product .

Now , let's talk about different products .

Let's talk about variable products .

So , right here , I'm gonna go to plus new and go to download .

All right .

So right here we'll talk about uh we'll make another product we'll talk about um uh let's talk about a word press plug in , word press plug in .

And then maybe this one here is called like um maybe this one , I don't know , it does uh optimize images .

So optimizes image plug in .

And then right here you can go ahead and talk about something , you know , whatever you want to talk about .

Now , right here , I want to click on enable variable pricing .

So basically , I want different options .

So maybe right here , this is the basic plan .

So , so right here , this is the basic and right here , this one costs 9 99 but this right here is the pro version and maybe something like this right here will put like uh 10 websites and this one right here costs 1999 .

And this right here is the ultimate one and this one right here cost 29 99 now , right here it says default .

And what that means is saying which one do you want on default ?

So when it comes to the product , which price do you want on default ?

Well , I'm gonna say the , the pro and right here we can choose the file right there .

Now , over here under bundle .

Now , right here you , you can see the the the amount of files .

So basically what the bundle is is that it'll go ahead and search through all your downloads and you can grab all your downloads together and offer one bundle product .

Now , you can also achieve the same results by just making them all from scratch .

But if you have a lot of downloads , the bundle can just go ahead and search through all of them and it'll just basically go ahead and just grab all of your downloads .

So that's a difference between bundle and also the default .

So right here , we'll go ahead and give this a name .

So plug in here , I'll upload the file .

So maybe something , you know , let's let's grab one .

I'm gonna grab , I'm gonna grab the um the bloom plug in by elegant themes .

It's a great plug in .

Of course , I I'm not selling it guys .

It's just for , to toll purposes , ok ?

So don't ask me here , I'll go and upload it and then price assignment .

So right here we can set this to the basic , the pro or the ultimates All right .

So I'll just send it to , I'll just set it to the pro .

And again , if you guys are ever confused on something , you can always hover over the question marks .

So with very pressing enabled , you need to choose to allow certain pricing variations access to specific files , et cetera .

So right here , I'll just put all , I'll just put all , all right .

So let's go ahead and scroll down .

We have download notes , excerpt and authors .

And also right here we can set the download image and you'd probably want to put an image of the plug in .

So I will just put something that looks like this right here .

All right .

All right .

So we have the plug-in and we have everything set and we have the default uh right here , enable multi option , purchase mode allows multiple pricing options to be added to your cart at the same time .

That's probably never a good idea guys because if I select that , that means the person can buy all three at the same time and that would be stupid and they would want a refund and you don't want to deal with refunds .

Trust me , you don't want to talk to people .

You don't want to deal with people , man .

They're , they're a pain in the butt .

So here I'll just put plugins and I'll add this to the software category .

All right .

And we'll click on publish .

All right .

Now , let's take a look .

At our download .

So you can see here is the plug in .

Uh here's the description we can see the pro is set to default and we have the basic , the pro and the ultimate and people can just click on purchase and they can go ahead and click on , check out and there you go .

So now you can see that that product was also added to the cart as well .

Pretty simple , pretty easy guys , right ?

I mean , that's pretty much it .

I mean , that's a big part of the video is making these products .

Now also right here under our under our our shop page , we have Girls Photoshop and then we have our word press plug in as well .

Now you can also set different categories on your menu as well .

So you know how we made images and we made plugins , we can actually go to our menus and we can actually set categories on our menu .

That's why we have categories , right ?

So right here under settings , I'm sorry , under appearance and menus , we'll go ahead and I already deleted all these pages .

That's why they are in red .

Remember we deleted all those , we deleted all the , all the products .

Go ahead and delete all these , get them all out here , get it , get them out , get them out , get them out , get them out .

OK ?

So in order to get the categories onto our menus , we actually need to go to the category page .

So to do that , I'm gonna go to my , one of my open tabs right here and I'm gonna go to my downloads now right here .

Uh I'm just going to click on a product .

So right here I'll just view now on the right side right here .

You see where it says categories and software .

So right here , if I click on software , I have this link right here .

Now , this is basically saying all the software products that I put in that category such as software will show up on this specific page .

So over here , I want to go ahead and put in a custom link .

I want to put in that URL right there like that .

And then right here , I will put plugins , add that to the menu .

So what this is basically saying now I'm gonna go ahead and delete the , the shop one .

We don't , I don't even know why we have this here .

Just go ahead and get rid of the shop one too .

We don't need this right here .

These are all just they come with the theme you , you , you don't need these and the only one you need is the downloads .

So I'm gonna take the plugins right here and put it right below it like that .

So now if I click on save menu and I hover over downloads , plugins will also show up in a subcategory .

So let , let me click on visit site to give you an example .

So here we have downloads and now we see plugins and if I click on plugins , it's going to bring us to the download category of software and it's going to show all those categories .

So that's just a way on how you can do it .

You can also decide to add it to the menu as well .

So let me just give you one more example before we go on to the next section .

So right here under our menu section , we can just take this right here and just add it to the menu like that .

So now we don't even have to have a drop down .

So it'll just display right there plugins and then it'll just show all the plugins because downloads , it's gonna show a mixed result of all your downloads .

So it's just a way on how you can categorize it , you know , to make it look a little bit more cleaner .

So now I've shown you all how to do that with the menu and everything else .

Uh Let me talk about the actual , um let me talk about the actual settings of this plug in .

So remember , uh we're using the easy digital downloads plug-in .

So right here under installed plugins , this is the main plug in that we're using right here .

You can also find it on the wordpress .

I think it's repository or depository .

I don't know which one it is what they call it .

So right here , you can just type in easy digital downloads , easy digital downloads and there it is .

So this is the plug in that we're using .

And again , you know , you guys can venture off and , you know , they have a lot of add-ons for it , like free link or they have different gateways and all sorts of really cool stuff for it .

But I just want to let you know that this is the primary plugging that we're using in order to , you know , do all this stuff and everything else .

So , all right now , right here , just click on downloads and these are downloads here .

You can see the price , the sales , the earnings , et cetera .

And here are basically the options for it .

So we have the categories , the tags , the payment history , the , the customers , it'll show us all the customers once people start to purchase uh , discount codes as well .

So here we'll go ahead and enter in a quick discount code .

So right here , click on add new and this will be Patty and right here you can choose a percentage or a dollar amount .

So for example , this right here will give $10 off whatever product , whatever plug in that they use or purchase this right here gives 10% off any plug-in .

So that's just basically , um an example .

So right here you'd say I want 10% off .

Uh , here we'll put actual the code .

Sorry , my bad here , Patty .

10 .

So this is the name of the discount for you .

This is the actual code .

Ok .

Download requirements .

So which one is this ?

Which one is this used for ?

If this is blank , it can be used for any product .

Do you want to exclude certain downloads from this coupon code ?

You can go ahead and do that as well .

You can set a start date .

So maybe you wanna just have um you know , you wanna have it available for the week , you know , saying I want this coupon code only good for a 28 day or for a week or something like that .

So minimum amount , the minimum dollar that can be in the cart before this can this can be added .

So basically what that means is saying if let's say for instance , you , you ever gone to like the store and saying if you spend $50 you get $10 off your purchase .

That's basically what this is saying right here .

Ok .

So it basically sets a minimum amount spent in order to use the coupon code .

Max uses .

How many times can this specific coupon code be used before ?

It's invalid ?

So I'm gonna say five and can this be used once per customer ?

So you want to limit this one time per customer ?

If you decide to do that , then the same customer uh can only use it one time .

So that's basically what that means .

So , Patty 10 and there is the code .

You guys want to test it out really quick .

Let's go ahead and test it out really quick .

So let's go ahead and go over here , I'm going to check out and right here how it says enter in a discount code .

We'll just go ahead and click on apply and it'll give us 10% off our order .

Who look at that ?

We saved a few dollars .

All right .

That is , we're working , we're working , uh going back over here under downloads .

So we were at , um , discount codes right now .

We have reports .

So whenever you make money , it's going to show up right here .

All right .

Uh Let me go to tools really quick tools you probably won't ever need to use .

They're more for development and API and other stuff like that .

They'll also need this stuff for support .

If you have any problems , you can go to their form and they should give you free support for the plug in .

Um Also , let's talk about the last section right here , settings .

After this , we'll talk about additional extensions .

So right here we have General , which is basically saying that these are the pages that they're going to use when something failed .

And by default , they've done a pretty good job right here .

Now , right here , you might want to put where your stores from .

Um , say save changes .

You can also put the state as well and you can also allow EDD to track uh what you do in your store to help them improve their product uh currency .

So right here we have currency and you can set the , the , the , the , the comma after the thousands .

I mean , I don't know , some kind of ii , I really don't know why they offer this .

I'm sure there's a reason why they offer this .

But you know , when there's like $1000 there's one comma 000 , you can change that here .

But good luck .

I don't know why anyone would want to do that .

But yeah , you can select your currency right here .

Um API we're not going to use any API because most of you don't need it or use it .

Uh Right here we have test mode enabled now , right here , we have paypal Standard .

So we will be using paypal Standard and I wanna kind of add in some icons here .

All right .

So here we will be using paypal Standard as our payment gateway right here .

Paypal Standard .

So what you're gonna do right here is basically just enter in your email address right here .

So I'm gonna enter in my email address right here and then right here you're gonna enter in your company name .

So when someone goes to paypal , it actually checks out , they're going to see your company logo on the paypal screen .

And if you don't have a paypal account , you can simply go to paypal dot com and you can make a free one .

So right here , you can go to sign up and you can do a , a personal or business account .

Now , when you do this right here , it's saying enter the email address you used to sign in this email address is the one you're going to enter when you go and you put it in over here .

So once you actually have a paypal account , you'll go ahead and make your account go through the process .

And then whenever someone purchases through paypal , you will receive money in your paypal account and you can withdraw it to your bank account .

Now , I will also be giving you an additional way on how you can have people check out on your website with a credit card as well instead of going through paypal because you know , you want to give them multiple options and people don't want to use paypal and that's perfectly fine .

I'll talk about a feature on how you can implement that on your website .

But for now , we'll just go ahead and you know , use paypal standard here .

Uh We'll just put this in test mode just to give you an example a little bit later emails .

So right here , you can mess with your emails such as purchase receipts and new sale notifications as well .

And I think by default , they should have this set up for us .

So uh let me see right here .

There we go .

Yeah , so there you go .

So that's basically what it looks like and then also new cell , new cell notification .

Um I'm just curious as to why it doesn't show up there .

Let's see here .

Purchase receipt .

Yeah , so it looks like it looks like it's automated .

I'm not really sure why they're all blanks over here .

But um , let's see how that works out preview .

Yeah , I'm really not sure that the content is there and usually there's a template .

So um I would just leave it blank .

It looks like by default it's set up .

So , um , the emails are set up .

So when someone purchases something , you , they will get a receipt and also you will get notified also when someone purchases something as well and you can always test this out in the test section .

So we're actually gonna purchase something on our website in just a little bit uh styles right here .

We don't really need to do this because uh by default , we're using the theme for our styles .

But this right here , we control basically the colors of the buttons when people use like , you know , the forms or whatever , like default button or plain text , et cetera .

Taxes .

Now , in my state of California , there are actually no taxes on digital goods .

However , you may be in a state that requires taxes on digital products .

How can you find this out ?

You can go to tax dot com and tax tax dot com will notify you digital goods .

They actually have an article right here of what states actually charge sales tax right here .

So I think this little image right here is a good example .

See right here .

Uh States where digital tax are not taxable and then states where digital taxes are taxable as expensive as California is .

I'm actually pretty , pretty amazed Cali hasn't charged for that .

I can , I can easily see them charging for that in the future .

And if that ever happens , uh I'm moving to Nevada , we can go gamble in Nevada .

That's where we're going , we're all going to Nevada .

So , um yeah , so right here , um tax rate if you are based in , um you know , you can add tax rates for specific regions .

So , um let's say , for instance , we're in Nevada right there .

We can go ahead and charge sales tax in Nevada right there .

So I would just go ahead and put United States and then , oh , no , sorry , Nevada doesn't charge sales tax .

Uh Washington does , I think we'll just grab a random one .

You get the point .

You , you look at the image and then you know , you go from there .

So oops my recording .

Ok .

So anyways , we'll go back over here and then we'll just say apply this to the whole country and what tax rate are they ?

Well , you can go to tax dot com and you can check it out , but I'll just put 5% .

So right here , we are adding tax rates to specific areas .

Ok .

So that's basically how that works out .

Now , I'm not 100% sure on sales tax .

If you are based in AAA state that doesn't charge sales tax .

I know , I think in California that since we are in a state that doesn't charge sales tax , we don't charge sales tax in other states .

So you might wanna go to , uh , tax dot com and read about that .

I can't give legal advice on taxes guys because I'm not an , a , an accountant .

But I believe that if I'm based in the states that doesn't have sales tax and I do not apply it to other states .

I'm not 100% sure you might wanna ask tax dot com .

But this is just an example of how you can apply tax to specific areas probably if you're located in a state that charges sales tax .

All right .

All right .

That's enough of that .

Ok .

That's basically how to do that .

All right , privacy .

So you want to enable a privacy policy , you can go ahead and do that as well .

Um You can go ahead and agree to , you know , you add in your privacy policy , et cetera , you could set your privacy policy here as well .

So you would make a page and then you would basically add that to the section right there .

Ok ?

So your privacy policy , that's where you would add it as and of course , I'll talk about that in just a second , uh , miscellaneous right here .

These are basically just , you know , check out there's just various options for you .

You know , you can just read them , you know , immediate redirect after someone adds something to a cart , et cetera , you can go ahead and go through these options and just read through them .

Now , right here in our pages .

Now , if you ever want to make a page , I'm sure we probably didn't cover that .

You just go to add a new page and this right here will probably be your privacy policy .

And then right here , you can , you know , we'll do the demo content again .

So this right here , I know the demo con where , where's , where's the secret website at secret website ?

Here we go .

There we go .

So this right here would be your privacy policy page .

So , you know , whatever you want to talk about , just , you know , hey , you know , this is privacy policy .

Um I will be making a full video on a tutorial on this specific builder .

It's just basically the default wordpress builder .

So , you know , we can add images and all sorts of stuff .

So this is the same way on how to make blog posts as well .

So , um you know , I'll have a full video on this one as well , but I , I don't want to cover Gutenberg in this because , you know , it's something that I just don't want to cover because this is not about Gutenberg , but this is basically how you make pages .

It's pretty simple , right ?

And here you click on view page and then there's the page , very simple stuff , right ?

So we added in the text , the image , et cetera .

So you'd probably set your privacy policy to whatever page you'd want right now .

Let's talk about post really quickly .

So post , we have all posts right here and these are all the posts and guys making posts is the same way .

Just click on add new .

It's the same exact thing .

So like 10 things girls love and then here you just put money , money , money , money , money and then money or something like that , whatever , whatever , you know , whatever .

There you go .

So you just basically put that in like that .

It's , it's a joke .

Guys , I'm not saying girls love money .

I mean , at least the girls not , I mean , maybe the girls in Beverly Hills do because I mean , I used to go to bars and I'm telling you , man , some of those girls in Beverly Hills do .

They just , they're just crazy like they're sick , they're just , they're just like , you know , I won't even date a guy unless he makes like a minimum of $250,000 .

I'm like , what do you have to offer ?

Like , why are you so good ?

You know , what do you bring it to the plate ?

You know ?

And they're like , oh well , I have followers on Instagram .

It's like , I don't care , you know , like get out of here .

So right here we click on publish and this is your post and your post .

Oh Actually , we'll need to um put in a um over here in a document , featured image , always put a featured image , guys on your stuff , featured image .

That's basically the picture that shows up when they see the article .

So right here , visit sites , the blog section and right here 10 things girls and then you know the content , the image , et cetera .

So that's basically how you make a blog post guys .

Very simple .

You know , you can talk about whatever you want .

And here's other various blog posts , you can always go ahead and go to your post page and delete whatever you'd want by clicking on this with the trash and there you go .

All right .

So we've talked about blog posts , we talked about all the settings .

I pretty much covered everything also right here in our portfolios .

I don't even recommend doing this .

These are just basically categories .

They're just , they're , they're basically blog posts in disguise .

Iii I don't know why we use portfolios , but I don't really want to use portfolios at all .

So I'm just gonna go ahead and delete all those .

I don't really want to use portfolios because we already have the blog page and we have , you know , we don't need portfolios , it's , you can have it and it's just basically like portfolios for something that you want to talk about or whatever .

But I don't know , I , I just , I just feel like I don't really need to use this .

We already have blog posts .

We have digital downloads .

Why do we need portfolios ?

But that's just another category .

All right .

So let's go ahead now and test out the products right here .

So we'll go over here to check out and uh right here , we'll go ahead and put in an email address here .

We have our logos .

We added logos here .

We'll click on purchase .

All right .

Now , what it's doing right here is that it's basically taking us to paypal and once somebody purchases something through , through paypal , it's then going to redirect it and it's going to take , take us back to our websites here .

It says transaction fail , I click on canceled .

But if you , if it was successful , they'll be brought to their dashboard page right here where they can go ahead and download one of their products .

Now , let's talk about other ways on how you can have people purchase your product .

So paypal by default is not the best way you might want to have someone purchase something on your website , right ?

And I'm gonna show you how to do that .

And I'm also going to show you how you can set up recurring payments as well such as memberships on your website .

So we'll go to Darryl Wilson Wilson dot com dash edd .

There is also a link in the description of this video .

It'll take you to this page right here and it's going , it's going , it's my affiliate link .

So if you guys do decide to purchase something , I make like 10% .

It's , it's a very small amount .

Whoa look at these prices .

Now , these are some of the packages that easy digital download offers .

Now , I'm gonna talk about why this is good and talk about why it's not expensive .

Now , the reason why is because you actually get a lot of different plugins for this price .

So I actually have an all access pass .

I really do .

In fact , if I go to my downloads account , um you guys will actually or go to my account right here and I'm gonna update profile .

You guys will actually see that I actually have , let me go over here .

There we go .

So I actually have this account guys .

So right here you can see , I do have it .

So I I'm , I'm not just saying that I'm actually building a theme company and we're using this same platforms .

No joke guys , we're using the same thing .

So over here I'm gonna , I'm gonna recommend the extended pass for you all .

You don't need anything else .

Now , woocommerce , the other platforms , they charge 100 and $50 per plug in this right here .

You get the entire lots .

So you get like , like , I think like 20 different plugins for 100 and $99 .

And it's not that bad guys .

I mean , I gotta be honest , uh , plugins can cost anywhere between , uh , especially with commerce products .

They can cost anywhere between $50 to $200 .

And that's per plug-in with this .

You're getting an entire package for $200 and this gives you the ability to add Stripe , which I'm gonna show you how to use right now and also recurring payments as well .

And those are the two most important ones that you're going to use in this video .

So go ahead and purchase it right here , purchase pass and once you guys purchase it , I'll meet you on the next page .

And in fact , they're using the same platform guys .

So in fact , it's gonna look just like this right here .

So right here , credit card , paypal , paypal info or credit card info , etcetera .

And they can just sign up for everything and that's it .

So I know it can be a little expensive .

But remember this company also gives a 30 day money back and you do get a lot , I mean , you get a lot for this price and it's definitely worth it and you make one sale , I mean , the 1 99 for the entire year , it's definitely worth it .

So let's go ahead now and add these plugins .

So once you actually , once you actually purchase this .

You'll go in your account right here and you'll actually see it all in your profile .

So right here under downloads , we have the I'm sorry , subscriptions , we have the all access pass .

So right here , I'm gonna click on view invoice .

I believe that's where it is .

View invoice , right ?

You invoice .

And uh , let's see right here .

The Alex is pass .

I believe you can actually download this from their dashboard .

There we go .

All right .

So this is my downloads page .

I clicked on the product .

Now , these are all of the plugins that I have now under my package .

What I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna go ahead and show you all the ones that we're going to use .

Now , I highly recommend the Stripe because with the stripe again , people can use their credit card on your website and you won't have to redirect them to paypal .

In fact , it's , it's pretty much pretty much recommended and I'll show you how to set it up .

Stripes are free service .

It's really easy to set up .

So we're gonna go to page four and we're going to download the Stripe account , the Stripe Payment Gateway , this one right here and we're also going to download the recurring payment .

So you'll have to click on download now and it's going to download the plug in and the download the Stripe Payment Gateway as well .

All right .

So first , what we're gonna do is I'm gonna show you how you can set it up with Stripe .

Now , if you're skeptical and you're still not sure on it .

Just keep watching this video because you're gonna see that , uh The Stripe and the recurring really add a lot to your site .

I know it's just two plugins , but they're really good .

So , right here , I'm gonna go to plugins and go to add new , go to upload plug-in .

Click on , choose the file and I'm gonna go ahead and select the , the Edd plug in the Edd stripe install now and activate .

Now over here , I'm gonna go to stripe dot com is a stripe dot com .

It's like that and you're gonna make a free account and again , it's free .

It doesn't cost you anything .

So go ahead and pause the video right here .

You're gonna see sign in , I already have a dashboard and this will actually link directly to our website and everything's just gonna show up like that .

Really beautiful , really easy .

So over here we have stripe enabled or we uploaded the uh the stripe or we're gonna upload it right now .

So right here plugins , upload plugins .

Choose the Did I upload it ?

I think I did upload it .

Did I just , am I losing my , my mind ?

Yeah , it's already installed .

Why did you guys tell me you guys making me do all this hard work ?

So right here , we have the stripe payment gateway enabled now to find this .

You'll go over here to downloads and go to settings .

All right .

Now , right here we have payment gateways and we're going to enable Stripe right there and click on save and I want the default one to be Stripe .

Actually , let's add all the credit cards , make it all beautiful .

There we go .

Now , right here you notice that we have Stripe and now it does say connect with Stripe , but I have used this and I have had issues with it .

So I'm gonna recommend doing this manually and it's very , very easy to do this manually .

So right here , we have the test key , publishable key guys .

We're simply just gonna go ahead and copy and paste .

So right here , I'm gonna click on view , test data developers API So right here , I'll do my publishable key , copy this and then test right here because I want to test this out .

And then here I wanna grab my secret key and I'll go ahead and put in that right there .

Now , if you want to do live , you would simply just click on this .

Um You know , I'm gonna go to developers really quick and click on view test data and then there's the API keys .

So now this is for live websites .

So you simply just copy and paste those right there and that'll work and then it's , it's connected directly to your Stripe account .

So whenever you make money , it's going to show up right here .

In fact , we're going to do a live uh sale to show you that this actually works .

So let's go ahead and go down and go to save changes .

Now , you have other options right here , like enable stripe check out and then upload a logo .

So we're gonna go and do that really quick .

This actually adds a lot of design and you'll kind of see it .

So right here , I'll put uh this icon right there and then click on save changes .

All right .

So now that now that it's working , uh let's go ahead now and test it out .

So , uh right now this is in test mode .

But again , remember we can always put this in live mode at any single time , right ?

So visit sites , downloads .

You wanna go ahead or actually I have something in my and my uh page right there .

So here we have credit card or paypal and right here I put credit card , we have our information right there and here I'll click on purchase here .

We're gonna turn our , our credit card information .

It's not real here .

You can see our logo .

We have our company name .

10 , yeah , 2022 and then 123 .

And then we'll go ahead and pay the amount and this is the exact process that your customers are going to experience on the websites .

And then there you go .

So now you can see that they have the products right there .

They have all their stuff , they have the receipts and when they go to their dashboard right here , they're gonna go ahead and see all of their information and they can always go ahead and download it any time they want to go ahead and download it .

So it's a very fast way for people to check out on your websites .

And I highly recommend Stripe .

Ok .

So now I've showed you guys how to basically add in uh a , a faster payment gateway .

Let's do the last part and talk about how you can add recurring payments to your websites .

Now , really quickly , if I go over here and I refresh the page , let's see right here .

I'll refresh it , see under test data .

You can see now that the information that it accepted the payment right there .

So you can see that uh , the amount of dollar went up because we're using our test data and that basically shows people that um our site's working and then of course , you can just take this break back to your bank account .

It's that easy guys .

So , um , just make the accounts go through the process , set up a Stripe account , connect it with your websites and you can start taking payments right away on your website .

Pretty cool .

Right .

Pretty amazing .

Now again , we're gonna do the last part and we're going to install a plug in that will basically give us the ability to , um , create recurring products .

So right here , we're going to download the recurring product .

And now when we make products , we have the option to basically add recurring products .

So right here under downloads , we'll click on add new and this right here will be maybe wordpress theme and then we'll call this like a zenith .

And then here you go ahead and put in some description about your product .

So this is the best theme ever .

Now , right here , you can see that we have our product and now you can see right here this has changed a little bit .

So now we can add the recurring feature .

So I'm gonna say that this is $59 for the year or you can say that this is a monthly service .

So , um right here , we can do it as many times as we want .

So monthly , we can set it up to $59 recurring every month , one time .

And then right here , is there a sign up fee ?

So how much does it cost to sign up ?

So that's basically how you can set that up .

You can also enable this with a free trial .

So we'll give you a seven day free trial as well .

So again , let's take this from the , from the beginning $59 recurring one time a month .

And then right here , you can see that this is basically um the sign up fee , I believe the , the times is actually how many times in total ?

I believe that's how it goes .

I'm almost certain .

So let , let me , uh , I might not , I might want to check that out , but I'm almost positive that , uh , the times is basically saying the maximum amount of times .

So I believe that's what it is .

If it's indefinite , you would leave it at zero .

But if you want to select like a certain amount of time , you can do that .

Uh Here , you can also select quarter , quarterly , yearly , semi annually , et cetera .

So right there , you can see that we're charging $59 .

Yes , I believe it is monthly .

I believe it's , it's monthly and I believe the times is just how many times in total do you want to charge before it's canceled ?

But we can just leave it as zero for indefinite until they cancel it .

All right .

And then right here , of course , we'll just put the product .

So amazing theme here .

You upload all your hard work here .

We'll put in the what ?

The bloom plug in again .

We got bloom in there again .

And then right here to the download image .

So this right here is our theme .

Yeah , that , that's our theme under software and there you go .

All right .

So we'll view the download .

Here's the download , we'll go ahead and purchase it .

We'll check out and now you can see that this is billed monthly and until canceled .

Yeah , that's , I had it Right .

I had it right guys .

So , uh , the times is how many times total it would charge them .

So just leave it zero and you know , let them cancel or let them contact you et cetera .

And then right here it's canceled with a seven day free trial .

So here you can see that it is charging them $0 and they can pay with credit card , et cetera .

And then , um , you know , they can pay with paypal .

Now , the reason why there's no credit card there is because we disabled .

We're , it's in test mode right now .

So that's basically it , I'm sorry , it is place here .

But the reason why I'm entering it like this , like all these random numbers is because this is in test mode .

So once this is out of test mode guys , um then it'll basically start appearing in your Stripe accounts under your real accounts .

So here we go , we entered in our information .

It says , please wait and there you go .

So right here you can see time billed .

It's until canceled .

And right now they're not being billed because it's a trial .

Trialing .

Is that how you really say it trialing ?

I'm I'm just curious as to if that's the real way on how to do it .

So basically we set up a subscription product guys .

Congratulations .

So that's basically a quick rundown of how to set up your , your website .

I think this video cover most of it .

Now there are other products on here like uh membership websites and multi vendor websites that you can add to your site .

But you guys can kind of venture off and do your own thing .

I can talk about this for another four or five hours .

But , um , you , I've showed you basically how you can set up products .

I've shown you how you can set up stripe , uh showing you how you can upload products .

Everything .
